Very high as far as I know; the XO2 had even a higher permeability than the XO.

Cool. Have you thought about giving the XO2 lenses a try, seeing that they have better oxygen permeability and all?

No, I haven't thought about doing that since the lens material probably costs more and I don't know whether it is available in the "multifocal design" that I wear.

You could probably got to lens.com to compare prices and materials. I mean, it would be good to find out if you could get the lenses with the higher oxygen permeability, right?
