FAQs

    AIR OPTIX™ COLORS are colored contact lenses designed to enhance or transform dark or light eyes, with a completely natural effect, and come with or without vision correction. They are made with exclusive SmartShield® Technology and feature 3-in-1 color technology to blend naturally with the color of your eye, so you can experience a new look that can be subtle or vibrant.

    Yes. Contact lenses are medical devices that should be fitted by an eye care professional, even for people who do not need vision correction. AIR OPTIX™ COLORS Color Studio offers a virtual try-on experience with different color contact lenses available to try on, making it an easy way to find the color that best fits you.

    Both color contact lens brands share the 3-in-1 Color Technology. However, AIR OPTIX™ COLORS contact lenses are made of a silicone hydrogel material that provides advanced breathability.

    Proper contact lens care is important, but not difficult. AIR OPTIX™ COLORS contact lenses should be removed and cleaned daily.

    §Among symptomatic lens wearers, those who at baseline experienced end-of-day discomfort or had to remove their lenses earlier than they wished.
    §§In separate studies, AIR OPTIX® AQUA contact lenses were tested with habitual multi-purpose solution followed by 30 days of use with either OPTI-FREE® PureMoist® Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution or AOSEPT® PLUS with HydraGlyde® Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution. In both studies, comfortable wear time with habitual multi-purpose solution was measured at baseline, and with study solution at Day 30.
