You might know Alcon contact lenses by a few familiar names: AIR OPTIX, DAILIES, PRECISION, TOTAL, or FreshLook. The company is, without a doubt, a global leader in eye care. With so many options, it’s fair to wonder, “Do these lenses actually live up to the hype?”
We’ve got hundreds of consumer reviews to help you answer that question. Let’s see what EZContacts’ verified buyers are saying!
DAILIES AquaComfort Plus is Alcon’s daily contact lens line. Its main selling point is its AquaComfort Plus technology. This pertains to the blink-activated release of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) for consistent moisture and comfort for the entire day.
Because they’re dailies, these are said to be some of the best ways to get into using contact lenses. They’re comfortable for the whole day and convenient; no cleaning and storing is needed.
What Verified DAILIES AquaComfort Plus Purchasers Say
EZContacts customers are 50/50 on Alcon’s Dailies, with actual all-day comfort being questioned. Some people suffering from dry eyes love them, and some don’t.
Debra G. loves these contacts!
Perfect ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jeffery J. also claims they’re comfortable:
Comfortable ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Very comfortable. Will definitely buy again.”
On the other hand, Lawren G. finds them quite uncomfortable!
Quite uncomfortable ⭐️
“Lousy. Much less comfortable than the monthlies I was wearing before. These Start feeling really bothersome by mid afternoon.“
Cherylann M. is in the middle, contending that if these are uncomfortable, you might need to opt for contacts best suited for dry eyes.
Okay ⭐️⭐️⭐️
“They are okay but next time I’ll choose one more geared to dry eye.”

What Verified DAILIES Colors Purchasers Say
It’s another mixed bag of reviews, with some loving these daily color contacts and others not liking them much. It seems like color selection is a common issue. Remember that these are designed to enhance your real eye color. Choose a color that matches and does not clash with your natural eye color.
LaCheryl H. writes:
⭐️⭐️⭐️
“They dry my eyes. I also where different contacts in left and right. They give me a different look.”
Michelle S. adds:
Brown eyes? DON’T BUY! ⭐️
“If you have brown/hazel eyes, don’t bother with either the mystic green or mystic blue contacts. I bought a box of both and only tried (1) pair on, and neither made any difference. I am so disappointed in the product, the description, and the fact that I cannot return either because the boxes have been opened. It’s a waste of money, totally.”
Hilda T. also wasn’t a fan:
Not good ⭐️
“The color was hazy instead of Hazel. They did not fit well and did not look good.”
Charlotte C., on the other hand, raved about the contacts:
Beautiful eyes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I love my color contacts. They look so natural. I receive compliments from people thinking my hazel eyes is what I was born with. I just smile ?? and thank them. I will be ordering again when my supply gets low.”

AIR OPTIX Colors
Air Optix Colors Contact Lenses
AIR OPTIX Colors is Alcon’s monthly color lens line. It offers 12 color options compared to DAILIES COLORS’ four options. Because it’s part of the AIR OPTIX family, it boasts superior breathability and comfort.
What Verified AIR OPTIX Colors Purchasers Say
Most of our verified buyers seem to be very happy with their AIR OPTIX Colors. They love the color options. The few complaints are about the fit and feel of the lenses.
Nicole N. says:
Worth it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“They’re colored contacts, so they will be more drying and heavy on the eye but these are hands down the lightest feel when it comes to colored contacts. I’ve been using them for over 10 years, not worn daily, only on occasion (few times a month). After several hours of wear, I do feel my vision starting to blur a bit. The colors without an adjective in front of them are more natural (for example blue will pull out more natural brown tones in your eye than brilliant blue, looking less fake). I got gray this time, I’ll never go back to blue, I love these! A bit pricey, I was paying less through my eye doctor but this is more convenient and quicker order processing.”
Adriana S. also shared that she gets lots of compliments on these contacts:
Very comfortable and GORGEOUS color!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I have been wearing these contacts for years and am still absolutely in love with them! Very comfortable and I get so many compliments on the color. Sterling Silver over brown eyes (they almost look blue though)”
Roxy H. doesn’t like these contacts, though:
Not for everyone ⭐️
“They are very uncomfortable, and move when I blink. In addition, I cannot see when I have them on. I ended up Buying a different brand and they have been working great.”

Total 1 is #1! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Total 1 are the best contacts I have ever worn. I have been wearing contacts since 7th grade. I am 59. These contacts are exceptionally comfortable. I frequently forget I have them in. I have taken naps with them in and have no dryness issues afterward. It is just a bit weird just throwing them away at the end of the day after years of being careful not to lose one!”
However, Jessica T. didn’t love these contacts:
⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Still looking for the perfect contacts for dry eye! These are okay but I hope to find better.”

Alyssa H. is in the ‘loving them’ camp:
Easy and fast! Love these contacts ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“These are great contacts (extremely light weight in and moisturizing) and the process was super easy with very fast shipping even with free shipping! Will order again!”
Jennifer D. is also a big fan:
Almost gave up on contacts until these! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I’m new to using contacts but my first experience with softmeds from America’s best was terrible. I almost gave up trying to use contacts because the others were too soft and flimsy. They would fold over and rip so easily.
So far, I have had no issues at all with these Total 30 contacts. Thank you EXZ contacts for making it so easy for me to give contacts another try!”
Hend M. is another fan:
Great contact lenses and service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I like this brand name for monthly wear. It has an appropriate moisture content that won’t dry the eyes. It was recommended by my eye doctor. The ezcontacts service was great. I received the package on time with a contact case included in the package which was a great bonus.”
However, Kudos didn’t like these contacts:
⭐️
“Worst lenses ever! These were recommended by my Optometrist over Air Optic that I have been using over several years. He said they are comparatively cheap and great to wear. It’s been 5 days since I am wearing them and I found them so thin that they fold easily. I feel my eyes drying out within 3-4 hours of wear and it’s hard to get them to stick to the eye. Going back to Air Optic.“
