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.5
Innovative Precision Profile® Design created for predictable, seamless vision5
Smooth progression of power gradients for clear, uninterrupted vision from near, to intermediate, to distance
Center-near design works synergistically with the eye’s natural pupillary function.3
- Unique optical zone size optimized for a wide range of pupil sizes
- Improve near vision without compromising distance
Two Unique Technologies
SmartShield® Technology creates an ultra-thin protective layer to:
- Minimize the exposed silicone
- Protect lenses from irritating deposits all month long
- Support a stable tear film and maintain wettability
SmartShield® Technology helps deliver superior overall lipid deposit resistance throughout the lens.4,7-9
HydraGlyde® Moisture Matrix Technology 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 AOSEPT® PLUS with HydraGlyde® or OPTI-FREE® Puremoist®
