Are you trying to find extended wear contact lenses for your astigmatism? If so, ACUVUE Oasys For Astigmatism may be the right toric contact lenses for you.
ACUVUE Oasys toric lenses are very similar to their cousins, ACUVUE Advance For Astigmatism, and are made by parent company Johnson and Johnson. Both offer disposable wear technology and may be worn for up to two weeks with daily cleaning. ACUVUE Oasys, however, is also approved by the FDA for non-stop and overnight wear of up to six days.
ACUVUE Oasys lenses are made of a superior silicon polymer called Hydraclear Plus. It is a very moisture rich substance found throughout each Oasys lens. The polymer keeps a high moisture level because it is mostly made up of water-loving long-branch molecules. As a result you experience a silky, super-smooth feel every day and night that you wear these lenses. They are so comfortable that it becomes easy to forget you have them on, even in challenging physical environments.
These toric lenses are highly breathable, which is an absolutely vital component of any extended wear eye contacts. Breathability is essential for your eye’s health, since the eye needs oxygen in order to function properly. Hydraclear Plus permits an amazing 98% of available oxygen to permeate through the lens down to your cornea.
ACUVUE Oasys astigmatism lenses also offer almost complete protection versus the sun’s ultraviolet rays. UV protection matters because UV rays can harm your eyes. ACUVUE Oasys lenses give almost 100% protection against UV-B and up to 96% protection against UV-A. That is much greater than the relatively meager 30% and 10% protection respectively offered by some other brands!
Toric lenses must remain motionless in position on the eyeball rather than float around, because their shape and position reverse the scattering of light caused by astigmatism. ACUVUE Oasys lenses counter astigmatism through advanced toric lens engineering its makers call Accelerated Stabilization Design, which minimizes contact between the lens and the eyelid when the eye blinks. The design also harnesses pressure caused by the eyelids themselves to keep the lens where it belongs. This is all possible because ACUVUE Oasys lenses have four stabilization zones instead of a single heavy “ballast” zone at the bottom of the lens as found on most other toric lenses. The enhanced stability results in sharp vision, since your toric lenses should almost never pop out of their correct shape.
If you think extended wear toric lenses are for you, please consult your doctor to be certain that extended wear lenses are a good option since everyone’s medical needs are different. If your doctor says you are eligible, then you’ll be glad you gave ACUVUE Oasys For Astigmatism a try.
