For patients who wear their lenses intensely * and put a priority on the long-term health of their eyes • Embedded PVP mimics the mucin on both the cornea and eyelid, minimizing lens-eye interaction to make 1-DAY ACUVUE® TruEye® Brand Contact Lenses nearly invisible to the eye itself • Clinically shown to be comparable to the natural eye on comfort and 5 of 6 measures of ocular health after 365 days of daily wear ‡1 • Highest level of UV blocking † § available in a contact lens PVP=polyvinylpyrrolidone. * Intense wear=Patients who wear lenses ≥14 hours a day, ≥5 days a week. ‡ Comparable to no lens wear on comfort and 5 out of 6 measures of ocular health (limbal hyperemia, corneal vascularization, corneal staining, bulbar conjunctival hyperemia, and papillary conjunctivitis. The sixth measure was conjunctival staining.) ACUVUE ® Brand Contact Lenses are indicated for vision correction. As with any contact lens, eye problems, including corneal ulcers, can develop. Some wearers may experience mild irritation, itching or discomfort.

You should continue to use UV-absorbing eyewear as directed. NOTE: Long-term exposure to UV radiation is one of the risk factors associated with cataracts. Exposure is based on a number of factors such as environmental conditions (altitude, geography, cloud cover) and personal factors (extent and nature of outdoor activities). UV-blocking contact lenses help provide protection against harmful UV radiation. However, clinical studies have not been done to demonstrate that wearing UV-blocking contact lenses reduces the risk of developing cataracts or other eye disorders. Consult your eye care practitioner for more information. Reference: 1. Morgan PB, Chamberlain P, Moody K, Maldonado-Codina C.
