Air Optix is a brand of breathable contact lenses made by Ciba Vision. They are soft contact lenses made from a silicone hydrogel material consisting of approximately 67% lotrafilcon B (except in Japan),[1] 33% water, and have a patented surface treatment to resist deposits for more comfortable lens wear. O2 Optix lenses are for daily wear and extended wear for up to six continuous nights.
