1 Day ACUVUE MOIST for Astigmatism

1 Day Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism are daily disposable, toric lenses that help sharpen vision for those with astigmatism. Wearers describe them as ‘great for dry eyes’ and ‘very comfortable for all-day wear’

These lenses provide class 2 UV protection, which blocks 98.8% UV-B and 85.1% UV-A rays. Bear in mind though that they are not a substitute for sunglasses, which should still be worn outdoors. They're also designed to be as simple as possible to use. As daily disposables, these lenses don’t require cleaning - you simply dispose of them at the end of the day and replace each morning. They also have a subtle marking and handling tint so you know you’re putting them in the right way round.
