Superior Lens Performance† Backed by Science of Tears¹⁻⁴

Published on Oct 11, 2022

What are patients really experiencing with their contact lenses?

Discomfort icon
  • ~ 2/3 of contact lens wearers experience a decline in performance (comfort, vision & satisfaction) throughout the day.5,6
  • 62% experience a decline in comfort specifically.5,6

What is the reason for such common poor lens experiences?

We blink more than 14,000x/day 

  • Wearing a contact lens, coupled with a full day of activities, can destabilize a patient’s tear film.7-10
  • This will lead to increased friction with the eyelids, which can negatively impact comfort.11
  • Since tears act as the natural & ideal lubricant for our eyes, a lens material that integrates key tear-like components & not just water, will help to address these negative lens experiences.3, 12-14

The lens innovation that is grounded in patients’ experiences and lifestyles

ACUVUE OASYS  1-Day with HydraLuxe box

  • ACUVUE® OASYS 1-Day with HydraLuxe® Technology delivers exactly that with the proprietary tear-inspired lens that has an enhanced network of embedded mucin-like molecules designed to mimic the natural tears for all-day comfort.3-4
  • This helps to evenly spread all the layers of the tear film, promoting a consistently smooth, lubricious, & stable refractive surface3-4

vs Dailies Total1®. JJV Data on File 2015. Statistical superiority on Handling composite scores achieved using the Contact Lens User Experience (CLUE) questionnaire, a validated patient-reported outcomes (PRO) tool. In a randomized, masked, crossover clinical study (2015, n=119) patients were randomly assigned ACUVUE® OASYS 1-Day with HydraLuxe® Technology or Dailies Total1® the first week and switched to wearing the other lens the second week. Lenses were worn as daily disposable on both eyes.

Backed by scientific data and material property characteristics

  • Lower coefficient of friction (CoF) is associated with increased soft contact lens comfort.11
  • 93% lower CoF for ACUVUE® OASYS 1-Day than DAILIES TOTAL1® after 18h of simulated wear2

coefficient of friction of ACUVUE® OASYS 1-Day is comparable to the natural cornea (no lens wear).

  • CoF of ACUVUE® OASYS 1-Day is comparable to the natural cornea (no lens wear).15

Backed by clinical performance data and strong track record

Comfort icon

Comfort

  • In 29 clinical studies published on clinicaltrials.gov, the ACUVUE® OASYS Brand Family of lenses has never been beaten in comfort.*
  • The ACUVUE® OASYS Brand Family of lenses provides superior comfort while using digital screens.16
Contrast icon

Vision

  • ACUVUE® OASYS 1-Day improves contrast sensitivity up to 30%†17

Finally, let’s hear what our patients have to say about their lens experiences...

www.clinicaltrials.gov is a website maintained by the NIH. The 29 clinical studies evaluated subjective comfort as a primary or secondary endpoint for ACUVUE® OASYS Brand 2-weekly and for ACUVUE® OASYS 1-Day with HydraLuxe® Technology. Review conducted as of November 12, 2020. Improved optical performance & vision compared to ACUVUE® OASYS Brand Contact Lenses with HYDRACLEAR® Plus Technology.

Important safety information: ACUVUE® Contact Lenses are indicated for vision correction. As with any contact lens, eye problems, including corneal ulcers, can develop. Some wearers may experience mild irritation, itching or discomfort. Lenses should not be prescribed if patients have any eye infection, or experience eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, redness or other eye problems. Consult the package insert for complete information.
