What Is the Max ADD for DAILIES TOTAL1 Multifocal Contacts?

The max ADD for DAILIES TOTAL1 Multifocal Contacts is HI, which corresponds to a spectacle ADD range of +2.25D to +2.50D in Alcon's multifocal fitting guide. Your contact lens prescription will show the ADD as LO, MED, or HI instead of listing the full reading-add number, exactly like eyeglasses. That difference matters when ordering multifocal contacts for presbyopia, since the lens must balance distance, screen, and reading vision. DAILIES TOTAL1 Multifocal Contacts are daily disposable lenses, so each pair is worn once and replaced after the wearing day.

Identifying the Maximum ADD Power Limits and Prescription Tier Ranges for DAILIES TOTAL1 Multifocal

DAILIES TOTAL1 Multifocal Contacts use three ADD categories for near-vision correction. Each tier connects to a spectacle ADD range, so the label on your contact lens prescription should match what your eye doctor fitted.

• LO ADD corresponds to spectacle ADD values up to +1.25D, which fits lower near-vision correction needs.
• MED ADD corresponds to spectacle ADD values from +1.50D to +2.00D, which fits moderate reading correction needs.
• HI ADD corresponds to spectacle ADD values from +2.25D to +2.50D and is the maximum ADD category available for this lens.
• The distance power range runs from +6.00D to -10.00D in 0.25D steps, so distance correction and near correction both need review.
• The lens also has an 8.5mm base curve and 14.1mm diameter, which should match the fitted prescription.

Accurate ordering depends on the full prescription, not the ADD label alone. A correct distance power with the wrong ADD category can still create problems with reading comfort, screen clarity, or distance balance.

How the Precision Profile Design Incorporates Smooth Transition Zones for Clear Near and Intermediate Vision

DAILIES TOTAL1 Multifocal Contacts use Precision Profile Design, which arranges optical zones for near, intermediate, and distance viewing. The goal is to create smoother movement between reading a phone, looking at a laptop, and viewing objects farther away. That design is paired with Water Gradient material, which has a 33% water core and a surface that approaches 100% water. For presbyopic wearers, the ADD tier still has to match the prescription because the lens design cannot make up for the wrong near-vision category. A fitting exam helps confirm whether LO, MED, or HI gives the best balance.
