Our exclusive Aquaform® Technology attracts and binds water throughout the lens material to retain moisture, even during times of reduced blinking. It creates a naturally hydrophilic silicone hydrogel lens with optimum modulus that’s highly breathable, so your patients can enjoy a healthier lens-wearing experience in a more comfortable lens .
How it works
- In a matrix of long silicone chains, hydrogen bonds form to lock water molecules within the lens, to give good wettability and a comfortable wearing experience
- The long chains mean that less silicone needs to be used to optimise oxygen transmissibility, which helps keep eyes clear, white and healthier
- Reduced silicone content also results in a low modulus, which makes the lenses soft and flexible to enhance comfort and fitting versatility
Thanks to Aquaform® Technology, our lenses provide the hydration, breathability and softness that your eyes deserve.
