HydraGlyde® Moisture Matrix

One of the key features of AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde is HydraGlyde® Moisture Matrix.

The technology is designed to help maintain lens surface moisture throughout the day. By supporting hydration at the lens surface, it is intended to contribute to a comfortable wearing experience during the recommended wearing period.

Moisture retention can be particularly relevant for contact lens wearers because environmental factors such as air conditioning, heating and prolonged screen use can contribute to changes in the eye's tear film.

Individual comfort can vary, however, and lens technology does not guarantee that a particular lens will be suitable for every wearer.

SmartShield® Technology

AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde also features SmartShield® Technology.

SmartShield® Technology creates an ultra-thin protective layer over the lens surface. The design helps make the surface more resistant to the accumulation of certain deposits that can build up on reusable contact lenses during wear.

Reducing surface deposits can help maintain the lens's surface characteristics throughout its intended replacement cycle.

Because AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde is a reusable lens, appropriate cleaning and disinfection remain essential even with surface-treatment technology.

Monthly Replacement Schedule

AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde is designed for daily wear with monthly replacement.

The lenses are removed at the end of the wearing period, cleaned and disinfected using an appropriate contact lens solution, and stored correctly for the next wearing day.

Each lens should be replaced according to the recommended monthly schedule, even if it appears to remain in good condition.

Following the correct replacement schedule helps maintain the intended performance and hygiene of reusable contact lenses.

How Long Does an AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde 6 Pack Last?

The pack contains six individual contact lenses.

For a wearer using lenses in both eyes:

  • 6 lenses = approximately 3 months of lens supply.

  • Each pair is used for approximately one month.

For a wearer using a lens in one eye:

  • 6 lenses = up to 6 months of lens supply.

The actual duration depends on whether lenses are required for one or both eyes and the individual's wearing schedule.

Who Are AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde Lenses Suitable For?

AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde may be suitable for contact lens wearers who:

  • Prefer a monthly replacement schedule.

  • Have been prescribed reusable contact lenses.

  • Want a silicone hydrogel lens.

  • Are looking for a lens featuring HydraGlyde® Moisture Matrix.

  • Want a lens featuring SmartShield® Technology.

  • Prefer reusable lenses rather than daily disposable lenses.

  • Are comfortable following a regular cleaning and disinfection routine.

  • Have been professionally fitted for AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde.

An optometrist or qualified eye-care professional should determine whether the lens is appropriate for your eyes, prescription, lens fit and individual wearing requirements.

AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde vs DAILIES TOTAL1

Both products are manufactured by Alcon and incorporate advanced lens technologies, but they are designed for different replacement schedules.

AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde is a reusable monthly silicone hydrogel lens, while DAILIES TOTAL1 is a daily disposable silicone hydrogel lens.

Feature AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde DAILIES TOTAL1
Lens Type Monthly reusable Daily disposable
Material lotrafilcon B delefilcon A
Material Type Silicone hydrogel Silicone hydrogel
Water Content 33% 33% core, increasing toward surface

The two lenses have different materials, designs and replacement schedules. A daily disposable lens should not be substituted for a reusable monthly lens without professional guidance.

AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde vs Conventional Hydrogel Lenses

AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde uses a silicone hydrogel material rather than a conventional hydrogel material.

Silicone hydrogel lenses are designed to provide higher oxygen transmissibility than many traditional hydrogel lenses. AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde combines this material with HydraGlyde® Moisture Matrix and SmartShield® Technology.

However, oxygen transmissibility and lens technology are only some of the factors considered when selecting a contact lens. Lens fit, prescription, eye health, wearing environment and individual comfort are also important.

How to Care for AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde

Because AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde is a reusable monthly lens, proper lens care is essential.

  1. Wash and dry your hands before handling the lenses.

  2. Remove the lenses after daily wear.

  3. Clean and disinfect them using the contact lens solution recommended by your eye-care professional.

  4. Store the lenses in fresh solution inside a clean lens case.

  5. Replace the lens case according to the instructions for your lens-care system.

  6. Replace each lens after its recommended monthly replacement period.

  7. Never use tap water or saliva to clean or store contact lenses.

  8. Do not wear a lens that is damaged or causes persistent discomfort.

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for the lens and your recommended lens-care solution.

Can You Sleep in AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde?

AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde is designed for daily wear with monthly replacement.

Do not sleep in the lenses unless your eye-care professional has specifically determined that overnight wear is appropriate for you.

Sleeping in contact lenses without professional approval can increase the risk of contact-lens-related eye complications.
