What type of patients are ACUVUE® OASYS™ Brand Contact Lenses with HYDRACLEAR™ PLUS meant for?
ACUVUE® OASYS™ Brand Contact Lenses are meant for current contact lens wearers especially patients experiencing eyes that feel tired and dry from exposure to challenging environments, such as working at the computer, and patients frequently using rewetting drops.
HYDRACLEAR™ Plus is our brand name for our proprietary technology that allows us to use a higher volume of a moisture rich wetting agent in a new, state of the art formulation. This creates a more wettable, ultra smooth contact lens, especially for challenging environments that make eyes feel tired and dry.
The 8.4 base curve seems very steep OR Why do you only offer 1 BC? What range of patients can I fit with this lens?
This base curve/diameter combination creates a sag value just between the 2 base curves of ACUVUE® 2 and ACUVUE® ADVANCE™, and has performed well in clinical studies of over 1000 patients with K readings ranging from 6.75mm to 8.65mm.
You talk about feelings of dry and tired eyes? Does this mean you recommend this lens for clinical dry eye patients?
ACUVUE® OASYS™ is indicated for wear in healthy eyes with the need for refractive correction. This lens simply performs well in environments that cause feelings of tired, and dry eyes in patients with otherwise healthy eyes. We felt it was important to call this out as such situations have a major impact on the overall wearing experience of most full-time contact lens wearers today.
