Give your 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.
†Based on a ProVoice Survey of ECPs from January 2019 - December 2019.
Comfort. Vision. Value.
Patients rated AIR OPTIX® plus HydraGlyde® a 9 out of 10 on initial insertion comfort4,5†
In a separate survey, 4x more patients preferred AIR OPTIX® plus HydraGlyde® over their previous two-week or monthly replacement lenses6*
*While using AOSEPT PLUS® or OPTI-FREE® PureMoist® for daily cleaning and disinfection.
†Based on average subjective rating on a scale of 1 (Poor) to 10 (Excellent) from a clinical trial of habitual AIR OPTIX AQUA contact lens wearers using AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde to determine on-eye performance (n=45)
SmartShield® Technology creates an ultra-thin protective layer to:
- Minimize the exposed silicone on the lens surface10
- Protect lenses from irritating deposits all month long7-9
- Protect from everyday use of cosmetics, hand creams and makeup removers12-14
SmartShield® Technology designed to help provide excellent overall cholesterol deposit resistance throughout the lens.4,7-9,19
*Overall excellent cholesterol deposit resistance of AIR OPTIX™ plus Hydraglyde™ contact lenses, as compared to ACUVUE^ OASYS^ Lenses, PureVision^ lenses, Biofinity^ lenses and Avaira^ lenses, lenses worn daily for the manufacturer-recommended replacement period. AOSEPT PLUS® Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution used for cleaning and disinfection. All differences between AIR OPTIX™ plus Hydraglyde™ contact lenses and competitive brands statistically significant.
