Hi everybody. Me again.

Very interesting thread here.

In my quest to "make my own determination" I checked to see if there was any evidence on line that O2 Optix contains this "Aqua Moisture system," but I didn't find any. I don't wear O2 Optix or Air Optix Aqua, so the package insert is not available to me.

It's interesting to note that some searches came up with the phrase "Buy Air Optix Aqua (previously O2 Optix)" and "Air Optix Aqua have replaced O2 Optix." How can you replace something with the same thing? If I want to replace a tire on my car, I'm not going to take the tire off and put the same one back on. If the tire had been replaced, then it's a different tire, right?

All I'm saying is what others have been saying. My determination is that Air Optix Aqua contact lenses are very similar, but not identical, to O2 Optix contact lenses. "Identical" does not mean "very similar." That would be like saying an oval is identical to a circle or that a motorcycle is identical to a bicycle.
