Important information for PRECISION7TM (serafilcon A) contact lenses: For daily wear or extended wear up to 6 nights for near/ far-sightedness. Risk of serious eye problems (i.e., corneal ulcer) is greater for extended wear. In rare cases, loss of vision may result. Side effects like discomfort, mild burning or stinging may occur. See instructions for use for wear, care, precautions, warnings, contraindications and adverse effects. The World’s First ACTIV-FLOTM System2 The ACTIV-FLOTM System is a revolutionary 7-day sustained-release technology for outstanding comfort.2,6 It starts with a brand new SiHy material called sera-filcon A. Within this lens, a permanently bound, water-loving moisturizing agent improves the hydrophilicity of the material.2,6 When taken out of the packing solution, a proprietary replenishing agent immediately starts releasing from the core to the surface and continuously moisturizes the lens surface over 7 days.2,6 ACTIV-FLOTM System PRECISION7TM PRECISION7TM: Unique ACTIV-FLOTM System Specially designed for 1-week optimal performance2 + + = New SiHy material serafilcon A Permanently bound, water-loving Moisturizing Agent2,6 Proprietary Replenishing Agent releases from core to surface2,6 JUST PICK YOUR DAY!

What’s incredible about PRECISION7TM is the ACTIV-FLOTM System, and what Alcon has accomplished in terms of elution over time. It’s awe-inspiring to scientists like me.” Alcon
