AIR OPTIX™ plus HydraGlyde™ Multifocal

contact lenses are designed to provide comfort and seamless vision at all distances, near through far.1,4,5

 

AIR OPTIX plus Hydraglyde Multifocal

Give your presbyopic patients outstanding comfort from day 1 to day 301-3*

 

 

*Based on a clinical study with AIR OPTIX® AQUA AIR OPTIX® for Astigmatism, and AIR OPTIX® AQUA MULTIFOCAL Contact lenses.

Innovative Precision Profile™ Design created for predictable, seamless vision4

 

Precision profile

Smooth progression of power gradients for clear, uninterrupted vision from near, to intermediate, to distance4

 

Center-near design works synergistically with the eye’s natural pupillary function.3

  • Unique optical zone size optimised for a wide range of pupil sizes
  • Designed to improve near vision without compromising distance
Seeing near to far

Two Unique Technologies

 

SmartShield® Technology creates an ultra-thin protective layer to:

 

  • Minimize the exposed silicone10
  • Protect lenses from irritating deposits all month long7-9
  • Support a stable tear film and maintain wettability

 

SmartShield® Technology helps deliver superior overall lipid deposit resistance throughout the lens.6-8,11,13

HydraGlyde™ Moisture Matrix Technology surrounds lenses in long-lasting surface moisture to help keep the lens surface hydrated13,14

 

Retains longer-lasting lens surface moisture after 16 hours of simulated wear
Mean time to lens surface moisture breakup

To help your patients get the most from their contact lenses, offer AOSEPT PLUS® with HydraGlyde™ and OPTI-FREE® PureMoist®
