Can Air Optix Colors be worn by people with astigmatism?

Air Optix Colors lenses aren't made to address astigmatism specifically, which would require toric lenses. You can get them in spherical prescriptions (for myopia or hyperopia) or without a lens strength (purely for aesthetic reasons).

How long can I wear Air Optix Colors contact lenses for?

Air Optix Colors contact lenses are designed to be thrown out and replaced monthly. This means you can wear them for up to 30 days if taking them out every night for a good clean and disinfection. Keep in mind, the exact wear time may vary depending on the health of your eyes and your eye doctor's advice. It's important to follow their guidelines to keep your eyes at their best. Always start the month with a fresh pair of lenses.

Are Air Optix Colors lenses safe for overnight wear?

Air Optix Colors contact lenses aren't designed for overnight use. They're intended for day-to-day wear and need to be removed, cleaned, and sanitized each evening. This gives your eyes a rest and helps dodge potential issues that can come with round-the-clock wear, like corneal neovascularization (when new blood vessels grow into the cornea) and a higher chance of eye infections. Leaving your contacts in when you sleep can seriously up the odds of severe irritation since the environment of a closed eyelid can trap bacteria and limit the flow of oxygen to the cornea. It's vital to always stick to the guidance from your eye doctor to use your contacts safely.

Are Air Optix Colors lenses suitable for people with sensitive eyes?

Air Optix Colors lenses are crafted with your comfort as the top priority, using a special material that lets up to 5 times more oxygen pass through the lens compared to traditional soft lenses. This high level of breathability aids in keeping your eyes healthy and looking bright. Additionally, these lenses have a slick surface specifically engineered to keep out deposits and hold onto moisture.

But if you've got sensitive eyes, it's crucial to have a chat with your eye doctor before deciding if these are a good lens for you. Everyone's eyes are unique, and what's perfect for one person might not be the best fit for another. Your eye doctor can evaluate your particular needs and help figure out if Air Optix Colors lenses are a good match for your sensitive eyes.

Do I need a prescription to purchase Air Optix Colors contact lenses?

Yes, you'll need a prescription to buy Air Optix Colors contact lenses, even if you don't require vision correction. That's because contact lenses are classified as medical devices and need to be properly fitted to guarantee your eye health and comfort. Your eye doctor will evaluate the health of your eyes and take accurate measurements to figure out the right size and curve of the lenses you need.

That said, Air Optix Colors lenses are available in Plano form, which doesn't offer vision correction. They're strictly for aesthetic use, like changing your eye color. Even though they don't correct vision, you'll still need a valid contact lens prescription to buy them to ensure they fit your eyes correctly.

How do Air Optix Colors enhance or change the eye color?

Air Optix Colors contact lenses use an exclusive 3-in-1 color technology that enrich or modify your eye color. This tech merges an outer ring that sharpens the iris's edges, a main color that covers the iris, and an inner ring that brightens and adds dimension.

These lenses are designed to meld with your natural eye color, resulting in a convincing and understated enhancement. For a bolder transformation, you can pick from an assortment of vivid colors that dramatically change your eye color. No matter what color you opt for, the 3-in-1 color technology guarantees a stunning and natural look.

Can Air Optix Colors lenses be used by people who do not require vision correction?

Yes, those who don't need vision correction can still use Air Optix Colors lenses. These lenses come in Plano form, which means they don't correct vision and are worn strictly for aesthetic reasons, like changing your eye color. But remember, even if you don't require vision correction, you'll still need a legitimate contact lens prescription from an eye doctor to buy Air Optix Colors lenses. This ensures the lenses fit just right and are safe for your eyes.

What is the proper care and maintenance for Air Optix Colors lenses?

Air Optix Colors are monthly disposable lenses, so they need regular care and maintenance to keep your eyes healthy. Here are some basic steps for proper care:

1. Daily Cleaning and Disinfection: After removing the lenses, clean them using a recommended contact lens solution. Gently rub the lens in the solution in the palm of your hand, rinse thoroughly, then place them in a clean lens case filled with fresh solution to disinfect overnight.
2. Storage: Store your lenses in a clean lens case with fresh contact lens solution. Never reuse or top off old solutions. Replace the lens case every three months, or sooner if it becomes damaged or dirty.
3. Replacement Schedule: Dispose of your lenses after 30 days of opening the pack, even if you haven’t worn them every day.
4. Hand Hygiene: Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and dry them with a lint-free towel before handling your lenses.
5. Regular Eye Exams: Schedule regular appointments with your eye care professional to ensure your eyes remain healthy.
6. Remember, always follow the specific instructions given by your eye care professional and the manufacturer of your contact lens solution. Not all products are the same, and some solutions may not be compatible with certain types of lenses.

Are there any potential side effects or risks of wearing Air Optix Colors?

Air Optix Colors lenses, like any contact lenses, are generally safe for use when used properly and under the guidance of an eye care professional. However, as with any contact lens use, there are some potential side effects or risks which are typically minimal and manageable. These include:

1. Eye Discomfort: You may experience some discomfort, dryness, or itchiness, especially if the lenses are worn for longer than recommended, or if your eyes are not given enough breaks from lens wear.
2. Infection or inflammation: Improper cleaning or overuse of the lenses can lead to infections or inflammation.
3. Allergic Reactions: Some people might experience an allergic reaction to the lens material or to the lens care solution.
4. Vision Changes: If the lenses do not fit properly, or if they are damaged, it can lead to blurry vision or other changes.

While these are potential side effects, most people who use contact lenses do not experience serious problems. It's important to follow the proper cleaning, disinfecting, and replacement procedures, as well as the instructions from your eye care professional, to minimize any potential risks. Always consult your eye care professional if you experience persistent discomfort or any changes in your vision.

What material are Air Optix Colors contact lenses made of?

Air Optix Colors contact lenses are made from a material called Lotrafilcon B. This is a variety of silicone hydrogel, a material that permits a much greater amount of oxygen to get to the eye compared to conventional soft contact lens materials. This enhanced breathability aids in keeping your eyes looking bright and healthy. Also, these lenses feature a sleek surface engineered to ward off deposits, ensuring comfort all month long.

What what makes AIR OPTIX® COLORS contact lenses unique?

They feature 3-in-1 Color Technology, which combines three different colors to mimic the natural appearance of the iris, creating a subtle and natural look.

Can AIR OPTIX® COLORS be shared?

No, sharing contact lenses can lead to serious eye health problems. Each set of AIR OPTIX® COLORS lenses should only be worn by the individual to whom they are prescribed. Sharing lenses can spread infections and other eye conditions, leading to severe complications. Eye care professionals stress the importance of personalized use to maintain eye health and hygiene.

How do I know if AIR OPTIX® COLORS lenses are suited for me?

Consult with your eye care professional to determine if AIR OPTIX® COLORS lenses are suitable for you. These lenses cater to individuals who wish to enhance or transform their natural eye color while needing corrective or non-corrective options. However, if you have astigmatism, you may need to look for other lens options that cater to this specific condition.

What should I do if I experience discomfort while wearing AIR OPTIX® COLORS lenses?

If you experience discomfort, mild burning, or stinging while wearing AIR OPTIX® COLORS lenses, remove them immediately and consult your eye care professional. Addressing these symptoms promptly can prevent more severe complications. Follow the provided guidelines for proper wear and care to minimize these risks.
