How can ACUVUE® help me take the best care of my eyes?
The health of your eyes is of paramount importance to ACUVUE® and we are committed to providing contact lenses that are as comfortable as possible using innovative technology to help you to continue to see and feel good in your contact lenses for years to come.
ACUVUE® Contact Lenses are designed to allow very high levels of oxygen to reach your eyes. By doing so, we can help to keep your eyes looking healthy and white. For superior oxygen delivery and healthy looking eyes, try 1•DAY ACUVUE® TruEye®, ACUVUE® ADVANCE® or ACUVUE® OASYS®.
ACUVUE® Contact Lenses also help to protect your eyes* by blocking a high percentage of UVA and UVB radiation.
