Air Optix Aqua Monthly Contact Lenses
Air Optix
Aqua are monthly contact lenses by Alcon designed for daily wear. The
silicone-hydrogel material used in these contact lenses is Lotrafilcon B(67%)
and the remaining 33% is water. This package contains six lenses.
High
oxygen permeability
Air Optix Aqua contact lenses take pride in their
high oxygen permeability, which is even 5x higher than that of other hydrogel
lenses on the market. This allows for occasional overnight wear, however, you
should consult with your eye doctor before beginning any extended-wear
regimen.
It is not recommended to change to these contact lenses without
first consulting with your eye doctor, as these lenses differ in their optical
properties from other contact lens brands.
Also available in a pack of three
lenses.
Regarding the oxygen permeability of these
lenses, are you concerned about the difference between values indicated on our
website and those on the box? No worries, they are completely the same! On our
website, we use an industry-standard number showing oxygen permeability in
relation to thickness of the lens -- shown as (Dk/t). This is a value calculated
by dividing the oxygen permeability of the lens (Dk) by the thickness of the
lens (t). Most manufacturers provide a (Dk/t), which is why we've chosen to use
it for all our products. However, your box of lenses may only show the (Dk)
value. This just means that your box is showing the base value. It also means
that there is, in fact, no difference between the number we show and the one
that's on your box.

These have always been my go to lenses. Previous place i bought them didn't have my prescription in stock so i got them from here. Got them within a couple of days which is great.
You really do notice the difference when wearing these lenses. Comfortable for the whole day.
Good afternoon, are Air Optix Aqua extended wear approved? Is it safe to wear overnight when travelling, for example? or only occasionally? Thanks.
Hello Noreen, Thank you for your question. Yes, Air Optix Aqua overnight wear is possible on an occasional basis. We always suggest discussing this option with your optician, first, as every wearer may have a different tolerance for extended wearing.
Do air optix aqua parameters allow you to change the BC and DIA? It doesn't seem possible to change it here....
Hi David, The Air Optix Aqua BC and dia are standard measurements and cannot be changed. Most people will not feel any noticeable difference if your prescription BC and dia are within 0.2mm

Hello, are the air optix aqua online the same as I would get from my optician?
Hi George, all Air Optix Aqua contact lenses are supplied directly from the manufacturer, Alcon, from their various laboratories throughout Europe.
I compare prices for air optix aqua with other online shops, and these are the cheapest i've found. Recommend alensa.ie for their prices and quick delivery.
Do you offer a free trial of Air Optix Aqua? I've been wearing bi-weekly contact lenses, so I'm not sure how suitable a monthly set will be, but I would be interested to try them.
Dear Cindy, although we are not able to provide trial lenses from Air Optix Aqua, you may wish to try our newly released TopVue Monthly Plus lenses. They're supremely comfortable monthly lenses, and all of our TopVue products feature a money-back guarantee. http://www.alensa.ie/…lus-6-lenses
Great price for Air Optix Aqua. I've upgraded to the box of 6 lenses, and it has saved quite a bit of money for me.
I tried these on the recommendation of my ophthalmologist, and have been quite satisfied. Other lenses left my eyes quite dry, but I don't have that problem with Air Optix
I agree! As a graphic designer, I'm staring at my screen all day, and they're still tolerable.
My optician recommended these, and I've never looked back. Wonderful feeling lenses
