Acuvue Contact Lenses

Why ACUVUE Lenses Perform So Well

• LACREON® Technology: Locks a moisture-rich wetting agent permanently into the lens material, so your eyelids glide smoothly over the lens surface rather than dragging on it. You'll find this technology in both the 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST range and ACUVUE DEFINE lenses, making them particularly comfortable for sensitive eyes and long wearing hours.
• HydraLuxe™ Technology: Goes a step further by mimicking your eye's own tear film chemistry. For people who spend long hours on screens and find their eyes feel strained and dry by evening, this technology addresses that problem at a material level.
• Blink Stabilised Design: Uses four precision stability zones to keep toric lenses exactly where they need to sit on your eye. It works with your natural blink reflex, so the lens stays in position whether you're looking down at your phone, lying on your side, or exercising.
• Premium Silicone Hydrogels: Allows significantly more oxygen to pass through to your cornea compared to standard hydrogel lenses. Healthy oxygen flow keeps your eyes looking clear and white, and reduces the risk of complications associated with low-oxygen wear.
• Class-Leading UV Blocking: ACUVUE lenses offer some of the highest levels of UV protection available in a contact lens. They're not a replacement for sunglasses, but they do provide a meaningful additional layer of protection for your corneas every day.

Which ACUVUE Lens Is Right For You?

Here's a practical guide to the lenses we stock online, plus a clear path for wearers who need something more specialised. Your optometrist will always confirm the right fit — but this should help you arrive at that conversation knowing what to ask about:

• You want a comfortable, everyday daily lens for a standard prescription: 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST is a well-proven hydrogel daily with LACREON technology — reliable, affordable, and gentle on sensitive eyes.
• You spend long hours on screens and want maximum breathability: 1-Day ACUVUE OASYS with HydraLuxe is the right step up. The silicone hydrogel material and HydraLuxe technology together make a measurable difference to how your eyes feel at 6pm.
• You previously wore the discontinued 1-Day ACUVUE TruEye: Ask your optometrist about upgrading to 1-Day ACUVUE OASYS, the Johnson & Johnson's recommended premium replacement.
• You have astigmatism and need stable, sharp vision all day: Choose ACUVUE OASYS for Astigmatism, 1-DAY ACUVUE OASYS for Astigmatism or 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST for Astigmatism — use Blink Stabilised Design to keep the lens precisely positioned, even during active or busy days.
• You'd prefer a fortnightly lens you replace every two weeks: ACUVUE OASYS is one of the most widely prescribed fortnightly lenses in the world — highly breathable, comfortable, and consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are 1-Day ACUVUE TruEye lenses discontinued?
Yes — Johnson & Johnson officially discontinued the 1-Day ACUVUE TruEye line globally in 2023. If you were a TruEye wearer, the good news is that 1-Day ACUVUE OASYS with HydraLuxe is a genuine step forward: it's more breathable, better moisturised, and designed specifically for the kind of long-day digital screen use that most of us are dealing with now. You'll need a short consultation with your optometrist to have it fitted before you order.

Do I need a new prescription to switch from TruEye to ACUVUE OASYS?
Yes. Even though 1-Day ACUVUE OASYS is the direct recommended upgrade, contact lenses are prescribed medical devices. You must visit your optometrist to have the new lens formally fitted and approved for your eyes before purchasing online.

What is the difference between 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST and 1-Day ACUVUE OASYS?
The core difference is the lens material and moisture technology. 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST uses a hydrogel material with LACREON technology — comfortable and well-suited to standard daily wear. ACUVUE OASYS is a silicone hydrogel, which allows roughly five times more oxygen to reach your cornea, and adds HydraLuxe technology to actively support your tear film. For most wearers, OASYS is the better choice for long days and heavy screen use — but MOIST remains excellent for people with sensitive eyes or shorter wearing hours.

Do ACUVUE lenses offer UV protection?
Yes — ACUVUE lenses provide some of the highest levels of UV blocking available in a contact lens, blocking over 99% of UVB and over 95% of UVA rays. That said, they're not a substitute for UV-blocking sunglasses, which protect the full surface of your eye and the surrounding skin. Think of the UV blocking in your lenses as an added layer of protection, not a complete solution.

What is the replacement schedule for ACUVUE OASYS fortnightly lenses?
ACUVUE OASYS fortnightly lenses are replaced every 14 days — not based on how many days you've worn them, but from the date you first open the blister pack. Even if you only wore them three days out of fourteen, the lens should be discarded at the two-week mark. Your optometrist will also advise you on how many hours per day is safe for your eyes.
