This material surpasses other soft contact lenses in the areas of comfort, clarity and eye health. The cornea (the clear "window" on the front of the eye) requires oxygen to be healthy. Standard soft contact lenses use water to transport oxygen to the cornea but Wet O2 contains silicone. Silicone is highly gas permanable so it allows the free flow of ample amounts of oxygen directly through the lens. This direct flow through the lens ensures that the cornea gets a continous supply of oxygen which promotes a healthy eye.

When the cornea gets sufficient oxygen, the corneal epithelium stays strong, ensuring clear acute vision. Without enough oxygen the epithelium can break down and microbial keratitis may become an issue. The low water content of Wet O2 is also effective at keeping debris, including bacteria, from adhering to the lens surface. Wearing a clean lens greatly reduces the likelihood of a microbial infection.

All people may benefit from lenses made with silicone, especially those who prefer extended or continous wear contact lenses.
