Key Takeaways

  • TOTAL30 Multifocal for Astigmatism is the world’s only Water Gradient multifocal toric contact lens.

  • Provides clear, stable vision at all distances with strong end-of-day comfort, even on day 30 of wear.

  • Addresses a growing, underserved segment of astigmatic presbyopes with broad parameters and high first-fit success.

Alcon announced the US launch of TOTAL30 Multifocal for Astigmatism, which the company describes as the only multifocal toric contact lens featuring Water Gradient Technology. Designed to help patients remain comfortably in contact lenses as their vision evolves from standard correction to age-related presbyopia, the new lenses are now available nationwide.

TOTAL30 Multifocal for Astigmatism delivers clear, seamless, and stable vision at all distances—from near through far—while maintaining excellent end-of-day comfort. In clinical assessments, wearers rated comfort nearly 8 out of 10 even on day 30 of wear, underscoring the lens’ ability to support long-term comfort as visual needs change.1

“With the introduction of TOTAL30 Multifocal for Astigmatism, Alcon is unlocking new possibilities with contact lens innovation,” said Kristen Brotherson, Vice President and General Manager, US Vision Care at Alcon. “As the world’s only Water Gradient multifocal toric contact lens, this launch expands our industry-leading portfolio and demonstrates our commitment to solving some of the most complex vision challenges. By uniting advanced material science with proven optical design, we’re delivering a new option for ECPs who have been waiting to better serve their presbyopic patients with astigmatism.”

According to Alcon, key features of TOTAL30 Multifocal for Astigmatism include:

  • Water Gradient Material, with nearly 100% water at the surface, creating a gentle cushion of moisture so nothing but moisture touches the eye

  • PRECISION PROFILE, an optical design for presbyopia correction

  • PRECISION BALANCE 8|4, providing the on-eye stability astigmatic patients need for consistent, stable vision

  • CELLIGENT Technology, a biomimetic surface that helps resist bacteria and lipid deposits for an inherently clean lens

  • UV Blocking and Blue-Violet Light Filtering, making TOTAL30 the only monthly replacement contact lens family to offer both

TOTAL30 Multifocal for Astigmatism is now available across the US and will soon launch in limited international markets in 2026.
