Eye problems occur in almost every fifth person in the modern world. Someone prefers wearing glasses, someone - contact lenses. The advantage of the latter is comfort in wearing: you do not need to take them off, put on as often as glasses. But to choose contact lenses should be more carefully, because they are in contact directly with the eye. Some people experience different discomfort from the lenses, it happens that they even have an allergic reaction.
We suggest that you review the description and features of Acuvue contact lenses from Johnson & Johnson, a medical manufacturer.
Description
Acuvue contact lenses have long been known in the United States of America. The first pair was released twenty-eight years ago. Since then, they are in great demand all over the world and have accumulated a lot of positive feedback.
One-day Acuvue contact lenses are designed to improve your vision without changing the color of your eyes( only if they are not colored).They help with myopia and hyperopia.
The outer limbal ring of the lenses is slightly darker, which increases the contrast between the iris and sclera, while the inner translucent pattern adds a depth and brightness to the iris. That is, the color of your eyes becomes more intense and bright.
Features of Acuvue
contact lenses - Acuvue lenses made from Class A etofilkon have a rather high oxygen transmittance of 33%.
- Comfort. A moist pillow makes the lens comfortable for daily wearing. The surface of the lens is ultra-smooth. This means that the eyelids do not feel it at all and glide along it very easily. The percentage of moisture content is from thirty-eight to fifty-eight( depending on the type of lens).
