1 introducing The Only Naturally Wettable Two-Week Silicone Hydrogel

2 Avaira: Experience Wettability That s More Than Surface Deep Thanks to CooperVision s unique Aquaform technology, new Avaira two-week contact lenses have an innate ability to attract and retain moisture within the lens material itself without the need for additional surface treatments or chemical wetting agents.

3 The two-week lens you ve been looking for is here. New Avaira contact lenses offer both you and your patients the kind of premium performance you ve been missing but always wanted in a two-week silicone hydrogel. NATURAL WETTABILITY Avaira stays moist without surface treatments, additives, or wetting agents aiding comfort and minimizing deposits LOW MODULUS Avaira features a lens material that s 30% softer than comparable premium two-week silicone hydrogel lenses for greater comfort* HIGH OXYGEN TRANSMISSIBILITY Offers more than adequate oxygen for daily wear (Dk/t = 125), helping maintain healthy corneal physiology ABERRATION-NEUTRALIZING SYSTEM Unique aspheric optics enhance vision by minimizing spherical aberrations inherent in both the lens and the human eye ADVANCED DESIGN Avaira utilizes an optimized back surface and rounded edge design for easy fitting and better comfort UV-Blocking Protection Avaira lenses feature a UV-blocker to help protect patients eyes against the transmission of harmful UV radiation** *Compared to modulus of 0.72MPa for Vistakon Acuvue Oasys TM. **Warning: UV-absorbing contact lenses are not substitutes for protective UV-absorbing eyewear, such as UV-absorbing goggles or sunglasses, as they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area. Patients should continue to use UV-absorbing eyewear as directed.

4 Aquaform technology: a technological breakthrough. Aquaform, CooperVision s unique material technology, creates a naturally wettable silicone hydrogel contact lens. And you ll only find it in Avaira two-week and Biofinity monthly lenses. Aquaform establishes hydrogen bonds with water molecules Creates a naturally hydrophilic contact lens that retains water within the lens, minimizing dehydration The wettability of the material is inherent within the material itself There are no additives, coatings, wetting agents, or surface treatments As a result, Avaira offers superior comfort and deposit resistance H 2O AQUAFORM TECHNOLOGY ATTRACTS AND BONDS TO SURROUNDING WATER MOLECULES, CONTINUOUSLY WETTING AND LUBRICATING THE MATERIAL LENS CROSS SECTION HIGH O 2 TRANSMISSION 46% HIGHER H 2O CONTENT
