Eye care company Alcon has announced its launch of the AIR OPTIX® plus HydraGlyde® Multifocal contact lenses. This new addition to Alcon’s multifocal portfolio offers presbyopic patients a unique combination of technologies for seamless vision at all distances, plus enhanced moisture benefits, compared to the AIR OPTIX® AQUA.
AIR OPTIX® plus HydraGlyde® Multifocal contact lenses incorporate Alcon’s industry-leading Precision Profile® Design together with the HydraGlyde® molecule for:
- Clear, seamless vision at all distances, near, intermediate and far
- Lasting lens surface moisture through the HydraGlyde® Moisture Matrix
- Excellent deposit protection and consistent comfort with Alcon’s unique SmartShield® Technology. This unique culmination of technologies gives presbyopic patients and ECPs improved solutions for addressing patients’ needs for clear and comfortable vision
Each lens across the Alcon multifocal portfolio is specifically designed to address the presbyopic eye. DAILIES TOTAL1® Multifocal contact lenses are ideal for patients in search of the ultimate contact lens-wearing experience in a daily disposable modality, while the new AIR OPTIX® plus HydraGlyde® Multifocal contact lenses are recommended for the patient who wants a monthly replacement contact lens. These options allow ECPs an increased flexibility across Alcon’s daily and monthly modality, with the newest contact lens technologies, to best meet the needs of the millions of Americans living with presbyopia.
The new AIR OPTIX® plus HydraGlyde® Multifocal contact lenses will be widely available beginning on October 1, 2018. See the full press release from Alcon.
