This technology helps reduce the frictional en- ergy, or amount of work it takes for the eyelid to slide across the contact lens, for effortless blinking (See p 17). Other changes that clinicians should know about: • The blister package solution has been opti- mized to mimic the electrolyte concentration of natural tears • Larger optic zone to help cover pupils in low-light conditions • Increased lens diameter to help ensure full limbal coverage • 4th-generation advanced manufacturing to enable launch with a full SKU range and with the same Class 1 UV blocking capabilities † * you've come to expect from the ACUVUE OASYS® Brand In this issue, you'll fnd more details about the science behind this lens and practitioners' clinical experience with it during an in-market assess- ment. We are very excited about the potential for ACUVUE OASYS® 1-Day to provide patients with demanding days with a better contact lens experience. Read on to hear more of what your colleagues are saying about this new lens, and the science behind its exceptional performance. • 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. Lenses should not be prescribed if patients have any eye infection, or experience eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, redness or other eye problems.

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 yet been done to demonstrate that wearing UV-blocking contact lenses reduces the risk of developing cataracts or other ocular disorders. Consult your eye care practitioner for more information.
