Alcon, once the world's largest ophthalmic pharmaceutical company, launched the contact lens solution in 2000 and firmly occupies the majority of the global contact lens care solution market. After the acquisition of Novartis and the integration with CIBA VISION, Alcon quickly became the leader in contact lens care solutions. In 2019, Alcon spun off from Novartis and officially became an independent public company.
Alcon's contact lens solutions are divided into the Aodi series of multi-purpose care solutions and hydrogen peroxide. In the 2015 Consumer Reports test, the disinfection effect of Aodi (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans) was evaluated as a perfect score, and the protein removal rate was 10% higher than that of other brands of care solutions.
There are three products in the Aodi series - Aodi, Aodi Leming, and Aodi Hengrun, all of which are added with a unique formula of sodium citrate dihydrate, which uses negatively charged sodium citrate combined with positively charged proteins to achieve the purpose of removing protein deposits on the lens. However, for some people with sensitive eyes, it may cause eye discomfort after use.
In terms of moisturizing and moisturizing degree, the three have their own differences, the basic Aodi, no special moisturizing ingredients are added, the degree of moisturization is average, but it is the most cost-effective. The TEARGLYDE dual reaction system based on polyalkoxyethylenediamine and nonoylethylenediamine triacetic acid is formulated to interact with the wearer's tears for better moisturizing properties. The best moisturizing Aodi Hengrun, by adding polyoxyethylene-polyoxybutene containing HydraGlydes moisturizing formula, so that the eyes are moisturized for a long time, with the more comfortable the use of the product price will be, the overall range is 35-100 yuan. It is worth mentioning that the packaging of the Aodi series is designed to be opened with one hand and the cap and bottle body are integrated, which is very convenient to use.

AO SEPT hydrogen peroxide is widely used, in addition to color contact lenses should be used with caution, other soft lenses and hard lenses can be used, the fly in the ointment is the long reaction time, after the glasses are placed in the hydrogen oxygen cup, they need to stand for more than 6 hours, and the glasses with insufficient soaking time will stimulate the eyes. In addition, hydrogen peroxide is highly corrosive, and special attention should be paid to safety during use, if accidentally drip into both eyes, you need to clean your eyes immediately and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
