Alcon launched Air Optix plus HydraGlyde Multifocal contact lenses, combining technologies to offer presbyopic patients seamless vision at all distances as well as enhanced moisture benefits.

The lenses feature lasting lens surface moisture through the HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix, as well as deposit protection and consistent comfort with Alcon’s SmartShield Technology.

Alcon’s multifocal contact lenses follow the same two-step initial fitting process that leads to a 96% rate of fit success with two lenses or less, according to the company press release.

Air Optix plus HydraGlyde Multifocal contact lenses will be widely available Oct. 1.
