Material:

Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism contact lenses are made with Lotrafilcon B. Lotrafilcon B is a silicone hydrogel with a water content of 33% that allows more oxygen to pass through the lens to the cornea than regular soft (hydrogel) contacts - improving breathability for added comfort.

Technology:

Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism contact lenses have been designed by Alcon with technologies employed to improve effectiveness and the comfort of wearers:

HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix - HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix technology uses a block copolymer that surrounds the lens with an envelope of moisture; it offers a unique hydrophilic barrier that lowers friction during wear to provide extra hydration throughout the day, improving comfort for wearers.

SmartShield technology - SmartShield is a technology from Alcon that creates a permanent ultrathin protective shield around the contact lens, lowering the amount of exposed silicone atoms at the surface. This technology helps the lens to resist lipid deposits and improves wettability and hydration.

Precision Balance 8|4 Lens Design - Precision Balance 8|4 is a trademarked, unique design for toric contact lenses from Alcon that helps to provide a stabilised lens fit and wearing experience, using two points of stability. This technology also helps to reduce interaction between the lens and eyelid, improving comfort.
