TOTAL30 Multifocal for Astigmatism

At Eyes & Optics, we are committed to bringing the most advanced vision solutions to our patients. A significant new option is now available for individuals who have both astigmatism and presbyopia.

Alcon has introduced TOTAL30 Multifocal for Astigmatism, currently the only monthly multifocal toric contact lens that incorporates Water Gradient Technology.

Addressing Two Vision Changes at Once
After age 40, many adults begin to experience presbyopia, the natural change in focusing ability that affects near vision. At the same time, a large number of patients also have astigmatism, which requires a specialized toric lens design to provide crisp, stable vision.

This new monthly lens was developed to correct both conditions simultaneously. It provides astigmatism correction while also delivering multifocal vision support for distance, intermediate, and near tasks. For patients who previously had limited monthly lens options that addressed both needs, this launch represents meaningful progress.

Comfort Designed to Last the Entire Month
A key feature of TOTAL30 lenses is Water Gradient Technology. The inner core allows high oxygen transmission to support eye health, while the outer surface transitions to nearly 100 percent water.

This creates a soft, moisture-rich surface designed to feel smooth against the eye. The goal is consistent comfort from the first day of wear through the end of the 30-day replacement cycle.

Comfort is often the deciding factor for patients considering whether to continue wearing contact lenses, especially as eyes naturally become drier with age. Advances in lens material can help reduce that barrier.

Stability and Visual Performance
This lens also incorporates features intended to enhance clarity and reliability throughout the day, including:

A stabilization design that helps the lens remain properly aligned
Multifocal optics engineered for smooth vision at varying distances
A surface technology designed to resist deposits
UV and blue-violet light filtering for added protection

Together, these elements are intended to support both comfort and dependable visual performance.

What This Means for You
Adults with astigmatism and presbyopia sometimes feel that progressive glasses are their only practical option. Others may have discontinued contact lenses due to discomfort or inconsistent results.

TOTAL30 Multifocal for Astigmatism provides a new monthly alternative that may help patients maintain the freedom and convenience of contact lens wear. If near tasks have become more challenging or your current lenses are no longer as comfortable as they once were, this may be a solution worth exploring.

During your next visit, we can determine whether this lens is appropriate for your eyes and your daily visual demands.
