Linarial meaning.

Easyvision Linarial is a premium monthly silicone hydrogel contact lens brand exclusive to Specsavers in the UK. Designed for long-lasting comfort and high oxygen permeability, these lenses are a "white-label" version of the well-known Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde manufactured by Alcon.

If you’ve recently had a contact lens fitting at a UK Specsavers branch, you may have been prescribed "Easyvision Linarial." For many wearers, the branding can be slightly confusing because "Easyvision" is not a manufacturer, but rather Specsavers' own house brand. Understanding what is behind the box is essential for users who want to know exactly what they are putting in their eyes or for those looking to source their lenses online using their prescription.

"Specsavers’ Easyvision range utilizes 'own-brand' packaging for market-leading lenses, allowing them to offer high-end technology like the Linarial—originally Alcon's Air Optix—at a competitive price point within their high street practices."

The Technology Behind the Lens

The "Linarial" specific model is engineered using Silicone Hydrogel material, which is a significant step up from older hydrogel lenses. The standout feature of this lens is the integration of SmartShield Technology and the HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix.

This combination serves two primary purposes: first, it creates an ultra-thin protective layer that shields the lens from irritating deposits (like proteins and lipids); second, it attracts and retains moisture on the lens surface throughout the day. Because they are monthly disposables, you can wear them for up to 30 days, provided they are removed, cleaned, and stored in solution each night. For UK patients, this means a lens that handles the dry environments of air-conditioned offices or long commutes while maintaining a high level of breathability for eye health.
