This newest addition to Alcon’s contact lens portfolio offers a unique combination of technologies that support long-lasting lens surface moisture and outstanding comfort to provide astigmatic patients a consistently stable lens-wearing experience. Alcon reports the following features for the contact lenses:

  • Proprietary HydraGlyde® Moisture Matrix for long-lasting lens surface moisture
