| Stabilization: Precision Balance 8 | 4 design, a modified prism ballast with two anchor points, marked 8 at the lower left and 4 at the lower right of the lens face. |
|---|---|
| Geometry: Wide optic zone, with scribe marks at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock that allow lens observation at multiple angles. | |
| Study: Rotational stability in just 30 seconds, from a randomized, subject-masked clinical study at 11 sites with 83 subjects, and oscillation of 5 degrees or less with blink, from a randomized, subject-masked, multi-site clinical study with over 150 patients, both run with AIR OPTIX for Astigmatism lenses. | |
| 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: HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix, a polyoxyethylene-polyoxybutylene copolymer (EO45BO10) held at 0.04%, 400 ppm, in the blister solution alongside 1% Copolymer 845. |




| Stabilization: Precision Balance 8 | 4 prism ballast, with stabilized 8 and 4 o'clock points that help reduce lower lid interaction and a single 6 o'clock scribe mark. |
|---|---|
| Study: 99% first-lens fit success based on lens movement, centration and rotation at initial fitting, n=47. Three further results are printed separately for that study: settles within 2 degrees of ideal orientation, settles in an average of 37 seconds, and less than 3 degrees of oscillation with blink. | |
| Surface: Water gradient construction, a gradual transition in water content from core to surface, with the surface approaching 100% water on in vitro measurement of unworn lenses. | |
| Wetting agent: SmarTears releases phosphatidylcholine (PC), an ingredient found naturally in tears that helps to stabilize the lipid layer of the tear film. | |
| Packaging: 5-count trial packs alongside the 30-count and 90-count boxes. |

| Stabilization: PRECISION BALANCE 8 | 4 design. |
|---|---|
| Surface: SMARTSURFACE Technology, a microthin layer of moisture (~2-3 microns) that steps up from the core water content to greater than 80% at the outer surface. | |
| Study: Lens oscillation with blink of 5° or less in 98.7% of eyes, n=78 eyes. |
| Stabilization: PRECISION BALANCE 8 | 4 design. |
|---|---|
| Geometry: Stabilization points at 8 and 4 o'clock help minimize lower lid interaction, with a single 6 o'clock scribe mark. | |
| Surface: ACTIV-FLO (7-day sustained release of a polymeric wetting agent from the silicone hydrogel material). | |
| Fitting: Settles in less than 60 seconds; settles within 3° of ideal orientation. | |
| Note: Filters 34% of blue-violet light rays; filtering of high-energy visible light has not been demonstrated to confer any health benefit. | |
| Study: First-lens fit success 99.9% on lens movement, centration and orientation at initial fitting, and 100% with blink oscillation of 5° or less, in a 28-day prospective clinical study, n=92. |

|---|---|---|
| 13.5 mm and smaller | 50 to 49 | 7.7 mm |
| 13.5 mm and smaller | 48 to 45 | 8.0 mm |
| 13.5 mm and smaller | 44 to 41 | 8.3 mm |

| 15.0 mm and larger | 42 to 39 | 9.2 mm |
| 15.0 mm and larger | 38 | 9.5 mm |
| Stabilization: PRECISION BALANCE 8 | 4 design, stabilized at the 8 and 4 o'clock points to reduce lower lid interaction, with a single 6 o'clock scribe mark. |
|---|---|
| Study: In a clinical trial where n=69, the lens settled within 3 degrees of ideal orientation, took an average of 60 seconds to settle, oscillated less than 3 degrees with blink, and gave 95% first-lens fit success judged on lens movement, centration and rotation at initial fitting. | |
| Material: Water gradient construction, water content rising from the core outward to a surface that approaches 100% water. | |
| Surface: CELLIGENT Technology, which includes a bioinspired 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine polymer surface, helps resist the adherence of bacteria and lipids, based on in vitro studies of unworn lenses. | |
| Note: A blue-violet light filter reduces 34% of light below 450 nm, a reduction with no demonstrated clinical benefit. |
