Order Alcon Monthly Contact Lenses

Alcon monthly contact lenses address dryness through two different material approaches depending on the product line. The Air Optix line uses SmartShield Technology to resist deposit buildup throughout the wear cycle and HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix to help maintain surface moisture from morning through end of day, with a water content of 33 percent that draws less moisture from the eye over long wear periods.

Total30 takes a different approach with Water Gradient Technology, where the water content transitions from 55 percent at the core to nearly 100 percent at the outer surface, creating a cushion of moisture that reduces friction against the eyelid. CELLIGENT Technology on the Total30 surface also helps resist lipid and bacterial deposits throughout the month.
