UV Blocking for Eye Health

Published September, 2025

UV Blocking & ACUVUE® contact lenses

Just like the skin, a patient’s eyes can be harmed by UV radiation—and ACUVUE® scientists were inspired to help protect patients. That’s why every ACUVUE® Contact Lens offers UV Blocking** for Eye Health.

Every eye is different. ACUVUE® is inspired by them all.1

** All ACUVUE® contact lenses have Class 1 or Class 2 UV-blocking to help provide protection against transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea and into the eye. 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. UV transmission measured with -1.00 lens.
