SUNGLASSES CAN ALLOW UP TO 45% OF UV RAYS TO REACH THE EYES (Depending on refl ections, sun angle, frame size, frame shape, and frame position) BRIMMED HATS CAN ALLOW UP TO 33% OF UV RAYS TO REACH THE EYES (Depending on refl ections, sun angle, brim size, brim shape, and brim position) When it comes to comprehensive ocular UV protection, sunglasses and hats aren't always enough. Help protect their eyes all year long Regardless of the season, total outdoor ocular UV exposure is nearly the same. Additionally, the majority of ocular UV exposure is not from direct sunlight—it's from indirect and refl ected radiation— limiting the ability of hats and sunglasses to provide complete ocular protection. That's why it's important for your patients to use a more comprehensive approach to UV protection including UV-blocking† contact lenses along with wrap-around sunglasses and a wide- brimmed hat. Reach for the reliable UV protection of ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses for all your patients.

As with any contact lens, eye problems, including corneal ulcers, can develop. Some wearers may experience mild irritation, itching or discomfort.

WARNING: UV-absorbing contact lenses are NOT substitutes for protective UV-absorbing eyewear such as UV-absorbing goggles or sunglasses, because they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area. 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.
