Perfect Fit process1

  • Using patient measurements, order two single lenses (1 per eye) for routine delivery within 10 working days.
  • Use these lenses for the first on-eye evaluation.
  • If these don’t match requirements return them within 90 days of the order for a free exchange or credit (single lens packs only).
  • Unlimited exchanges are available within the initial 90 day period.
  • Based on the final prescription order a 2-pack for each eye.
A healthy cornea requires oxygen.
Lots of it.

Patients requiring unique parameters are often the ones who could
benefit most from high oxygen transmissibility.

With a central Dk/t of 117 @ -3.00D, AIR OPTIX Individual transmits
up to 5 times more oxygen than the leading made-to-order
soft contact lenses (methafilcon B, phemfilcon A).2





One aspect of healthy lens wear is
         less surface deposits.

AIR OPTIX Individual features a patented, permanent, biocompatible plasma surface treatment that
resists deposits to contribute to healthy lens wear.

With this unique surface treatment, AIR OPTIX Individual contact lenses can be worn comfortably for up to three months of daily wear.4

An advanced aspheric lens design optimises lens comfort,
lens fit and visual clarity.

Details of the Advanced Aspheric Lens Design

Breaking the mould

Unlike stock silicone hydrogel contact lenses which are cast moulded, custom lenses generally require high-precision lathing.

Since silicone is very rubbery and does not lend itself to being cut on a lathe, CIBA VISION material chemists invented an exciting new silicone hydrogel formulation called sifilcon A that has a unique property that allows it to be lathed.

State-of-the-art InnoLathe™ manufacturing technology

The patented InnoLathe process begins when a button of the unique new material sifilcon A is mounted onto a precision lathe. A computer file carrying an individual patient's lens design is transmitted to the lathe. The aspheric base curve is cut first. The semi-finished lens is then turned around and the front curve is cut next. The edge is applied in a unique design to provide excellent comfort. Hydration, surface treatment, inspection, packaging and sterilisation complete the InnoLathe process.
