Product Description

Overview

Air Optix HydraGlyde Multifocal 6 Pack is the perfect option if you have presbyopia and looking for the right contact lens for your eyes. Thanks to their multifocal design, they provide clear distance, intermediate, and near vision for everyday use.

Moreover, with the implemented state-of-the-art technologies, Air Optix lenses will deliver comfort, as well as clarity during the whole day.


Key Features

  • HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix: This feature helps to keep the lenses hydrated, so your eyes stay comfortable from morning till night.
  • Precision-Profile Design: This design allows for smooth changes between different ranges of vision, making it easier to switch focus from near to far.
  • SmartShield Technology: It protects the lens from irritating deposits, and this is why they remain clear and comfortable throughout the month.
  • Lotrafilcon B Material: Made of silicone hydrogel, these lenses allow high oxygen flow to the eyes, which helps to maintain eye health.
  • Extended Wear Option: These lenses can be worn up to six nights continuously, so they offer flexibility for those with changing schedules.

Replacement Schedule

These multifocal lenses are monthly replacement contacts and can be worn continuously every day for up to 30 days before disposal.

Each month, you get a fresh pair of lenses, which helps to lower your chances of developing an eye infection, and also makes sure that your eyes stay comfortable.

People who need to wear them extensively for a few weeks can do so, as they can be worn for up to six nights continuously.

Lotrafilcon B

Lotrafilcon B, the silicone hydrogel material of which these lenses are made, has a very high oxygen transmissibility, meaning more oxygen is allowed to reach the cornea – a key to maintaining good eye surface health and comfort.

With water content of 33%, they will keep their moisture and feel comfortable all day.

Precision-Profile Design

The Precision-Profile design of these multifocal lenses from Air Optix blends a progression of prescription strengths across the lens for a smooth transition between near, intermediate and far distances that is excellent for presbyopia coverage.

This design also helps reduce the need for additional eyewear. Reading, computer use or driving will be much more comfortable for you because now you can see it all at the distance that is best.

The centre-near design in the Air Optix HydraGlyde lens is optimised for various pupil sizes and will provide consistent and clear vision.

SmartShield Technology

SmartShield Technology forms a thin protective layer over the lens surface, creating a strong resistance to natural lipids and external contaminants such as make-up, preventing build-up over time, keeping your lenses smooth and clean for the whole month of wear.

For example, if you use any beauty products around your eyes, this technology helps to minimize the likelihood that deposits will affect your vision clarity and performance.

On the other hand, if you have an active lifestyle where your daily routine involves walking in the rain or snow, or sweating at the gym, you will feel the peace of mind knowing that your lenses properties have been preserved by the protective layer, keeping them clear for a comfortable and uninterrupted wear.

HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix

The HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix acts as a magnet, attracting and holding moisture on the lens surface, keeping your eyes moist.

If you have dry eyes or routinely spend long hours in an air-conditioned office or airplane, ongoing hydration is good news. As a result of this feature, these lenses are comfortable to wear throughout the day without becoming dry and irritating.

Lifestyle Suitability

From office workers to travellers to people who lead hectic lives, Air Optix HydraGlyde Multifocal lenses are designed to fit multiple lifestyles.

  • Office workers will benefit from greater comfort when it comes to seeing at various distances to reduce eye strain.
  • Travellers will love the extended wear feature and not having to take them out while on the road.
  • Those who lead hectic lives will enjoy the monthly replacement feature.

What technology is used to keep the lenses hydrated?

The lenses uses HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix technology to keep the lenses moist and comfortable throughout the day. It attracts and retains moisture, keeping the lenses hydrated for a long time.

Is there a risk of eye problems with extended wear?

Unless you’ve been given the green light for extended wear, wearing your lenses overnight significantly increases the risk of serious eye problems, including corneal ulcers. Be sure to follow any instructions you’re given to avoid ‑ and treat ‑ possible problems. If your lenses are uncomfortable, if you have mild burning or stinging, or if you develop itchy, watery eyes, take out your lenses and contact your eye professional.

What makes the Precision-Profile Design unique?

Precision-Profile combines multiple levels of prescription on a single lens through a bi-aspheric surface; an adaptive minus power profile; and a centre-near design, so that at multiple distances your eyes can access the full value of your prescription. So, what’s the takeaway? Presbyopia.

