Air Optix Aqua Multifocal contact lenses from Alcon are made with a new hydrogel material that allows up to 5 times more oxygen to flow through the lens than regular contact lenses. This means that these multifocal contact lenses provide a comfortable wearing experience, with great visual acuity for up to 7 days straight without removal.
These lenses are bifocal contact lenses, designed to especially help people with presbyopia. They provide exceptional comfort and are recommended for those with sensitive and dry eyes, who spend long periods of time looking at the computer, or are in air conditioned rooms for much of the day.
Air Optix Aqua Multifocal contacts are particularly comfortable due to the use of Alcon’s Tri Comfort technology. This technology is composed of 33% water and 67% Latrafilcon B, allowing the lenses to be worn for extended periods, while keeping your eyes fresh, cool and healthy. In addition, the smooth moist surface of the Air Optix Aqua Multifocal lenses help to keep away dirt, debris and excess protein build up, to prevent itchiness and irritation.
These lenses are designed to be replaced monthly, but frequency of replacement will vary with usage. Please consult with your eye doctor for the wearing schedule that is best suited for your vision needs.

I’m a newer contacts user and was prescribed Air Optics Aqua multifocal by my optometrist.
I bought my first two boxes from the clinic that prescribed them.
In this first set of 12 lenses I encountered 1 defective lense (left eye) which was replaced by my optometrist free of charge.
a couple weeks before I had to replace the last of those lenses I ordered two boxes from contactsforless.ca.
On June 1st I started using the newly arrived lens batch. The very first lens (left eye) I tried was defective in the same manner as the first box! There’s a rough spot on the outer edge that persists after several cleanings so it cannot be used.
Let’s do the math..
lenses tried = 14
lenses defective = 2
that’s a 14.3% defect/failure rate.
This coupled with what I feel to be less than stellar optical performance reading small print has left me decidedly unimpressed with Air Optix.
P.S. to be fair they are comfortable through the day in a dirty manufacturing environment so there’s that anyway.
