Air Optix Aqua

Air Optix Aqua from CIBA Vision are designed to help eyes stay fresh and white throughout the day. They provide unbelievable comfort and can be worn up to 6 continuous days and nights.

With their plasma treated lens surfaces Air Optix Aqua contact lenses resist deposits and a unique moisture agent binds with the lens surface to create a more silky layer. This allows the eyelid to easily glide over the lens. Introduced in 2008, Air Optix Aqua are the latest spherical silicone hydrogel lenses available from CIBA Vision.
