What types of contact lenses do ACUVUE® manufacture?
ACUVUE® offers a range of soft contact lenses that correct a variety of vision needs. Whatever your vision needs, ACUVUE® has a contact lens that could suit your needs. Our continuous new product development and innovative technologies mean we have a range of contact lenses suitable for myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia.
Spherical contact lenses
Spherical contact lenses correct basic vision needs including short sightedness (myopia) and long sightedness (hyperopia). 1•DAY ACUVUE® TruEye®, 1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST®, ACUVUE® OASYS® and ACUVUE® ADVANCE® products are suitable to correct these vision correction needs quickly, comfortably and easily.
Toric contact lenses
Toric contact lenses will correct astigmatism, a common minor eye condition that is caused by an irregularly shaped cornea. If you have astigmatism your vision may be blurry or distorted at all distances. Soft toric contact lenses correct astigmatism by compensating for the individual differences in the shape of the eye.
ACUVUE® has a range of products to correct astigmatism including 1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® for Astigmatism or our reusable lenses, ACUVUE® OASYS® for ASTIGMATISM and ACUVUE® ADVANCE® for ASTIGMATISM.
Bifocal or multifocal contact lenses
Bifocal or multifocal contact lenses are used to correct presbyopia (the inability to focus sharply on objects that are close to you). ACUVUE® BIFOCAL brand contact lenses correct presbyopic vision allowing you to see both near and far at the same time.
How do different types of contact lenses meet different needs?
Daily disposable contact lenses
Daily disposable contact lenses are intended for single use only, after which you dispose of them. This enables you to benefit from the comfort, convenience and hygiene of fresh new lenses every day. Like reusable disposable contact lenses, these are also now available in exceptionally high oxygen materials such as 1•DAY ACUVUE® TruEye®.
Reusable disposable contact lenses
Reusable lenses are reused the following day for between one week and one month. The number of weeks will depend on the product you choose to wear. Unless specifically prescribed for sleeping in at night, they should be removed and cleaned every night. Reusable contact lenses provide exceptional long-lasting comfort and are available in materials that deliver very high oxygen levels to the eye which will keep them looking white and enable you to wear them for longer hours in the day.
What are the advantages of soft contact lenses?
Soft contact lenses are very comfortable and therefore extremely easy to get used to. They are now capable of providing very high levels of oxygen to the eye meaning that they can be worn for longer hours and will keep the eyes looking white. Soft contacts are ideal for people wanting to change their appearance, wear fashionable wraparound sunglasses or be free from their glasses. They are great for those with an active lifestyles, sitting snugly on the eye, they are ideal for sports as they are unlikely to pop out. Whether you wish to use them just for socialising or sports, or all day, every day, soft contact lenses allow you complete freedom to choose.
