Contact lenses create a barrier to the natural flow of oxygen between your eyes and the air around them. O2OPTIX provides very high levels of oxygen transmissibility, helping to keep eyes whiter and healthy-looking. They are even FDA approved for daily wear and for up to 6 nights of extended wear.
Without enough oxygen, you might feel symptoms such as end-of-day discomfort, irritation, dryness and redness—also known as corneal oxygen deficiency. In the long run, lack of oxygen may even cause complications. O2OPTIX is made with a revolutionary silicone hydrogel technology allowing up to 5 times more oxygen through the lens than the leading traditional 2-week lens, to help protect from the signs and symptoms of corneal oxygen deficiency.
A possible cause of irritation and discomfort is the accumulation of deposits on the lens. Lipids and proteins are produced naturally by the eye and build up on lenses during the day. Routine handling also produces deposits. The patented surface treatment of O2OPTIX resists deposits to contribute to healthy lens wear.
