According to the company release, in countries that have already launched the new lens, there have been reports of more comfortable lens insertion for patients, while the success rate for new lens wearers has also improved. This is because eye care professionals have found it easier to teach a new wearer about lens handling and adaption when using the AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde.{{quote-A:R-W:450-Q: There have been reports of more comfortable lens insertion for patients, while the success rate for new lens wearers has also improved. }}Ms Karen Fowler, country business head of Alcon Australia Vision Care, said she is excited to add AIR OPTIX plus HydraGlyde to Alcon’s monthly replacent portfolio of products and that they looked forward to introducing th to professionals through a series of exclusive dinner events.“Our DAILIES TOTAL1 Multifocal events attracted record attendances right across Australia and New Zeland, which tells us eye care professionals are keen to learn about the latest technologies,” Fowler said.“Launch events… provide a thoughtful mix of technology and thought leader insights.
