Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism
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.
