Lenses are not a replacement for sunglasses.
Light - while essential for sight - is also challenging for the
visual system to cope with. Nearly two-thirds of people (64%) admit to
being bothered by harsh or bright lighting conditions on a daily basis.
The coping mechanisms adopted when light becomes troublesome include
shading or averting the eyes, turning down the brightness of digital
devices and turning off room lights. Actions which are
certainly inconvenient, and for some behaviors such as squinting, have
the potential to cause visual discomfort.
Introducing ACUVUE® OASYS with Transitions™
Ten years in development, ACUVUE
® OASYS with Transitions™ is a first-of-its-kind light-responsive
contact lens
that combines the proven senofilcon A material with a photochromic
additive copolymerized homogeneously throughout the lens matrix.
ACUVUE
® OASYS with Transitions™ seamlessly adapts to
balance the amount of indoor and outdoor light entering the eye,
including filtering blue light* and blocking UV rays.
- The lens blocks up to 15% of light indoors, mainly in the high energy visible (HEV) range, and up to 70% of visible light at full activation.
- It begins to darken as soon as it is exposed to sunlight, is dark in 45 seconds, and fades back within 90 seconds.
- In objective measures of functional vision, ACUVUE® OASYS
with Transitions™ has been shown to deliver significant improvements in
both the partially-activated (outdoor state) and inactivated states
(indoor state) over the leading reusable contact lens.
- In subjective clinical evaluations, ACUVUE® OASYS with
Transitions™ has been shown to be superior in multiple indoors and
outdoors performance metrics over the leading reusable contact lens.
- Among those with a preference, ACUVUE® OASYS with Transitions™ was preferred over the leading reusable lens.
