What Are the Benefits of Acuvue Oasys Hydraclear?

Acuvue Oasys contact lenses contain Hydraclear Plus, an agent shown to help lenses retain moisture for more comfortable wear. Oasys lenses are approved for patients with astigmatism and dry eyes.

Design

• Acuvue Oasys lenses are designed to reduce eye dryness in contact wearers who are exposed to long work hours, poor air circulation, frequent ground or air travel and other environmental factors that cause tired, dry eyes, according to Medical News Today.

Retain Moisture

• Oasys's trademarked Hydraclear Plus provides moisture-rich wetting agents, minimizing the need for re-wetting eye drops, according to Acuvue.

Comfort

• Breathable materials, such as silicone hydrogel, allow oxygen to pass through lenses and reach the eyes. Silicone hydrogel is a smooth material which allows 98 percent of available oxygen to penetrate, according to Acuvue.

Sun Protection

• These contact lenses contain the highest level of UV-A/UV-B protection available, according to LASIK Center Medical Group. They protect eyes against 96 percent of UV-A rays and 99 percent of UV-B rays.

Special Features

• Oasys lenses are tinted light blue, to make them easier to spot in a lens case or if dropped, and feature a special mark indicating whether the lens is inside out..

Extended Wear

• Oasys lenses are approved for extended wear (up to six consecutive nights and seven consecutive days) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, according to Medical News Today. Lenses worn only by day and stored at night can be used for up to two weeks before needing replacement.
