Users

• Acuvue Moist contacts are available to people who are nearsighted or farsighted. People who have astigmatism or other vision problems may not be ideal candidates for Acuvue Moist lenses.

Disposable

• Acuvue Moist is a 1-day contact lens, meaning that it is disposable. Each day you use a new pair, eliminating the need for contact lens solution.

Technology

• The "moist" part of the name is due to a technology Acuvue calls LACREON. This technology keeps the moisture in the contact for extended periods of time, making it comfortable to wear, especially to those who display allergy symptoms such as itchy eyes.

Handling

• Acuvue Moist contacts have one of two notations on the lenses themselves (either 123 or AV) that helps users insert the contacts right-side out. Always wash your hands before putting in your Acuvue Moist contacts.
