Features of Nelfilcon A Contact Lenses
Nelfilcon A lenses are packaged in a solution containing polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. Polyvinyl alcohol is released gradually over a 20-hour period with each blink, continuously lubricating the lens surface and stabilizing the tear film throughout the day. This moisture system was developed from polyvinyl alcohol technology previously used in eye drops to support tear film health.
At 69 percent water content, Nelfilcon A lenses allow oxygen to reach the cornea and are comfortable for sensitive eyes and first-time wearers. Their thicker composition makes them easier to handle, though some wearers may feel the lens on their eye, and moisture can gradually evaporate in dry conditions toward the end of the day.
Key features of Nelfilcon A contact lenses:
- High biocompatibility with no negative immune response
- 69 percent water content for oxygen transmission and all-day comfort
- Blink-activated moisture release from polyvinyl alcohol for continuous lubrication
- Suitable for sensitive eyes and first-time contact lens wearers
- Thicker composition for easier handling during insertion and removal
- May lose moisture in dry conditions, reducing comfort over long wear periods
- Not ideal for wearers who prefer a lens they cannot feel on the eye

Popular Contact Lens Reviews
Affordable price and quality
Love the ease and price of buying Focus dailies through Lens.com. Quick delivery and cheaper than through my eye doctor. Same product and quality. Why waste time and money anywhere else.
Awesome service
I have used Lens.com for several years now and their service is excellent. They even took back contacts I had ordered by mistake. They make it easy to order and receive your product quickly.
Would highly recommend them!
Great service!
I screwed up my billing address and these folks called right up, squared it away and sent my contacts. Thank you!
Dailies are the WAY TO GO!
I like that these are use and throw - less chance of infections or disease transmission. I never buy saline solution anymore, where I use to spend quite a bit on that in year when using the monthly contact. They are worth the extra cost IMO.
Literally forgot i had them in
They're super soft and watery. I accidentally rubbed my eye earlier and forgot I even had them on. Awesome service will buy from here again.
Took some time
It took me a few days to get used to how to look through these, but now they're fine. No more carrying reading glasses
Quality
Switching to Focus Dailies was the best choice because I love the convenience of throwing them away at night without dealing with solution.
