Air Optix Colors

Looking to change up your eye game? Combine style with comfort with the newest contact lens technology by Air Optix! At Eyedeology, we offer Air Optix Colors, which are specialised contact lenses that contain a clear region centred at your pupils (the darkest portion of the eye) and a colored opaque matrix on and around the iris (the colored portion of the eye) to enhance or temporarily change the appearance of your eye colour while wearing the lenses. They are monthly disposable contact lenses that come in a variety of colour options. To make the shade appear more natural, the colored matrix of the Air Optix colored contact lenses consist of the following: 

1. Outer ring- which emphasises the iris
2. Primary colour- transforms the eye colour
3. inner ring- brightens and adds depth to the eye

While colored contact lenses have been available for some time, patients have often experienced discomfort, redness, and eye irritation with the use of other types of colored lenses. Air Optix Colors are made with the SmartShield technology that provides an extra protective layer, preventing deposits from accumulating in your contact lenses. These lenses are also made of silicone hydrogel material, which is the material that we recommend the most at the clinic. Silicone hydrogel contact lenses have increased oxygen permeability (increases comfort, longer wear and better eye health), wettability (better comfort) and clinical performance of contact lenses. Air Optix Colors have the highest oxygen transmissibility of any available colored contact lenses (up to 6x more oxygen reaches the eye). It also has a smooth plasma surface technology that makes the contact lens more comfortable on the eye and therefore resists lipids and deposits on the front surface of the contact lenses. Comfort is crucial, especially when wearing contact lenses all day.

Maintaining the health and safety of your eyes is our main priority. While Air Optix Colors can be ordered with or without a prescription, it is best to see an optometrist prior to ordering any type of contact lenses due to the increased risk of eye infections among contact lens wearers. Air Optix Colors for astigmatic prescriptions are currently not available. Here at Eyedeology, we will happily assist you with booking in for an appointment with one of our eye doctors, as well as ordering your lenses and getting them shipped to you as soon as possible!
