Product Description
Created by Alcon & Ciba Vision, Air Optix plus HydraGlyde are monthly contact lenses made with HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix technology to keep eyes hydrated. This coupled with silicone hydrogel makes these lenses ideal for those who struggle with dry eyes or require a monthly lens that gives them protection from irritants and deposits.
Benefits of Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde
These silicone hydrogel contact lenses are a part of the Air Optix range, which offers enhanced comfort due to the inclusion of HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix technology. This technology keeps your contact lenses moist and comfortable to wear for longer periods.
The long-lasting hydration provided by these lenses makes them ideal for those who experience dry eyes as a result of spending long hours in front of a computer screen. When combined with the highly breathable silicone hydrogel material of these lenses, this technology makes sure your eyes are fresh and healthy all day long.
SmartShield technology
SmartShield technology provides a protective layer, making Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde lenses ultra-resistant to any build-up of deposits or dirt, keeping vision undisturbed and eyes free from irritation.
A hygienic and convenient solution
As a monthly contact lens, Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde can be worn for up to 30 days, provided that an appropriate contact lens hygiene routine is followed.

How many hours can you wear Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde?

Can I sleep with Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde lenses in?
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.
What is the difference between HydraGlyde and Aqua?
Although Air Optix plus HydraGlyde and Air Optix Aqua are the same lenses, the main difference is the technology they use.
