Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism are
bi-weekly toric contact lenses produced by Johnson &
Johnson to correct astigmatism. They are a new generation of lenses,
continuing in the tradition of Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism. The manufacturer
affirms wearers may switch from Acuvue Advance to Acuvue Oasys without needing
to visit an eye specialist if all parameters of the lenses remain the same
(diopter, curve, cylinder, axis).
Acuvue Oasys
for Astigmatism have a high oxygen-permeability and remain perfectly stable on
the eye. Just like their spheric version, Acuvue Oasys, Acuvue Oasys for
Astigmatism contact lenses are made from a highly permeable material, SENOFILCON
B, and have 38% water content. Moreover, the lenses are equipped with the
brand's patented Hydraclear Plus technology, which keeps them moist and
comfortable throughout the day.
Stable correction
The lenses' Accelerated Stabilisation Design (ASD)
technology provides consistent positioning of the contact lens on the eye. This
technology uses eye blinking to maintain the lens' correct cylindrical position
on the eyeball. Each blink squeezes the lens into the correct position where its
cylinder corrects the irregularity of the cornea.
UV protection
Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism contacts are equipped
with UV filters that block more than 95% UV-A and 99% UV-B radiation and protect
the most important parts of eye. For better protection from UV radiation,
however, it is always advisable to wear UV-blocking sunglasses when outside, in
order to protect the entire eye area.
Approved for extended wear
Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism contact lenses are
designed for a two-week wear cycle. They should be removed every evening and
disinfected in a contact lens case with solution. The lenses are also approved
for extended wear (up to seven days without removal), but only under the
supervision of your eye-care specialist after a thorough eye examination. If
used in this way, the lenses must be discarded after seven days.
