Air Optix plus HydraGlyde are innovative monthly
contact lenses by Alcon 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 3 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.
