Air Optix Aqua are
breathable silicone hydrogel contact lenses manufactured by Ciba Vision. These
lenses are made with revolutionary Aqua Moisture System a unique
moisture agent that lubricates the lens and minimizes the rate of lens dehydration
for all day ease. The unique molecular structure of these contact lenses allows
water to pass through to the eye without reducing the lens ability to transmit
oxygen. The lens can move freely on the eye and allows plenty of oxygen through
the lens. This means your eyes are better protected from the signs and symptoms
of lack of oxygen - dryness, irritation, end-of-day discomfort and redness.
Lens Material
The lens
material is 33% water and 67% lotrafilcon B, a fluoro-silicone containing
hydrogel which is surface treated.
Lenses contain the color additive phathalocyanine blue, a light blue handling
tint, which helps make them easier to see when handling.
