Why ACUVUE^®

Inspired by the eye's own tear film, our scientists developed a unique patented process to embed high molecular weight PVP into our lens matrix. This hydrating agent mimics the mucin in the tear film, providing moisture at the surface and throughout the lens.^*2

One effective approach to keeping your patients’ eyes healthy is to have them avoid long-term UV radiation exposure. Our lenses incorporate an advanced UV absorbing monomer that acts as another line of defence to help block harmful UV radiation. ^**3

Inspired by the natural antioxidants that occur in the ocular environment, our scientists explored the impact of an added antioxidant to the material of our contact lenses. They discovered that the addition of this component delivers 4x the antioxidant capacity of vitamin E. This helps to keep tear film lipids in their natural state when they interact with lens material, supporting comfort for your patients. ^†4

Pupil size changes with age but also due to refractive error. Our multifocal contact lenses optimise the optical design across the power and add range with 183 optical designs to closely match the natural variation in pupil size.⁵

Patients with astigmatism need their lenses to stay stable throughout the day, but natural head and eye movement can cause them to rotate. Our lenses for astigmatism have 4 stabilisation zones that work naturally with the eyelids, harnessing the power of the blink to help keep the lens in place.⁶
