ACUVUE® EYE-INSPIRED DESIGN®

Tear-Infused Design*

Not just coated, but embedded with a tear-like wetting agent that mimics key tear components to provide a long-lasting cushion of moisture for all day comfort.*,3,4,5

Invisible Edge Design

A thin tapered edge design reduces lens-lid interaction so your eyelid glides over the lens as if nothing is there.3,6

UV Blocking

Class 1 or 2 UV blocking to help protect against the transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea and into the eye.#^3

PUPIL OPTIMIZED Design

100% of parameters optimized by age and refractive power vs. less than 2% for the leading competitor, delivering crisp, clear vision near, far and in between.‡7,8

BLINK STABILIZED® Design

Harnessing the power of the blink, four stability zone design makes lens more resistant to effects of gravity, minimizes lower-lid interaction, and delivers a prism-free optic zone§ to provide excellent comfort and clear, stable vision throughout the day. Also provides horizontal and vertical symmetry so the lens cannot be inserted upside down9,10,11,12.

ACUVUE® is unbeaten in comfort in 47 clinical studies.

#Helps protect against transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea & into the eye.

^WARNING: UV-absorbing contact lenses are NOT substitutes for protective UV-absorbing eyewear such as UV-absorbing goggles or sunglasses because they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area. You should continue to use UV-absorbing eyewear as directed. NOTE: Long-term exposure to UV radiation is one of the risk factors associated with cataracts. Exposure is based on a number of factors such as environmental conditions (altitude, geography, cloud cover) and personal factors (extent and nature of outdoor activities). UV-blocking contact lenses help provide protection against harmful UV radiation. However, clinical studies have not been done to demonstrate that wearing UV-blocking contact lenses reduces the risk of developing cataracts or other eye disorders. Consult your eye care professional for more information.

‡Compared to leading competitor’s design, technology optimized for both the parameters of refractive error and add power.

¶Traditional prism and peri-ballast lens designs have a thicker area below lower eyelid than ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses for ASTIGMATISM that can cause interaction and may cause unwanted rotation due to lateral movement of the lower lid during blinks.

§Vertical heterophoria possibly caused by prism dissociation due to the presence of induced optical prism is a relevant factor for practitioners to consider when fitting toric contact lenses for monocular astigmats or those requiring a mix of toric soft contact lens designs.9,10 Clinical studies have not been done to fully characterize the clinical effects of differences in base down prism among different contact lenses.

†Clinical trial results posted on ClinicalTrials.gov, a website maintained by the NIH, were reviewed as of October 31, 2025. The 47 clinical trials evaluated subjective comfort as a primary or secondary endpoint for the ACUVUE® OASYS Brand family (including daily disposable families), the 1-DAY ACUVUE® MOIST Brand family (within the category of hydrogel daily disposable), and the ACUVUE® VITA® Brand family, vs. competitors’ products.

Important Safety Information: ACUVUE® Contact Lenses are indicated for vision correction. As with any contact lens, eye problems, including corneal ulcers, can develop. Some wearers may experience mild irritation, itching or discomfort. Lenses should not be prescribed if patients have any eye infection, or experience eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, redness or other eye problems.
