AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde Contact Lenses
Air Optix plus HydraGlyde are innovative monthly
contact lenses by # and are a newly improved version of Air Optix Aqua. They are
intended to correct spherical eye defects and are suitable for continuous wear,
thanks to their improved oxygen permeability. These lenses are made from a
silicone-hydrogel material and feature a light blue tint for easier handling.
Air Optix plus HydraGlyde are sold in a package of 6 lenses. We
also offer a smaller package of Air Optix plus Hydraglyde contact
lenses.
Moisture Matrix technology
Alcon’s patented Moisture Matrix technology helps
the lenses attract and retain moisture. This added moisture creates a protective
layer that keeps the lenses hydrated throughout the day, and for the duration of
monthly wear.
SmartShield technology
Additionally, Air Optix plus HydraGlyde lenses
feature Alcon’s SmartShield technology, which also helps maintain optimal
moisture. SmartShield technology helps reduce lipid and other deposits on the
lenses, keeping them clean and comfortable throughout the wearing period.
Contact lenses designed for extended wear
Air Optix plus HydraGlyde may be worn without
removing for up to 6 nights. It’s important to follow your optician’s advice
regarding this type of wear, as it is not suitable for everyone.
Regarding the
oxygen permeability of these lenses, are you concerned about the difference
between values indicated on our website and those on the box? No worries, they
are completely the same! On our website, we use an industry-standard number
showing oxygen permeability in relation to thickness of the lens -- shown as
(Dk/t). This is a value calculated by dividing the oxygen permeability of the
lens (Dk) by the thickness of the lens (t). Most manufacturers provide a (Dk/t),
which is why we've chosen to use it for all our products. However, your box of
lenses may only show the (Dk) value. This just means that your box is showing
the base value. It also means that there is, in fact, no difference between the
number we show and the one that's on your box.
