How do Alcon multifocal contact lenses work?

Why are there two different box designs for my DAILIES TOTAL1® Multifocal contacts?
Alcon has recently introduced a new package design for DAILIES TOTAL1® Multifocal contacts. Although the box may look different, they’re the same great daily disposable contact lenses that you know and love.
I have boxes of DAILIES TOTAL1® Multifocal with the gold design and some without. Do I need to return these to my doctor and exchange for all the same packaging?
No, you do not need to return these to your doctor. The contact lenses inside both boxes are the same. The only difference is the new gold design on the outer box.
Are the DAILIES TOTAL1® Multifocal contact lenses inside the original box still good?
Yes, as long as the contact lenses are not expired. To confirm, you should always check the expiration date on the box, which indicates when they will expire.
Is there any difference between the lenses in the new gold box and the lenses in the original DAILIES TOTAL1® Multifocal box?
Alcon has updated the packaging design for DAILIES TOTAL1® Multifocal lenses to a fresh new look. The packaging is being updated as lenses are available, so during this transition you may receive both versions of the packaging. Rest assured, nothing has changed with the Alcon contact lenses themselves. The packaging has a new look, but inside, you will find the same great daily disposable contact lenses.
