AIR OPTIX™ plus HydraGlyde™ Multifocal
Give your presbyopic patients outstanding comfort from day 1 to day 30.1-3
AIR OPTIX™ plus HydraGlyde™ Multifocal contact lenses are designed to provide comfort and seamless vision at all distances, near through far.4,5
Innovative Precision Profile® Design created for predictable, seamless vision4,5
Smooth progression of power gradients for clear, uninterrupted vision from near, to intermediate, to distance4,5
Center-near design works synergistically with the eye’s natural pupillary function.6
- Unique optical zone size optimized for a wide range of pupil sizes6
- Improve near vision without compromising distance4,5
TWO UNIQUE TECHNOLOGIES
SmartShield® Technology creates an ultra-thin protective layer to:
- Minimize the exposed silicone7,8
- Protect lenses from irritating deposits all month long9-11
- Support a stable tear film and maintain wettability9,12
SmartShield® Technology helps deliver superior overall lipid deposit resistance throughout the lens.9-11,13
HydraGlyde® Moisture Matrix surrounds lenses in long-lasting surface moisture to help keep the lens surface hydrated14,15
*Based on in vitro testing on sphere lenses soaked in phosphate-buffered saline solution for 16 hours; n=10 lenses analyzed per brand. + p<0.05 vs. all comparator lenses.
To help your patients get the most from their contact lenses, recommend OPTI-FREE® Puremoist®
