Both are marketed differently, O2's say that they can be worn 6 days straight and Air's are marketed to be worn for a month. The reality is, according to CIBAvision's own documentation, both can be worn for six days straight OR a month with daily cleaning. And the PDF indicates they are the same exact lens.

One more thing. This all started because the FDA extended the recommended wear for Silicon Hydragel lenses from 2 weeks to a month, effectively cutting the market for these lenses by 50%. My eye doc did indicate that there have been rumblings of legal action by consumer groups in relation to the general marketing of contact lenses and this issue specifically, but he hasn't heard anything definite.
