FAQs
Are Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism soft lenses?
Yes, Acuvue Oasys 1 Day for Astigmatism are soft contact lenses. They are made of a silicone hydrogel called Senofilcon A.
Which is better Acuvue Oasys or Moist?
It depends on your eyes, your contact lens prescription needs and the length of time you wear them.
The Acuvue Oasys lens family are made from highly breathable silicone hydrogel, which allows more oxygen to reach your eyes, keeping them healthy and lenses comfortable. The Acuvue Moist lens family are made from a Hydrogel, which contains a higher water content (58%) but is less breathable. Daily disposable Oasys lenses use HydraLuxe technology (the two-weekly Oasys lenses use HydraClear Plus), while Moist lenses use Lacreon technology to keep eyes moist.
If you’re unsure which lenses are better suited to your eyes, please consult your optician.
How long do Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism last?
Acuvue Oasys 1 Day for Astigmatism are daily disposable contact lenses and should be worn for a single day before being removed and disposed of. You then insert a new pair of lenses the next morning. The Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism two weekly lenses are reusable and need to be removed, cleaned, and stored overnight.
