How does PureVision compare?

PureVision vs Air Optix

PureVision2 and Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde are both silicone hydrogel lenses and can also be worn as extended wear contact lenses. They offer a longer contact lens wearing time than other hydrogel lenses and suitable for up to 16 hours of wear. They even share a similar water content, so what sets them apart?

Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde allows a slightly higher amount of oxygen through the lens to your eye compared to PureVision. And, Air Optix uses SmartShield technology to prevent the build-up of protein and deposits on the lenses. This contributes towards a healthier and hydrated lens wearing experience which is highly beneficial for contact lens wearers of today’s digital environment.

PureVision vs Acuvue Oasys

Acuvue Oasys contact lenses are considered a healthier wearing option than PureVision2 and has a higher DK/t value of 147. Thus, allows more oxygen to reach the eye for a more hydrated and breathable lens wear.

Acuvue Oasys also shares a silicone hydrogel design like PureVision2 but offers a two weekly disposable wearing schedule and up to one week of extended wear. This is beneficial for wearers who tend to experience dry eye and avoids the uncomfortable lens feeling that most monthly disposable wearers do at the end of each month. Thus, offers a healthier and more hygienic way of wearing your contact lenses.

Both lenses have a visibility tint for easier handling, while Acuvue Oasys features a clever 123 inside-out indicator for additional support

PureVision vs comfi Air

Both monthly lenses, PureVision2 and comfi Air contact lenses share a silicone hydrogel material and offer a high oxygen intake. However, comfi Air allows an exceptional oxygen consumption of 190 Dk/t for even longer hours of contact lens wear, reducing dryness and maintaining all day comfort.

In addition, comfi Air contact lenses holds a higher water content compared to PureVision, ensuring a more comfortable and wettable lens wear that’s combined with UV protection for safety against the sun’s harmful rays. Both contact lenses deliver high performance but it’s clear comfi Air is available at a more affordable price point for lens wearers.
