You may be looking at the different contact lens brands on the market and wondering which is the best for you. Acuvue’s patented technologies make them the optimal choice. For general comfort as well as lenses for astigmatism and presbyopia, you’ll find the best technology even when it comes to stability and UV ray protection with Acuvue contacts.

You know you have the most comfortable contacts when you don’t even feel like you’re wearing any. With Hydraclear, a technology invented that helps contacts remain comfortable for longer, your lenses will have increased smoothness and moisture the whole day through. Products with this technology, which combines wetting agent with the lens formula itself, include Oasys Brand (Hydraclear Plus, Presbyopia, Astigmatism) and Advance Brand (Hydroclear, Astigmatism).

Lacreon is another technology used to improve comfort. Thanks to this patented technology, your lenses will feel moister for longer periods of time. They don’t require cleaning, they’re perfect for traveling, and they’re excellent for people who have never even worn contacts before. You can find this feature in the Day Moist Brand. Lacreon tech allows for forty-seven percent less friction and improved moisture. Like Hydraclear, the wetting agent is mixed into the formula itself, so that unlike with lenses where the moisture comes from a solution and dries out throughout the day, you won’t blink away the moisture with these lenses.

There have also been some great technological advancements in design. One of these is Accelerated Stabilization Design. Unlike Ballast design, which only has one zone of stability at the bottom of the lens, ASD has four different zones of stability. This means the contact won’t slide around on your eye and will be held in place. This technology is for astigmatism lenses and allows for more stable, sharper vision as it rotates less and is not adversely affected by gravity.

Acuvue also makes use of Stereo Precision Technology, which is used for people with presbyopia, or people who are having trouble seeing small print. With the Oasys Brand for Presbyopia, you can have clear vision for long distance, short distance, and in-between. You’ll no longer have to see clearly only the foreground while losing the background, and vice versa.

Some of the best materials available for contact lenses are hydrogels and silicone hydrogels. The more oxygen is allowed into your eye, the more comfortable the lens is. The top silicone hydrogel lens brands have almost one hundred percent of available oxygen getting through to your eye, making them leaders in comfort as well.

Another great feature you’ll have with the better and cheap contact lenses is protection against UV rays. The strongest of these are classified as Class I, which means they block ninety percent or more UVA rays and ninety-nine percent of UVB rays. Other good contact lenses are Class II and block at least seventy percent UVA and ninety-five percent of UVB. You wouldn’t go out in the sun for long periods of time without using sun block. Why not protect your eyes as well with UV resistant contact lenses?

You can get the best comfort, stability and protection by making use of Acuvue lenses and their new technologies.
