Air Optix HydraGlyde for Astigmatism 6 Pack

Product Description

Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism contacts are monthly disposable toric contacts that deliver clear vision and comfort. You can wear Air Optix daily for 30 days or continuously for up to six nights and seven days, after which you should discard and replace them with a new pair.

These lenses correct astigmatism, which is a refractive error that causes blurry or distorted vision due to the uneven shape of the cornea or lens.

Air Optix for Astigmatism combines two innovative technologies for comfort: SmartShield technology, which retains moisture and protects the eye from irritating deposits, and HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix, which attracts and maintains moisture on the eyes throughout the day.

Alcon Air Optix for Astigmatism also features the proprietary Precision Balance 8|4 lens design for improved stability and performance. This design works with the eye’s natural blinking to ensure fit and stability.

Air Optix HydraGlyde for Astigmatism 6 Pack contacts are made from Lotrafilcon B, a soft silicone hydrogel material with high oxygen permeability that keeps the eyes clear, white, and healthy.

Recommended Replacement Schedule for Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism Contacts

Air Optix for Astigmatism contacts are monthly disposable contacts that you can wear daily for 30 days, after which you should discard them and begin using a new pair. These contacts are also approved for continuous wear for up to six nights and seven days before they need to be replaced with a new set of lenses.

Air Optix for Astigmatism contact lenses have the highest oxygen permeability of any soft toric lens and are approved for extended or overnight wear.

Not everyone can use extended-wear contacts, so you may need to discuss this with your eye care professional to evaluate whether extended wear is a good fit for you. Wearing contacts longer than necessary may put you at an increased risk of infections, corneal ulcers, and vision loss.

Extra Features of Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism Contacts

Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism contacts deliver superior comfort and performance with the following features:

SmartShield Technology

SmartShield is Alcon’s proprietary contact lens technology that prevents deposit buildup by covering the outer surface of the lens with a protective layer. This technology creates a surface that allows tears to spread evenly over the lens, promoting moisture retention and shielding the eyes against deposits. SmartShield technology also protects the lens against issues that may arise from the daily use of cosmetics and beauty products.

HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix

HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix is a proprietary wetting technology that attracts and retains moisture in soft contact lenses, especially silicone hydrogel lenses. This technology involves a block copolymer that embeds itself within the lens surface, surrounding the lens with a lasting moisture envelope that ensures all-day hydration.

Precision Balance 8|4 Design

Precision Balance 8|4 is a unique design for toric contacts that works with the eye’s natural blinking mechanism to ensure the lenses’ fit and stability. It uses two anchor points for stabilization and three scribe marks at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock to support correct lens insertion and fitting. This design minimizes the level of lens oscillation with each blink for a more stabilized lens and better overall lens-wearing experience.
