Quick Answer
Air Optix plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism are monthly disposable toric lenses designed to correct astigmatism while providing all-day moisture. They are replaced every month and require standard contact lens care.
Why Choose Monthly Toric Lenses?
Monthly disposable toric lenses like Air Optix plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism offer a balance between daily disposables and traditional lenses. They are replaced every month, which reduces waste compared to daily lenses while still providing fresh lenses regularly.
Toric lenses have a specific orientation to correct astigmatism, so they are designed to stay in place on your eye. The Air Optix plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism uses a unique design to maintain stability, helping you see clearly throughout the day.
What to Know About Caring for Monthly Lenses
Because you wear these lenses for up to a month, proper cleaning and disinfection are essential. Always use fresh contact lens solution each time you store your lenses, and never top off old solution. Replace your lens case every three months to prevent bacterial buildup.
Handling toric lenses can be tricky at first. Always check that the lens is not inside out before inserting, and make sure it is properly positioned on your eye for clear vision.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I replace Air Optix plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism?
Replace these lenses every month. Each box contains 6 lenses, which is a 6-month supply if you wear one lens per eye. An annual supply would be 4 boxes. Set a reminder on your calendar to replace your lenses on the same day each month.
Can I sleep in Air Optix plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism?
These lenses are not approved for overnight wear. Always remove them before sleeping to reduce the risk of eye infections and corneal complications. Keep a spare pair of glasses handy for naps or unexpected sleepovers.
How do I know if my toric lens is positioned correctly?
After inserting the lens, blink a few times and check your vision. If it is blurry, the lens may have rotated. Gently move the lens with your eyelid to help it settle into the correct position. If blurriness persists, remove the lens, rinse it with solution, and reinsert it.
What solution should I use for Air Optix plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism?
Use a multi-purpose contact lens solution that is compatible with silicone hydrogel lenses. Avoid using saline solution alone, as it does not disinfect. Check the solution label to ensure it is suitable for silicone hydrogel lenses.
Can I wear Air Optix plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism if I have dry eyes?
These lenses feature HydraGlyde moisture technology, which helps retain moisture on the lens surface. However, if you experience persistent dryness, consult your eye care professional for a personalized recommendation. Use rewetting drops approved for contact lenses if you feel dryness during the day.
How should I store my lenses when not wearing them?
Place each lens in a clean lens case filled with fresh solution. Make sure the lens is fully submerged and the case is tightly closed. Replace the solution daily. Replace your lens case every three months to maintain hygiene.
