Alcon Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde CLs

According to Alcon, SmartShield Technology is a patented, ultra-thin protective shield that helps the lens resist lipid deposits and delivers outstanding wettability.^1-4 It also helps the lens resist changes from everyday cosmetic product use.⁵ HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix is a wetting agent specifically designed for silicone hydrogel lenses that helps attract lens surface moisture and retain lens surface hydration.^3,4 In an in vitro study, Air Optix plus HydraGlyde contact lenses provided longer-lasting wettability after 16 hours, proving its ability to provide lens surface moisture benefits and lens surface hydration.^3,4
