Alcon Precision7 Contact Lenses: The Next Evolution in Weekly Disposable Comfort
Alcon has officially expanded its highly successful Precision™ contact lens family with the launch of Precision7 contact lenses — a new weekly replacement contact lens designed to deliver consistent comfort, stable vision, and superior moisture retention for up to seven days of wear. These lenses are soon to be released in Ireland.
Building on the trusted technology behind Precision1 daily disposable lenses, Precision7 introduces an innovative moisture system that bridges the gap between daily convenience and longer replacement cycle efficiency. This makes Precision7 an exciting new option for contact lens wearers across Europe.
At Opticalrooms, we are proud to offer the latest advancements in contact lens technology — and Precision7 represents a major step forward in weekly disposable performance.
What Are Precision7 Contact Lenses?
Precision7 lenses from Alcon are designed for 7-day replacement wear and are powered by the brand-new ACTIV-FLO® System — a moisture technology created to deliver all-day comfort and visual clarity throughout the full week of use.
Unlike traditional weekly or bi-weekly lenses that can dry out as the days progress, Precision7 maintains hydration from day one to day seven.
Key Features at a Glance:
- ✅ Weekly replacement contact lens
- ✅ ACTIV-FLO® moisture delivery system
- ✅ 16 hours of daily comfort
- ✅ Stable, precise vision
- ✅ Available in sphere and toric (astigmatism) designs
- ✅ Made from advanced serafilcon A material
- ✅ High water content for long-lasting hydration
ACTIV-FLO® Technology Explained
Precision7 lenses use Alcon’s ACTIV-FLO® System, a dual-action moisture technology designed specifically for extended hydration over multiple days.
How ACTIV-FLO® Works:
- Embedded Moisturising Agent
Built directly into the lens matrix to lock in hydration from the start. - Replenishing Moisture Release
Gradually releases moisture throughout the week, helping prevent dryness and lens dehydration.
The result is up to 16 hours of daily comfort, even toward the end of the 7-day replacement cycle.
Advanced Lens Material: Serafilcon A
Precision7 lenses are manufactured using serafilcon A, a modern silicone hydrogel material that balances breathability and moisture retention.
Material Composition:
- 55% Water Content
- 45% Serafilcon A Silicone Hydrogel
This combination allows:
- High oxygen transmission for healthy eyes
- Improved comfort for long wear days
- Reduced dryness symptoms
- Enhanced surface wetting
Who Are Precision7 Contact Lenses Suitable For?
Precision7 lenses are designed to meet the needs of a wide range of wearers.
They are available in:
- Spherical lenses — for short-sightedness (myopia) and long-sightedness (hyperopia)
- Toric lenses — for patients with astigmatism
This makes Precision7 suitable for:
- Busy professionals
- Students
- Digital device users
- Travellers
- Anyone seeking fewer lens changes without sacrificing comfort
Why Choose Weekly Disposable Contact Lenses Over Daily Disposables?
Daily disposable lenses remain popular, but weekly replacement lenses like Precision7 offer several unique advantages.
1. Cost Efficiency
Weekly lenses typically cost less per month than daily disposables while still delivering premium comfort and performance.
This makes Precision7 a strong option for patients who want high-end technology with better value.
2. Convenience & Reduced Waste
With weekly lenses:
- Fewer lens packs are needed
- Less plastic packaging waste
- Easier storage and travel packing
You only replace lenses once every seven days rather than every day.
3. Stable Vision Performance
Because Precision7 lenses maintain consistent hydration throughout the week, wearers often experience:
- More stable optics
- Less vision fluctuation
- Reduced dryness-related blur
4. Ideal for Frequent Wearers
If you wear contact lenses most days of the week, Precision7 provides a perfect balance between:
- Comfort
- Eye health
- Cost efficiency
- Convenience
Precision7 vs Precision1: What’s the Difference?
Both lenses belong to Alcon’s Precision family but serve different wearing preferences.
| Feature | Precision1 Daily | Precision7 Weekly |
|---|---|---|
| Replacement | Daily disposable | Weekly replacement |
| Moisture System | Surface-focused hydration | ACTIV-FLO continuous moisture |
| Cost Structure | Higher monthly cost | More cost-efficient |
| Environmental Impact | More packaging waste | Reduced waste |
| Convenience | No cleaning required | Fewer replacements |
Precision7 is ideal for patients who want premium comfort with fewer lens changes and better long-term value.

- Proper cleaning and storage are essential
