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.
