O2 Optix

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

O2OPTIX[1] (also known as AIR OPTIX in Europe, the Middle East and Africa) is a brand of highly breathable[2] contact lenses made by CIBA Vision. They are soft contact lenses made from a silicone hydrogel material consisting of approximately 67% lotrafilcon B, 33% water, and have a patented surface treatment to resist deposits for more comfortable lens wear. O2OPTIX lenses transmit up to five times more oxygen versus traditional soft contact lenses - for whiter, healthy-looking eyes. O2OPTIX lenses are approved for daily wear and extended wear for up to six continuous nights.[3]
