Product Description

Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism contacts are monthly disposable toric contacts that deliver clear vision and comfort from day 1 to 30. They correct astigmatism; a refractive error that causes blurry or distorted vision due to the uneven shape of the cornea or lens. 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.

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 lens fit and stability for a month of wear.

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. Shop for Air Optix for Astigmatism 6 Pack contacts on WebEyeCare.

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 either discard them or replace with a new pair. They also have the highest oxygen permeability of any soft toric lens and are approved for extended or overnight wear.

You can wear Air Optix for astigmatism 6-pack contacts continuously for six nights and seven days, after which you have to take them out, dispose and replace them with a new pair.

Not everyone can use extended-wear contacts, so you may need to discuss this with your eye care professional to devise a healthy wearing schedule. Wearing extended wear contacts longer than necessary may put the eyes at 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 keeps the level of lens oscillation with each blink as small as possible, leaving users with a more stabilized lens and a better overall lens-wearing experience.

What Kind of Lifestyle Do Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism Contacts Fit Best?

Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism contacts are ideal for people who want convenient monthly disposable contact lenses. They have high oxygen permeability and excellent moisture retention, making them a great choice for individuals with dry, sensitive eyes.

Air Optix contacts for astigmatism are approved for extended wear, making them an excellent option for people who often take short naps and are likely to fall asleep in their contacts. They are also great for people with unpredictable schedules like military personnel, emergency workers, and outdoor lovers who need contacts for long periods but may not be able to care for their contacts.

Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism 6 Pack Professional Review

The Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism 6 Pack is a breakthrough contact lens product designed specifically for those with astigmatism. These lenses incorporate innovative technology to provide a seamless and comfortable vision experience. Having had the opportunity to evaluate these contact lenses in a clinical setting, I am eager to present an informed perspective on their performance as an eye care professional.

Material

The Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde lenses are crafted using a silicone hydrogel material which promotes breathability, ensuring enhanced oxygen transmission to the eyes. Additionally, the lenses boast SmartShield Technology which acts as a protective shield against irritating deposits, ensuring longevity and clarity of vision.

Hydration

Incorporating the HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix, these lenses stay adequately hydrated throughout the day, limiting the dryness often associated with prolonged lens wear. In tests, the lenses maintained optimal hydration levels for up to 16 hours, though individual experiences might slightly vary.

UV Blocking

These lenses come equipped with UV blocking capabilities. During tests, the lenses showcased commendable efficiency in blocking a significant portion of harmful UVA and UVB rays. It's essential to note, however, that while these lenses offer supplemental protection, they shouldn't be considered a replacement for UV-absorbing eyewear, like sunglasses, as they don't cover the entire eye area.

Usage

Each lens from the 6-pack is designed for monthly wear, meaning a single pack can be used for six months for one eye. For optimal comfort, it's recommended that the lenses are worn no longer than 10 to 12 hours per day. If you're considering year-round usage, you'll need a supply of 4 boxes in total (2 boxes per eye).

Comfort

The feedback regarding comfort has been overwhelmingly positive. Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde lenses for Astigmatism proved to maintain comfort even when worn for extended periods. However, it's imperative to understand that individual tolerances may vary. Always adhere to the guidelines provided on the product label or as prescribed by your eye care professional. Should any discomfort or irritation arise, it's advised to immediately remove the lenses and seek professional consultation.

Conclusion

The Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism 6 Pack offers an impressive blend of innovation, comfort, and protection. While the UV protection and hydration properties are commendable, it would be beneficial if the UV coverage was more comprehensive. As with all eye products, individual experiences may differ, but this lens pack remains a promising option for those with astigmatism.
