DAILIES AquaComfort PLUS MULTIFOCAL – 90 Pack Contact Lenses
If you've started holding your phone further away to read it, or you've noticed reading glasses creeping into your routine, you may be experiencing presbyopia — the gradual, age-related loss of near vision that most people notice from their mid-40s onward. DAILIES AquaComfort PLUS MULTIFOCAL is Alcon's daily disposable answer to this, combining Precision Profile design with blink-activated moisture to keep near, intermediate, and distance vision working together in one lens. The 90-pack gives you a three-month supply for one eye. Trying this lens for the first time? Our 30-pack gives you a lower-commitment, one-month trial supply instead.
Who DAILIES AquaComfort PLUS MULTIFOCAL Is Right For
This lens suits contact lens wearers experiencing presbyopia who want the simplicity of a daily disposable rather than juggling reading glasses over the top of their regular contacts, or switching between distance and reading correction throughout the day. It works well both for wearers newly diagnosed with presbyopia and for existing AquaComfort PLUS wearers whose prescription has changed as they've gotten older.
If your prescription doesn't include presbyopia correction, this isn't the lens you need — see the standard DAILIES AquaComfort PLUS 90-pack instead. If you also have astigmatism as well as presbyopia, speak with our optometrist, Peter Merrett, about your options during business hours — this combination needs a proper fitting to get right.
Precision Profile Design & Blink-Activated Moisture
Multifocal lenses work by blending different vision zones into the one lens surface, and how well that blending is engineered makes a real difference to how natural it feels. Precision Profile design is built to deliver smoother transitions between near, intermediate, and distance vision than a basic multifocal lens, while blink-activated moisture releases comfort agents with every blink, so the lens stays comfortable through a full day of near work, screen use, and everything in between.

Understanding Your Addition Power
Multifocal prescriptions include an "Addition" — the extra near-vision power added on top of your regular distance correction — and AquaComfort PLUS MULTIFOCAL groups this into High, Medium, or Low rather than a precise diopter figure. Your optometrist determines which category suits you based on your full eye examination, so if you're ordering this lens for the first time, you'll need that figure from a recent multifocal contact lens fitting rather than a general glasses prescription.
AquaComfort PLUS MULTIFOCAL vs. DAILIES TOTAL1 Multifocal
We stock two multifocal daily disposable options, and the difference comes down to lens material. AquaComfort PLUS MULTIFOCAL uses blink-activated moisture and Precision Profile design, and is a comfortable, well-established choice for most presbyopic wearers. DAILIES TOTAL1 Multifocal steps up to Alcon's Water Gradient material, which tends to suit wearers with more sensitive or dry eyes, or anyone doing long days of screen work. AquaComfort PLUS MULTIFOCAL is a sound, cost-effective starting point if you're new to multifocal lenses.
Adjusting to Multifocal Lenses
It's common to need a short adjustment period when starting on any multifocal lens, since your eyes and brain are learning to select the right focal zone automatically depending on what you're looking at. Most wearers find this settles within one to two weeks. If things still feel unclear after that, it's worth going back to your optometrist — a small adjustment to the Addition power or fit often resolves it, rather than the lens type being wrong for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a multifocal lens?
If you're finding yourself holding reading material further away to focus, or reaching for reading glasses over your distance contacts, you may have presbyopia. Our optometrist can confirm this and fit you for the right Addition power during a multifocal consultation.
What does High, Medium, or Low Addition mean?
It's the extra near-vision power built into the lens on top of your regular distance correction, grouped into three bands rather than a precise number. Your optometrist determines which band suits you as part of your multifocal fitting.
Can I claim this on my health insurance?
Yes, in most cases. We're registered with all major Australian health funds under Provider Number 2413719K, and clear claiming instructions are included with every order.
How quickly will my order arrive?
Orders placed before 10am Monday to Friday are dispatched the same day via StarTrack Courier Service, with next business day delivery to most major Australian cities when lenses are in stock.
