The new high oxygen permeable monthly lens that lets your eyes breathe better! AIR OPTIX¸ is a revolutionary monthly contact lens for daytime wear, made of a silicone-containing material. AIROPTIX This lens allows up to 5 times more oxygen to pass through to the eye than regular monthly lenses. Eyes need to breathe! In order to function properly and stay healthy, eyes need oxygen. to breathe?. The cornea (front, transparent part of the eye, also called "cornea") takes the necessary oxygen from the air: it dissolves in the thin layer of tear on the eye, and can thus be absorbed by the cells of the cornea. An ordinary contact lens makes this process a bit more difficult, because it forms a kind of barrier between the air and the eye. To prevent the eye from suffering from a reduced oxygen supply in the long term, contact lens specialists usually recommend not wearing the lenses for more than 8 to 10 hours a day. We need lenses that allow more oxygen to pass through. However, today's consumer's lifestyle often makes higher demands (just think of the number of hours most spend in front of a computer screen!) and the recommended wearing times are almost always exceeded. Quite a few contact lens wearers therefore show certain signs that may indicate an oxygen deficiency, such as red eyes, uncomfortable lenses at the end of the day, sometimes a burning sensation or itching, the feeling of having dry eyes? CIBA Vision (now Alcon) has been conducting research for years into developing new lens materials that allow much more oxygen to pass through to the eye, so that the eyes can continue to "breathe" and remain healthy, also in the long term. The new highly oxygen-permeable lenses developed by CIBA Vision / Alcon are based on silicone and have a special coating around them, which makes the lenses more wettable and on which protein precipitation has virtually no effect.
