AIR OPTIX® AQUA MULTIFOCAL contact lenses provide better vision for driving.*1

AIR OPTIX® AQUA MULTIFOCAL contact lenses perform better than monovision, and as well as single vision contact lens modalities for driving. A 2009 study published in Eye & Contact Lens assessed the performance of contact lens corrections amongst presbyopic participants using both objective and subjective ratings. For day or night driving, and many other aspects of driving including reading signs, looking in side mirrors and reduced glare and halos, subjects rated AIR OPTIX® AQUA MULTIFOCAL as better than monovision contact lenses, and as good as optimised distance correction.1

Over the past 12 months, trends in fitting contact lenses to presbyopic patients have changed, with more presbyopic patients now being fitted with multifocal contact lenses as compared to monovision.2 Since its launch in 2008, AIR OPTIX® AQUA MULTIFOCAL has quickly become the No.1 fitted multifocal contact lens by UK practitioners.2
