It’s hard to believe that it’s been 25 years since the first disposable contact lens was released. Many advances have been made over the years and this spring is no exception. Acuvue® just unveiled their latest breakthrough with their 1-Day Moist® for Astigmatism contact lenses.

Now, contact lens wearers with astigmatism have the option of a daily disposable lens. No more solutions or lens cases to worry about!

Like all astigmatism Acuvue® lenses, these feature Blink Stabilized™ design which naturally re-aligns the lenses, keeping them in place when blinking and avoiding the distortion that sometimes occurs when a lens rotates or shifts. Additionally, these new lenses feature Laceron™ Technology, which locks in moisture until they are disposed of, meaning you are comfortable from the moment you pop them in until you toss them at the end of the day.

With summer upon us, these lenses are outfitted with the highest level of UV protection available in a contact lens, blocking out 82% of UV-A and 97% of UV-B radiation. This not only helps protect your eyes but can also assist in preventing excess glare. We do, however, recommend wearing quality sunglasses for complete protection from the sun’s harmful rays.

We’re thrilled to be able to offer our patients with astigmatism the low maintenance, high comfort of a daily disposable lens with this new 1-Day Acuvue® Moist™ for Astigmatism lenses. We invite you to come check them out yourself. Give us a call at (434) 823-4441 to set up an appointment today!
