Acuvue 2 contacts are similar in design and features to the regular Acuvue brand lenses. They are best suited for people who wear contacts on a daily basis and who enjoy the sensation of comfortable, breathable lenses.
Their unique design makes them even easier to insert than the regular Acuvue lenses and of course, they are lightly tinted and come with “inside out” markings so you always know which way they are facing.
Acuvue 2: Superior Fit
These lenses have a reduced height on the edges which means the surface of the eye and the lens interact minimally providing exceptional comfort. They are suited for wear for up to two weeks and as a result of their lightweight design and frequent changing schedule, they are some of the best contacts on the market for your eye health.
Like all Acuvue products, Acuvue 2 lenses are made with UV protection. Many people do not realize that UV protection is as important for the eyes as it is for the skin. Corneal sunburn can occur with repeated exposure to bursts of UVA and UVB rays if the eyes are not adequately protected. These lenses are class 2 UV blockers, making them an excellent choice for even the most enthusiastically active wearers.
Vistakon, the subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson that manufactures this product, explains that more than 70% of Acuvue 2 wearers get better than 20/20 vision, according to clinical trials.
Having worn these contacts personally, I can attest to the fact not only do I have better than 20/20 vision but the comfort level is quite consistent throughout the day. In the past prior to this sort of technology coming out, the lenses would feel fresh and moist when you put them in, but as the day wore on, my eyes would start feeling drier and irritable.
This was due to the fact lenses then (and many even today) coated the outside surface of the lens with the wetting agent. The problem with this is with each blink, small portions of that solution wear away.
These lenses however employ a new technology where infusing the wetting agent inside the lens material itself gives it the ability to constantly provide an invigorating feeling all day long even in harsh and dry conditions.
These lenses are considered soft sphericals and since they are made from a hydrophilic or water attracting composite, they tend to absord moisture thereby keeping the contact soft and comfortable on the eye. Another key advantage with these lenses is unlike other lenses, these are precision manufactured in an identical manner giving you consistent, crisp vision each and every time you wear them.
It’s easy to see why these lenses are quickly becoming one of the nation’s leading choices for outstanding visual acuity, comfort and handling.
