Help new contact lens wearers avoid dryness and discomfort 

Eyeglass only wearers who used to wear contact lenses¹¹

Common reasons for astigmatic consumers to drop out of contact lens wear:¹²

Help your new astigmatic consumers enjoy stable lens wear, ^9‡ deposit resistance ^1,2** and comfort from day 1 to day 30 ^1-4** with AIR OPTIX^® plus HydraGlyde^® for Astigmatism contact lenses.

KEEP YOUR ASTIGMATIC CONSUMERS HAPPY WITH HYDRAGLYDE^® MOISTURE MATRIX

In addition to SmartShield™ Technology, AIR OPTIX^® plus HydraGlyde^® for Astigmatism contact lenses feature the HydraGlyde^® Moisture Matrix for longer-lasting moisture. ^7,8††

How Does HydraGlyde^® Moisture Matrix Work?

• The wetting agent is absorbed by the lens surface.
• The HydraGlyde^® Moisture Matrix interacts with SmartShield™ Technology, creating a hydrophilic environment to help attract and retain moisture. ⁷
• This results in an envelope of longer-lasting moisture at the lens surface. ^7,8††

Give Your Astigmatic Consumers The HydraGlyde^® Advantage

Combine AIR OPTIX^® plus HydraGlyde^® for Astigmatism contact lenses with a HydraGlyde^® lens care solution for even more comfortable wear time.

§Among symptomatic lens wearers, those who at baseline experienced end-of-day discomfort or had to remove their lenses earlier than they wished.
§§In separate studies, AIR OPTIX^® AQUA contact lenses were tested with habitual multipurpose solution followed by 30 days of use with either OPTI-FREE^® PureMoist^® Multipurpose Disinfecting Solution or AOSEPT^® PLUS with HydraGlyde^® Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution. In both studies, comfortable wear time with habitual multipurpose solution was measured at baseline, and with study solution at Day 30.
