Story

The history of this brand dates back to 1950, when the production of lenses was carried out by the tiny Frontier Contact Lens Company, created by ophthalmologist Seymour-Marco. In 1970, the company moved from Jacksonville to New York, where it gained great popularity, and 10 years later it was bought by Johnson & Johnson. The company's production capacity quickly increased, and the Acuvue brand gained unprecedented popularity. The company's achievements include the development of the Etafilcon A material and the creation of the world's first soft contact lenses.

Features of application

If you decide to buy Acuvue Oasis lenses, you should study the specifics of their use:

The instructions say that with prolonged use of CLs, replacement with a new pair should be done after a week.
They are best worn during the day and removed before bed.
To clean contact lenses, you need to use multifunctional solutions, and for patients with very sensitive visual organs, peroxide cleaning systems containing hydrogen peroxide are offered.
Eye products "Acuview Oasis" are prescribed for those people who work at the computer.

Acuvue lens technologies and brands

The brand's products have earned the attention of consumers and ophthalmologists due to their outstanding technical characteristics: the cornea is reliably protected from UV rays, it receives enough moisture and oxygen, and when the eyelids and eyes move, the lenses are instantly stabilized. In addition, contact optics from Akuvue are very simple and convenient to put on; they are suitable for “beginners” and people with very sensitive eyes. The company managed to achieve this through the development and use of unique patented technologies.

Contraindications

When using contact lenses for the first time, consultation with an ophthalmologist is required. This method of vision correction may be contraindicated if:

Allergic, acute infectious, fungal diseases and mechanical damage to the eyes and eyelids, including corneal erosion;
inflammatory process that has spread to the eyelid(s);
dry vision;
decreased level of corneal sensitivity.

How long can you wear? – Depending on the features of the model, Acuview daily lenses are worn for no more than 8-16 hours, after which they should be thrown away. Secondary use is prohibited, since the low percentage of moisture remaining after actively wearing the contact lens during the first day will cause eye irritation and discomfort.

Hydraclear technology: eyes breathe

In addition to hydration, the eyes need a constant supply of oxygen. Hydraclear technology involves the use of high-quality silicone hydrogel material, characterized by high oxygen throughput. In addition, the material retains moisture near the surface of the eye, preventing dehydration. Freshness and comfort are guaranteed throughout the entire period of use.

Acuvue Oasys with Hydraclear Plus lenses (two weeks)

These optical products are manufactured using the innovative Hydraclear Plus moisturizing component, which provides unsurpassed smoothness of their surface and maintains the necessary humidity throughout the entire period of wear. These contact correction products are designed to be used for 2 weeks, and therefore are cheaper than one-day products. At the same time, they allow you to enjoy clear vision and provide maximum comfort of use.

Acuvue Oasys two-week-olds have a high oxygen permeability (147 Dk/t) and optimal moisture content (38%).

This allows you to wear the product in a flexible, extended or day mode. If you want to try this model, we recommend purchasing a small pack of Acuvue Oasys 6 lenses. If the product is suitable, you can order 24 blisters in the future.

Characteristic advantages of these lenses:

Practical two-week replacement schedule.
A profitable solution in terms of price-quality ratio.
High oxygen permeability (147 Dk/t).
Patented moisturizing component Hydraclear Plus.
Several operating modes.

Tips for choosing lenses

Carnival lenses
Those who decide to try colored contact lenses need to know that they need to select lenses only in consultation with an ophthalmologist. The specialist must check visual acuity according to the ophthalmologist's table, examine the eyes to determine their individual parameters (diameter, radius of curvature). Based on this, the ophthalmologist writes a prescription for contact lenses.

If you choose lenses yourself and without a prescription, you may make a mistake with your choice. And then wearing lenses will only cause discomfort. Incorrectly selected contact lenses can fall out of the eyes, move to the side, and cause irritation and inflammation.

For people with poor vision, it is recommended to choose colored lenses with a corrective effect. It must be remembered that if you have allergic reactions, high sensitivity and color blindness, it is not recommended to wear such lenses. If you have farsightedness, it is quite difficult to choose colored contact lenses, so most often they have to be made to order. But with myopia this problem does not arise.

In many optical shops, the doctor not only selects colored lenses, but also gives you the opportunity to try them on. In addition to lenses, your specialist may prescribe moisturizing eye drops. They are especially necessary for those who sit at the computer for a long time.

This article will tell you what eye drops for moisturizing are and why they are needed.

If you experience discomfort, redness, irritation or pain while using lenses, you must immediately remove them and seek help from a specialist.

What you need to know about such lenses

Thanks to colored lenses, you can change your image at any time and hide any cosmetic defects.

But not every lens with a painted surface is capable of this.

Colored lenses are produced without diopters (“plano”) and with diopters for poor vision (corrective).

There are also multifocal contact lenses, read more here.

An example of tinted contact lenses.

According to their purpose, colored lenses are divided into several groups:

Lenses with indicator coloring. They are colored a pale shade of blue or green. All those who wear lenses for vision correction encounter such lenses. Indicator coloring is necessary for more convenient use of contact optics. Coloring makes it easier to see the lenses in the solution container. However, the color of the eyes does not change.
Tinted lenses. Such contact lenses have a uniform color, but it is not very bright, so you can see the natural color of the iris through it. Tinted lenses can make your natural shade more intense, but do not change it completely. They are a more suitable option for light eyes.
Colored (cosmetic) lenses. It is this type of lens that allows you to completely change the shade of your eyes, even the darkest ones. Cosmetic lenses are available in a wide variety of colors. Their distinctive feature is that an opaque pattern imitating the iris is applied to their surface, and the pupil area is not painted.
Carnival lenses. These lenses are also called Crazy lenses. They received this name because a variety of interesting and unusual designs can be applied to their surface.

Colored Define

Although Acuvue does not produce colored lenses in the literal sense of the word, they do offer what they call Acuvue Define tint lenses. They highlight the natural color of the eyes. A contour is drawn around the iris that blends organically with the color of the eyes. Define is available in two variations: Natural sparkle (bluish pattern) and Natural shimmer (pinkish pattern). Define has implemented BEAUTY + COMFORT technology. The pigment does not come into contact with the eye, and a special component keeps the eye moisturized throughout the day. You can buy both zero and diopter ones. A pack of 30 lenses costs between 1000-2000 rubles.

Quality indicator of the described products

Good lenses always have a filter. It protects your eyes from sun rays as much as possible. But not all spectacle lenses have such a filter.

It is important to consider that its installation costs more than even the contact lens itself

People with astigmatism should not skimp on products to improve their vision. For such a condition, good quality contact lenses that will not complicate your eye problems are not cheap. The price increases compared to other similar products due to the fact that it is quite difficult to make quality and most suitable products for eyes affected by astigmatism.

If you want maximum comfort, wear disposable lenses. In addition, you do not need to buy a solution for them. If dryness occurs, drops can easily solve this problem.

Which coating to choose for spectacle lenses

There are several coatings for spectacle lenses. They can often exceed the cost of the lens itself, but improve its functionality and durability. If you have already decided which glasses lenses are best to choose, the next question will be choosing the right coating:

Anti-glare coating. It makes the lens more transparent and improves contrast vision.
Hardening coating - protects against scratches. This covering is especially often ordered for children who do not know how to carefully use their things.
Antistatic coatings against drops of grease or water. Simplify the care of spectacle lenses.
Sun protection coating. Protects eyes from exposure to ultraviolet rays. They can be plain or have a gradient effect.

You can combine several coatings. Such lenses will be much more expensive, but will last longer.
