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.
