Overview

Avaira Vitality contact lenses are designed to deliver brilliant comfort, moisture, and clear vision to users. These are designed for daily wear and are reliable monthly contact lenses made of high-grade silicone hydrogel, ensuring a healthier and whiter eye for every wear.

Key Features

Monthly Replacement Schedule: Makes it convenient and gives consistent performance for wearers.
High Water Content: Delivers long-lasting all-day comfort and combats dryness.
Silicone Hydrogel Material: Delivers high oxygen transmission for healthy eyes.
UV Protection: Patented Hydroclear technology protects against UVA and UVB ultraviolet radiation
6-Pack Convenience: This 6-pack means you will always have a reserve to continue your usage of the lens.

Replacement Schedule

Avaira Vitality are contact lenses with bi-weekly replacement. Meaning the lens should be replaced after 14 days and should only be removed, cleaned, and stored away daily.

This replacement frequency will aid in hygiene and performance of the lens and is thus very ideal for one who likes a consistent replacement schedule, as the best level of eye health and comfort is maintained.

SiHy Formulation

Avaira Vitality lenses are made of Silicone Hydrogel (SiHy) material that promises high levels of breathability and oxygen permeability. This newer lens material is ideal for wearers who may have had experiences with uncomfortable lenses in the past.

It shines especially well in conditions that could cause lens dryness, such as long days at the office in front of a screen or working in low-humidity environments

Aberration Neutralizing System

Aberration Neutralizing System in Avaira Vitality Lenses is the technology that minimizes common visual imperfections.

This technology presents better visual acuity, which means sharper focus—of ultra-high benefit to those people for whom perfect sight is a primary need, for example to those who drive a lot during nighttime or work on subtle tasks.

What it does is that it corrects optical imperfections to offer clear and candid vision, therefore enhancing the overall visual experience of the user.

UV Protection

These lenses from Avaira feature Class 1 UV protection that will block more than 90% of UVA and greater than 99% of UVB.

A truly significant level of protection, this will enable the eyes to be kept clear of harmful sun rays for those individuals who are very active outdoors and looking to reduce the types of risks that are associated with years of extended exposure.

Lifestyle Suitability

Avaira Vitality lenses fit into many active lifestyle categories:

These are perfect lens brands for the active persons who require consistency in their lenses on a day-to-day basis and undergo little to no discomfort when wearing them for several hours.
The lenses are great for outdoor enthusiasts who need to be protected from high UV rays while out hiking or being active in sports.
The lenses will also give office workers hydration and comfort since they can sit for a long duration before a computer screen.

The brand Avaira Vitality assures comfortable lenses and guarantees well-being for your eyes in every step you take. The lenses, designed with the most innovative silicone hydrogel material, satisfy individual needs, both for near-sightedness and far-sightedness.

Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde 6 Pack FAQ

Air Optix HydraGlyde Plus are monthly use contacts that you can wear for up to 30 days, provided you remove, clean, and store them appropriately after each use. They are also approved for extended wear, and you can wear them continuously for seven days and six nights.

The difference between Air Optix and Air Optix with HydraGlyde is that the latter contains HydraGlyde a new wetting agent that envelops the lens in a moisture matrix for all-day hydration.

Air Optix Aqua and Air Optix HydraGlyde have similar lens designs, but Air Optix with HydraGlyde covers a broader power range and features a HydraGlyde matrix for lasting hydration and improved deposit resistance.

Yes. All Air Optix contacts are monthly disposables designed to remain comfortable from day 1 to 30. They utilize an ultra-smooth surface technology to create a layer of moisture at the surface of the lens, keeping the lens moist and comfortable all month long.

Air Optix HydraGlyde contacts are monthly replacement lenses, meaning you should replace them with a fresh pair once a month. They are also approved for extended wear for up to seven days and six nights.

A block copolymer in HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix ensures that moisture is retained to allow up to 16 hours of comfortable wearing. This is because the lens maintains a consistent hydration level during long workdays or active outings. Block copolymers mesh water molecules together and tether them to the surface of lenses. Water moves with your lenses so the eye’s friction is reduced and comfort is increased.

SmartShield Technology helps reduce deposits and resist changes due to cosmetics by creating a shield just a few nanometres thick. Because the barrier is so thin, it offers multiple benefits. SmartShield resists deposits and shifts due to make-up and daily contaminants such as hand lotions and environmental particles.

Alcon produces the Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde lenses using the silicone hydrogel material Lotrafilcon B. The company Alcon Inc. is the global leader of eye care solutions backed by a heritage of expertise in the field of ophthalmology spanning over 65 years.

