Two Unique Technologies
SmartShield® Technology Helps Deliver Superior Overall Cholesterol Deposit Resistance Throughout the Lens4-6
SmartShield® Technology Creates an Ultra-thin Protective Layer to:
- Minimize the exposed silicone on the lens surface6
- Protect lenses from irritating deposits all month long4,5
- Help support a stable tear film and maintain wettability5,6
- AIR OPTIX® plus HydraGlyde® contact lenses with SmartShield® Technology helps resist lens parameter changes from everyday use of cosmetics, hand creams and makeup removers7-9
SmartShield® Technology Helps Deliver Superior Overall Cholesterol Deposit Resistance Throughout the Lens.4-6
*Overall superior 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. CLEAR CARE® PLUS Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution used for cleaning and disinfection. All differences between AIR OPTIX® plus HydraGlyde® contact lenses and competitive brands statistically significant (p<0.05).
HydraGlyde® Moisture Matrix Technology surrounds lenses in long lasting surface moisture to help keep the lens surface hydrated10,11
Retain longer-lasting lens surface moisture after 16 hours of simulated wear.12-14*
*Based on ex vivo iDDrop System testing on TOTAL30® lenses worn 30 days (p<0.05). ACUVUE VITA, ACUVUE OASYS, Biofinity and ULTRA contact lenses tested out of pack. All out of pack lenses were tested in an identical manner, soaked in a PBS (phosphate-buffered saline solution) for 16 hours plus/minus 2 hours (p<0.05).
