Ciba Vision has provided a few tips and tricks to help fix Air Optix Night & Day problems with just a few simple steps.

Making sure you line up your lenses correctly is a big one. Those with heavy deposits can sometimes correct their issue by using Clear Care Contact Lens Disinfecting Solution. If you’re still having problems after following the steps outlined, you will want to contact your eye doctor to make sure the problem isn’t more serious.

The lens is the latest in Ciba’s AirOptix line, and joins Acuvue Oasys for Presbyopia and Purevision Multifocal in the bifocal-multifocal silicone hydrogel category.

While most of the new multifocals are made from one form of silicone hydrogel or another, there remains a significant minority of the contact lens wearing public that cannot adapt to wearing a lens made from silicone hydrogel.  For these patients, in addition to the older multifocals, Cooper has the Proclear Multifocal which is well-regarded by doctors, and has been gaining market share.
