Alcon has added another option to its multifocal portfolio with the launch of Air Optix plus HydraGlyde multifocal contact lenses, offering presbyopic patients a unique combination of technologies for seamless vision at all distances, plus enhanced moisture benefits, compared to Air Optix Aqua.

“Our new Air Optix plus HydraGlyde multifocal contact lens expands Alcon’s differentiated contact lens portfolio – offering additional options for patients and providing opportunities for Eye Care Professionals (ECPs) to foster practice growth,” said Eric Bruno, General Manager of Alcon US Vision Care. “We believe ECPs should be equipped with advanced solutions to accommodate patients’ specific vision needs that fit their individual lifestyles.”  

Alcon says its Air Optix plus HydraGlyde multifocal contact lenses incorporate its precision profile design together with the HydraGlyde molecule for clear, seamless vision at all distances, lasting lens surface moisture, excellent deposit protection and consistent comfort.

Alcon’s multifocal contact lens portfolio equips ECPs with options to meet the diverse and specific needs of presbyopes with a single, easy fitting process. The unique design of all Alcon multifocal contact lenses follows the same two-step initial fitting process that leads to a 96 percent rate of fit success with two lenses or less.
