PostHeaderIcon Understanding Acuvue Oasys Contact Lenses

There are several models of Acuvue contact lenses which are manufactured by Johnson & Johnson. The Acuvue Oasys and the Acuvue Advance use a technique which embeds a silicon wetting agent. This keeps the lenses very moist which aids in getting a smooth comfortable fit. Other models offered by Acuvue are the Acuvue 2 and the 1-DAY Acuvue.

The Acuvue 2 COLOURS is used for enhancing or changing eye color and will not correct vision. All the other models discussed here will correct near or farsightedness. There are 10 different colors available with the Acuvue 2 COLOURS.

With the Oasys lenses you may choose one of two replacement schedules. First, you can take them out and clean them on a daily basis for up to two weeks before replacing them with fresh lenses. You can also continuously wear them for up to six nights until trading them for a fresh set of lenses. The Acuvue Advance are replaced after two weeks of daily cleaning. You can wear the Acuvue 2 continuously for as long as six nights before using a fresh pair or you can go for two weeks with daily cleaning before using a fresh pair of lenses. As its name indicates, the 1-DAY Acuvue are worn for only 1 day and then thrown away to be replaced with a fresh pair.
