Design Notes
Optics
Precision Profile Design, center-near, with near at the center of the optic, intermediate between center and edge and distance at the periphery, the optical zone size optimized for a wide range of pupil sizes.
Add
Three add powers, low, medium and high.
Surface
SmartShield Technology, an ultra-thin protective layer that shields the lens from irritating deposits all month, holding median total cholesterol uptake to 0.4 µg/lens against 1.31 for Biofinity, 1.55 for PureVision, 2.8 for Acuvue Oasys, 3.96 for Avaira and 5.13 for Ultra.
Wetting agent
