HydraGlyde is a wetting agent designed to attract moisture to the surface of the lens, to retain hydration and reduce the feeling of dry and gritty eyes.
Air Optix plus HydraGlyde can be worn for 30 consecutive days as daily wear lenses, however, they should only be worn for 16 hours at a time and must be removed before sleeping.
Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde can be worn as extended wear contact lenses if approved by your optician. If your eye care professional agrees that they can be worn as extended-wear contact lenses, then you can sleep while wearing these lenses for up to 6 nights.
Although Air Optix plus HydraGlyde and Air Optix Aqua are the same lenses, the main difference is the technology they use. Air Optix HydraGlyde uses HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix technology, while Air Optix Aqua uses an Aqua Moisture System. HydraGlyde lens caters to a broader power range and has more advanced technologies such as SmartShield.
