Air Optix by Alcon are breathable monthly lenses built to stay comfortable from morning to night. Charm Optical carries the everyday Plus HydraGlyde, its toric counterpart for astigmatism, and the extended-wear Night & Day Aqua — all in stock for pickup in south Edmonton.
Monthly lenses like Air Optix are often the best value for full-time wearers, since one box covers a longer stretch than daily disposables. A licensed optician confirms your base curve, diameter and power before pickup, we price-match online retailers, and we direct bill most Alberta insurance plans.
Air Optix: common questions
Are Air Optix lenses monthly?
Yes. Air Optix by Alcon are monthly-replacement lenses — you wear a pair through the day, clean and store them in solution overnight, and replace them every month. They're silicone-hydrogel lenses that let plenty of oxygen reach the eye.
Can I sleep in Air Optix Night & Day Aqua?
Air Optix Night & Day Aqua is one of the few lenses approved for extended (continuous) wear, but whether that's right for you is a decision only your optometrist can make after examining your eyes. Never sleep in contact lenses unless your eye doctor has specifically approved that wearing schedule for you.
What is HydraGlyde and why does it matter?
HydraGlyde is Alcon's moisture technology built into Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde. It's designed to help the lens hold a cushion of moisture across the full month of wear, which many people notice as more consistent end-of-day comfort — useful in Edmonton's dry, heated indoor air.
Is there an Air Optix lens for astigmatism?
Yes — Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde for Astigmatism is the toric version. It's prescribed when your contact lens Rx includes a cylinder and axis to correct astigmatism.
