Acuvue Oasys Contact Lens

The Acuvue Oasys contact lens from Johnson & Johnson is a contact lens designed to minimize dryness and maximize comfort. Ice dancers Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto (silver medalists) both wore the Acuvue Oasys during the 2006 Olympics. Because ice rinks are typically a very dry environment, the Acuvue Oasys was ideal for them as skaters.

The Oasys lens features the Hydroclear PLUS moisturizing formula, a proprietary property of Acuvue. The formula is designed to let your eyes feel like they don't have contacts at all.

The Acuvue Oasys Lenses have the following features:

• Hydroclear Plus moisturizer so you feel like you aren't wearing a lens at all
• Soothes tired and dry eye discomfort
• Reduces the need for rewetting eye drops
• The highest UV blocking capabilities for contact lenses
• Inside-Out mark to make putting your contacts in easy

If you find yourself in a dry environment, spend a lot of time in front of a computer, or like to wear your lenses all day, then the Acuvue Oasys is definately a lens you should check out.

The Acuvue Oasys currently on sale for under $26 a box. You can buy it here and receive a discount for the more boxes you buy.

Acuvue Advance Contact Lens

Acuvue Advance Contact Lenses are Acuvue's advanced line of contact lenses. They are designed for you to wear them comftorably for the entire day, take them out when you go to sleep, and wear them the next day. You have the option of either using them as a 2 week daily use lens (where you take them out at night) or as a 1 week extended wear lens, where you leave them in throughout the day.

The secret to the Acuvue Advance lens is its use of Hydroclear - a substance that gives the contact lens a silky, smooth feeling on your eye. It is an Acuvue proprietary formula that is basically a moisture wetting agent, allowing the contact lens to not dry out like other contact lenses.

The Acuvue Advance Lenses feature:

• Hydroclear moisture solution for advanced moistening of the lens
• A soft, flexitble material to promote comfort in the lens
• Visibility tint so its easy to distinguish the lens from your finger
• The highest rated UV protection to protect the eye from sunlight
• An Inside-Out mark to help you put the lens in easily

The Acuvue Advance Contact Lens is ideally suited for those who wish to wear their contacts for the entire day, as well as anyone who has experienced discomfort with their current lenses.

The Acuvue Advance is currently on sale for less than $18 a box. Each box comes with 6 lenses, so if you plan on wearing them as a full time lens, it'll last you for 6 weeks, or 12 weeks if you plan on using it as a daily lens.

1 Day Acuvue 30 Pack

1 Day Acuvue 30 Pack Contact Lenses offer a great solution for those who are tired of dealing with contact lens solutions and messy cleaners. As the name suggests, 1 Day Acuvue contact lenses are meant to be worn for 1 day, then disposed of. The Acuvue contact lens itself comes with all the quality features of other weekly Acuvue contact lenses. UV blocking that blocks up to 99% of UV rays to your eyes, as well as an easy applicator that makes putting them in a breeze. And the biggest draw of these is the fact that you don't have to worry about storing them overnight - just take them out, and put a fresh pair in the next day.

The 1 Day Acuvue 30 Pack lenses feature the following:

• Daily Disposable Soft Contact Lenses
• 30 Contact Lenses Immersed in buffered saline solution to keep them fresh
• A 42% polymer material (etafilcon A)
• 58% Water
• Manufactured by Johnson & Johnson

While many people enjoy the 1 Day Acuvue Lenses, they are definately not for everyone. The one large negative is the fact that you have to take them out every night, and put them in every morning. While many people do this already, those who are used to a 1 week extended care lens may find this annoying. You shouldn't sleep with the 1 Day lenses in either, unlike the 1 week lenses. However, if you generally go for the 2 week lenses that need to be taken out every night, the Acuvue 1 Day lenses might be a better solution.

These lenses retail for over $30, but I've found a great deal on them. With this link you can buy them for less than $21.00 a box! The more you end up buying, the more you save, so now is a great time to stock up on contacts.
