Benefits of Air Optix lenses
Air Optix lenses have significantly impacted the eye care industry since 2008, offering unique benefits that set them apart.

Features of Air Optix lenses
Air Optix contact lenses are great for anyone looking to combine comfort with excellent visual acuity. Here's why they might be the right choice for you:
- Silicone hydrogel material: these lenses are made of silicone hydrogel (with non-surface mid water content -55%), which is gentle on the eyes. This material helps to keep your eyes moist and comfortable throughout the day.
- Breathability: Air Optix lenses are designed to let oxygen pass freely through the lens. This breathability helps to keep your eyes healthy, reducing the chances of redness or irritation.
- Multifocal design: the Air Optix Aqua Multifocal lenses have a special design that allows for clear vision at various distances, making them helpful for reading as well as seeing into the distance.
- Resistance to deposits: these lenses are resistant to the build-up of deposits. This means that they stay cleaner for longer, which is good for comfort and eye health.
- Extended wear option: Air Optix Night and Day lenses can be worn for an extended period, even during sleep. This is convenient for those with a busy lifestyle.
- SmartShield technology: it forms a thin protective layer on lenses, reducing exposed silicon atoms. This keeps lenses moist, prevents irritation, maintains comfort, and resists cosmetic product effects, ensuring cleanliness and comfort from day 1 to day 30.
