Pros and Cons of the 1 Day Acuvue Contact Lens

The 1 Day Acuvue Contact Lens is not for everybody. It’s especially right for certain people, like me. For three years this is the contact lens I’ve worn and this is what I’ve learned from that experience. Here are the pros and cons.

Acuvue 1 Day Pros

No chemicals.
No cleaning.
Get fresh lenses every day.
No keeping track of when to change lenses.
Reduced chance of eye infections.
Great comfort all day.
Work great for dry eyes, especially the 1 Day Accuvue Moist.

What about cons?

Lenses cost more per lens.
Compare total cost of these compared to others. Don’t forget chemicals.

Every body is different. It might be that you could find a more comfortable lens…

At first it bothered me to throw away lenses every day. Then when I thought about all the chemicals I no longer buy and all the eliminated time I had spent cleaning lenses, it didn’t seem so bad. Having fresh lenses all the time is a huge plus.

Another lens in this family, the Moist version, has the same kind of feel and fit. It has a different design that’s extra moist to prevent the lens from drying your eyes. I like the feel of those as well or better than the regular 1 Day. Especially for anybody with dry eyes, the 1 Day lenses may work very well.

The 1 Day Acuvue Contact Lens is so easy to care for and to wear. The savings in chemicals and time makes it worth a look. That’s saying nothing about the comfort and clear vision you get.
