Product Introduction
Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism by Johnson & Johnson is a fortnightly silicone hydrogel toric contact lens often recommended for patients who require optical correction for astigmatism. By utilising the natural mechanics of the eyelid to continuously realign the lens, these lenses are a strong option for wearers who experience intermittent blur or rotational instability during physical activity or screen use.
Advanced Lens Technology & Benefits
- Blink Stabilized Design: Four symmetrical stabilisation zones integrated into the lens periphery that interact with the eyelids to actively realign the lens, delivering consistent uninterrupted vision correction without the thickness associated with traditional prism ballast toric designs.
- HYDRACLEAR® Plus Technology: A moisture-rich wetting agent permanently incorporated into the 38% water content matrix that creates an exceptionally smooth, well-lubricated lens surface, supporting consistent comfort across the full fortnightly wearing period.
- Senofilcon A Material: A silicone hydrogel matrix that maintains an oxygen transmissibility of 129 Dk/t, allowing a substantially greater volume of oxygen to reach the cornea to support long-term ocular health during daily wear.
- Class 1 UV Protection: Filters out greater than 99% of UVB and 96% of UVA radiation, providing an invisible layer of clinical protection for the inner structures of the eye against solar exposure.
Who Should Wear Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism?
Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism is often recommended for patients who:
- Have a diagnosed astigmatic prescription requiring toric lens correction.
- Experience intermittent blur or rotational instability with standard toric lenses during physical activity or screen use.
- Suffer from dry or tired eyes with conventional hydrogel lenses and require a higher-breathability, moisture-retaining alternative.
- Prefer a fortnightly replacement schedule with the flexibility of approved overnight wear.
Note: Suitability and replacement schedules must always be confirmed by your optometrist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sleep in Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism contact lenses?
Yes, Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism is clinically approved for up to six nights of continuous extended wear. However, patients must never sleep in their lenses unless explicitly examined and approved for an overnight wear schedule by their optometrist.
Is there a daily disposable version of Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism?
Yes, Johnson & Johnson offers Acuvue Oasys 1-Day for Astigmatism as the daily disposable equivalent. It incorporates the same Blink Stabilized Design for rotational stability but utilises HydraLuxe® Technology for single-day performance.
How does the Blink Stabilized Design in Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism work?
Unlike traditional toric lenses that use a thicker prism ballast design relying on gravity, the Blink Stabilized Design features four symmetrical peripheral zones. These zones interact with the eyelids during each blink, actively returning the lens to its correct orientation through the natural mechanics of lid pressure.
How do I clean and store Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism contact lenses?
When removed nightly, Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism lenses must be cleaned and stored using a multi-purpose solution. Optifree Pure Moist is frequently recommended to remove daily protein deposits. Lenses should be soaked overnight in a fresh contact lens case.
