A Toric Lens Unlike Any Other
Eyelid Stablised Design
Eyelid stabilised design for Astigmatism
Only ACUVUE® for ASTIGMATISM lenses feature Eyelid Stabilised Design2, with 4 key features:
- 4 stability zones to help keep the lens in place, even with eye or head movements, for consistent, clear and stable vision2
- Prism free optic zone++2 avoids potential vertical prism disparity challenges3,4
- Minimal lower lid interaction helps support patient comfort2
- Horizontal and Vertical Symmetry so the lens cannot be applied upside down2
ACUVUE® OASYS MAX 1-Day for ASTIGMATISM is the first≠ lens with NEW Cylinder Optimised Eyelid Stabilised Design to optimise toric design according to cylinder power, enhancing stability for high cylinder patients1
* 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 e.g., mixed prescriptions. 3,4 Clinical studies have not been done to fully characterise the clinical effects of differences in base down prism among different contact lenses.
† 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.
‡ Criteria for first fit success: rotation ≤20 degrees, lens stability ≤5 degrees movement on blink; acceptable general fitting characteristics, no need for power or axis adjustment.
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.
++ Vertical phorias 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. 7,8 Clinical studies have not been done to fully characterize the clinical effects of differences in base down prism among different contact lenses.

Important Safety Information: ACUVUE® Contact Lenses are indicated for vision correction. As with any contact lenses, eye problems, including corneal ulcers, can develop. Some wearers may experience mild irritation, itching or discomfort. Contact lenses should not be used in case of eye infections or any other eye conditions, or in case of a systemic disease that may affect the eye. For detailed product information, including contraindications, precautions and adverse reactions, please consult the Instructions for Use available on Johnson & Johnson website www.e-ifu.com
