1-Day Acuvue Moist Review

 

1-Day Acuvue Moist contacts are one of the most popular contact brands on the market, and this isn’t just by chance: they provide some of the highest levels of UV protection available in a daily disposable contact, as well as giving you hydration and comfort every single time you wear them. By utilizing specialized hydration technologies and embedded wetting agents, you never have to worry about discomfort again. Plus, 1-Day Acuvue Moist fits a wide range of patients, so they’ll likely be perfect for you and your unique eyesight.

 

Why Do Doctors Prefer Daily Contact Lenses?

 

When you seek your eye doctor’s advice when buying contact lenses, often, daily contacts are their first suggestion. This is because daily disposables are one of the easiest ways of preventing overwearing. Overwearing your contacts, or wearing them more than you’re supposed to, is one of the most common issues eye doctors see in contact-wearers, and it can cause serious eye damage if you’re not careful. Every pair of contacts are designed to last a certain amount of time; when you push that, your contacts begin cutting off more oxygen to your eyes than they should, potentially damaging your eyesight.

Daily disposables, then, make it easy to remember to simply take out and toss your contacts at the end of the day, rather than keeping track of one pair for weeks. When you open up a fresh lens every day, there is very little chance for bacteria buildup or other dangerous contaminations, creating an overall safer, cleaner experience.

 

LACREON Technology and UV Protection

 

In order to give you only the best, most comfortable contact lens experience possible, 1-Day Acuvue moist are made with LACREON Technology, a technology that utilizes embedded wetting agents in the contact lens to release moisture and hydration throughout the entire wear. With LACREON, you’re experiencing a cushion of hydrating comfort each time you put them in.

 

Along with their specialized technology, these contact lenses are also made with some of the highest levels of UV protection possible. Made with UV blockers to protect your eyesight and keep the sun’s rays from damaging your corneas, these extra protective contact lenses truly have your safety in mind. However, we still suggest always wearing sunglasses with your contacts when out in the sun as these contacts cannot protect you from 100% of UV rays.

Can You Sleep in Acuvue Moist Contacts?

 

Sleeping in contacts is never recommended, regardless of the type that you have. Even though 1-Day Acuvue Moist is made with hydrating technology, they are still not suitable for sleeping in. In fact, daily contacts should never be slept in, as they’re meant for less than 24-hour wear. Overwear can cause serious damage to your eyes, likely affecting your eyesight. Always throw out your 1-Day Acuvue Moist contacts at the end of the day and open up a fresh pair each time you wear them.

Note: If you plan on taking your daily contact lenses out for a nap or to go swimming, we recommend storing them in Biotrue, RevitaLens, or Opti-free Pure Moist contact lens solutions.

 

Does 1-Day Acuvue Moist Have Lenses for Astigmatism and Presbyopia?

 

Yes! 1-Day Acuvue Moist has options available for both astigmatism and presbyopia. Both toric and multifocal lenses are available in daily disposables with the remarkable LACREON hydrating technology to keep in moisture and avoid irritation.

 

Powers and Parameters

 

1-Day Acuvue Moist is available in powers ranging from -12.00 to +6.00, fitting a wide range of eyesights. They’re available in two base curve options, so always consult with your eye doctor to see which curve is best for your eyes.

 

1-Day Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism comes in cylinder powers of -0.75, -1.25, -1.75, -2.25. 1-Day Acuvue Moist Multifocal comes in add powers of LOW (up to +1.25 add), MID (+1.50 to +1.75 add), HIGH (+2.00 to +2.50 add).

 

Because these contacts are daily disposables, they’re definitely not meant to be slept in or over-worn in any capacity. It is crucial to take these guys out at the end of the day and dispose of them if you want to keep your eyes clean and safe.
