CibaVision is Discontinuing O2Optix

on February 22nd, 2011 | Filed under Optoblog

I just got word that Ciba will discontinue O2Optix soft contact lenses. The time line appears to be:

  • 7-1-2011 Doctors will no longer get trials for O2Optix
  • 1-1-2011 Product availability not guaranteed
  • 7-1-2012 O2Optix lens discontinued.

Ciba has been pushing strongly the one month replacement modality which flies in the face of the two week replacement schedule philosophy of their competitor, Vistakon. Ciba’s recommended alternative for those who have been in O2Optix lenses is to have their doctor refit them in Air Optix Aqua.
