CIBA Vision introduces O₂OPTIX™, the latest in our portfolio of advanced technology silicone hydrogel contact lenses. O₂OPTIX™ transmits up to 5 times more oxygen than traditional daily wear soft contact lenses (based on Dk/t), offering you an excellent option for helping to protect against the potential signs of corneal oxygen deficiency which may be caused by wearing traditional hydrogel contact lenses i.e. traditional daily wear soft contact lenses.

CIBA Vision's unique O₂OPTIX material, lotrafilcon B, contains 33 percent water. The permanent surface treatment ensures surface wettability for comfort and resists to protein deposits.

It is a healthy choice for daily wear.

Tips for Fitting

1. Explain value of O₂OPTIX lenses to your daily wear patients:

- improved end-of-day comfort

- whiter, healthy-looking eyes

2. Always do an over-refraction to allow for BVP variations between various brands

3. Advise patients that they may experience lens awareness upon initial insertion (1-2 weeks) when switching from hydrogel lenses

4. Consider upgrading the care regimen - AQuify MPS is specially formulated for silicone hydrogel lenses