Yes, these lenses are FDA-approved for extended wear for up to seven days and six nights, but only with the recommendation and counsel of an eye care professional. You can sleep in them and wake up with clear vision, which are great for those with a demanding or erratic schedule or who regularly travel. Regular doctor’s visits will help to ensure that the lenses are right for you and your lifestyle.

Theselenses correct myopia and hyperopia, as well as the dryness and sensitivities sometimes associated with contact lenses. Included here are daily disposables with a wide range of strengths including a high and ultra-high option. The HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix relieves dryness thanks to its high water content, making it suitable for even the most sensitive eyes.

The risk of serious eye complications, like corneal ulcers, increases with extended wear. Tell your eye care professional whether you plan to wear your lenses occasionally or if you’ll be a daily wearer. You also need regular eye exams to check on the health of your eyes. If you start to see redness, pain or visual defects, remove the lenses immediately and contact your eye doctor.

Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde 6 Pack Professional Review

Pros

Moisture retained for up to 16 hours, resulting in lesser dryness, especially when worn for long periods.
Better oxygen permeability ensures healthier eyes with less redness and itching.
SmartShield Technology prevents deposits so clear vision is maintained.
Can be worn for up to seven days, allowing users to fit this procedure in with their hectic schedules.
A pack price of $54.95 makes it a long-term money saver.

Cons

It must be cleaned and sanitised thoroughly every night.
More expensive than daily lenses and not suitable for those on tight budget.
With prolonged use, the eyes are at greater risk for complications so caution is indicated.
Doesn't have any UV blocking capabilities, which means you need additional eye protection whenever you're outdoors.

Choosing a pair of contact lens can be a bit difficult but if comfort, hydration and breathability are what you are looking for, then the Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde is worth considering. These monthly lens is great for consistent care of your eyes.

Over the past months, we've tested these contact lenses with a range of participants to assess their comfort and performance. In this review, we'll share our findings, and what we learned during those tests, so you can decide if this upgraded version of contact lenses is a fit for you.

Material

Lotrafilcon B is the latest material used in lens manufacture, and it’s a silicone hydrogel material, with a high oxygen permeability, to help your eyes “breathe” – meaning a healthier eye surface, and it’ll stay white!

Also, Lotrafilcon B has a tear-like water content in the lens, and that’s why it’s very comfy. This next-generation material provides the right balance between stiffness and flexibility; this balance means that the lens is less prone to tearing, and will keep the same shape for the full month.

Hydration

Featuring HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix and SmartShield Technology, these lenses offer excellent moisture retention.

HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix is a breakthrough technology that acts like a magnet, trapping moisture on the surface of the lens, keeping the lens moist for up to 16 hours. For instance, working a 10 hour day can lead to dry and uncomfortable eyes, but these lenses are designed to keep you comfortable throughout the day.

And, since eye drops are a necessary distraction for many glasses or contact wearers, Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde can also eliminate that need.

UV Blocking

While many modern lenses come with UV protection, the Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde lenses do not, which can be a major drawback in comparison with its competitors if you spend a lot of time outdoors.

UV radiation has been known to cause a number of serious eye abnormalities over time, so if blocking this kind of radiation is essential, you might be best off looking at alternative lenses as an option.

Alternatively, you could also protect these lenses with UV-blocking sunglasses so they provide adequate protection against damaging rays.

The absence of UV protection means you’ll have to be a bit more careful about adding extra protective measures when you’re spending time out in the sun.

Usage

These lenses are designed to be reused for up to a month or 30 days to be exact. They can be left in for up to seven days and six nights, and worn on a schedule that suits you but should always be cleaned and disinfected once a day.

Take note: lens care routines dramatically lower the chance of infections and make the discomfort much more manageable, which ensures comfort even over long periods of time

Comfort

SmartShield Technology adds a nano-layer of surfacing resistance to the lens that prevents make-up and hand cream deposits from sticking to the lenses.

On top of this, thanks to HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix, these lenses remain comfortable day one through day 30.

Research has proven these lenses have superior cholesterol 'rip-off' for both comfort and clarity.

And of course, the precision of design and high-water-content material means that the lenses feel comfortable upon insertion into the eye and stay comfortable throughout the day, minimising the chance of irritation and rubbing after extended periods of wear.

Our Final Recommendation

Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde lenses have excellent moisture retention (a good thing) and are extremely permeable to oxygen (another good thing), which both result in comfortable and healthy eyes.

But they offer no UV protection and have to be treated with complete and careful cleaning rituals.

For average contact lens wearers, the advantages trump the disadvantages and these lenses are a pretty good buy for the money. If you're looking for a good, monthly lens, these could be it.
