Two Unique Technologies
SmartShield® Technology helps provide excellent overall cholesterol deposit resistance throughout the lens4-7
SmartShield® Technology creates an ultra-thin protective layer to:
- Minimise the exposed silicone on the lens surface10
- Protect lenses from irritating deposits4-7
- Protect from everyday use of cosmetics, hand creams and makeup removers11,12
SmartShield® Technology designed to help provide excellent cholesterol deposit resistance throughout the lens.4-7,18
*Overall excellent cholesterol deposit resistance of AIR OPTIX™ plus Hydraglyde™ contact lenses, as compared to ACUVUE^ OASYS^ Lenses, PureVision^ lenses, Biofinity^ lenses and Avaira^ lenses, lenses worn daily for the manufacturer-recommended replacement period. CLEAR CARE® PLUS Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution used for cleaning and disinfection. all differences between AIR OPTIX™ plus Hydraglyde™ contact lenses and competitive brands statistically significant (p<0.05).
^Trademarks are the property of their respective owners
HydraGlyde™ Moisture Matrix Technology surrounds lenses in long-lasting surface moisture to help keep the lens surface hydrated9,14
*Based on an in vitro study wherein lens wettability was measured over time using the iDDrop System (p<0.01).

Precision Balance 8|4® Design is engineered to work with the eyes’ blinking mechanism, to keep lenses stabilised8*
Rotational stability in around 30 seconds17
Scribe marks at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock
designed for flexible lens observation at multiple angles to ensure a precise fit8*
5° of oscillation or less†
with blink for consistent visual acuity8*
Wide optic zone
designed to provide good visual acuity8*
Unique Precision Balance 8/4® lens design
provides stability throughout 30 days of wear, a comfortable fit under the eyelid, and maximised Dk/t at 6 o’clock*
*Based on clinical studies with AIR OPTIX™ for Astigmatism contact lenses.
*In a randomised subject-masked, multi-site clinical study with over 150 patients
In a randomised, subject-masked clinical study at 11 sites with 83 subjects (116 eyes)
†In 98% of patients at one month follow up