Product Review

Air Optix HydraGlyde Multifocal 6 Pack Professional Review

Pros

  • Precision Profile™ Design allows you to see clearly at all distances, whether you want to see up close or far away.
  • Long-lasting hydration with HydraGlyde® Moisture Matrix keeps the eyes moist and reduces dryness throughout the day. 
  • Enhanced comfort from SmartShield® Technology protects the lenses from irritating deposits and allergens.
  • High oxygen permeability helps keep the eyes healthier by allowing more oxygen to reach the cornea and decrease the amount of dryness and irritation.

Cons

  • High cost relative to some other multifocal lenses, which is a potential concern for cost-conscious consumers. 
  • Lack of UV blocking is a big negative for people concerned about extra eye protection. 
  • Wearing the lenses for prolonged periods can lead to complications such as corneal ulcers, particularly if personal hygiene is not maintained or appropriate care is not taken.
  • May be initially uncomfortable to use, but this is something that users usually get used to in just a few days.

If you are presbyopic, the Air Optix HydraGlyde Multifocal 6 Pack stretches your budget and delivers clear vision at every distance. These lenses have an architecture and material that combine the latest comfort and hydration technologies to make them one of our top choices for any multifocal soft contact lens. They are the ultimate expression of Alcon's unassailable line of soft contact lenses.

We tested these lenses with several individuals who have presbyopia. We have a few words of advice, as well as some tips on alternative uses, in this review. We will take an in-depth look at these lenses, and talk about things such as their benefits and drawbacks, the material they are made of, their hydration technology, whether they protect from UV rays, what you can use them for, and how comfortable they are.


Material

These multifocal lenses are made of Lotrafilcon B – a silicone hydrogel material with high oxygen permeability.

That means that it allows a high-level of oxygen to flow to the eye to prevent hypoxia (which could cause damage to the eye) and make them conform to the eye surface for good optical performance.

Also, their breathable feature makes them suitable for extended wear. The material is highly durable, making the lenses comfortable and reliable for use over time, even when worn often.


Hydration

Using two new technologies in lens hydration – HydraGlyde® Moisture Matrix and SmartShield & Technology – they help keep lenses hydrated longer.

HydraGlyde® Moisture Matrix is an exclusive proprietary technology that is a coating that keeps lenses hydrated by drawing surface moisture, while SmartShield & Technology is a thin silicone hydrogel coating that prevents deposit buildup.

These two new hydration technologies work together to fight dryness, which can be very helpful for dry eye sufferers or people who work in extremely dry environments.


UV Blocking

Bad news on this category though: the Air Optix HydraGlyde Multifocal lenses don't block UV rays. This omits any UV blocking from this pair.

Without UV blocking, your eyes remain vulnerable to harmful UV rays, and you'll need extra sunglasses or another kind of lens to block it.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology suggests that prolonged UV exposure can cause eye health problems such as cataracts and macular degeneration. Additional steps, such as wearing UV protective sunglasses, are necessary to avoid eye damage.


Usage

Designed for either daily wear or continuous wear, these lenses can be worn every day for up to 30 days or seven nights and six days in a row.

For those who don't like the idea of removing their lenses daily and want to wear them all the time, continuous wear may be an option.

But that doesn't mean that you can wear them nonstop. Keep in mind that continuous wear is different from extended wear and may be inappropriate for certain individuals.

If you are thinking about continuous wear, talk to your eye care practitioner to find out whether this is okay for you and how you can protect your eyes while wearing soft contact lenses. Your practitioner will want to make sure that you return for regular follow-ups to monitor your eye health and make certain soft contacts aren't damaging your eyes.


Comfort

Add to that the comfort, from day one to day 30, created by Alcon's SmartShield Technology and HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix, and you have a great choice if you need a daily disposable multifocal.

SmartShield Technology creates an ultra-thin protective layer on the lens to prevent deposition of irritating substances.

On the other hand, HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix helps keep the lens hydrated for a smooth, comfortable lens wear experience.

Clinical studies have shown that lenses with SmartShield Technology stay cleaner and contain less lipid deposits than comparable daily disposable lenses. All of these features support a comfortable wearing experience,.


Air Optix HydraGlyde Multifocal 6 Pack

Our Final Recommendation

Advanced hydration technologies, high oxygen permeability and effective multi-focal correction all work together to make the Air Optix HydraGlyde Multifocal 6 Pack a fantastic option for clear vision and comfortable use - for a long time.

But you'll have to pay a little extra for them, and UV protection is certainly not one of their strong suits. So, if you need reliable, comfortable multifocal lenses with really good vision, they’re a great choice in spite of those flaws.

But they're also not the best choice for everyone. You need to weigh the pros and cons, and you have to keep your individual needs and lifestyle in mind to make a good decision. Most importantly, use these lenses only when an eye care professional advises it and tells you how to get the best out of them.
