Brand Contact Lenses with HYDRACLEAR

ACUVUE® ADVANCE™ Brand Contact Lenses with HYDRACLEAR™ A New Generation of Contact Lenses

Finally there's relief for lens wearers, hope for those who have dropped out reluctantly and want to wear lenses again (approximately 11 million Americans) and incentive for those who want to try lenses but were afraid of the uncomfortable side effects. Thanks to a new brand of contact lenses from Vistakon, a Division of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc., those days of discomfort may be more manageable.

Introducing ACUVUE® ADVANCE™ Brand Contact Lenses, the first and only lens to combine the best features of today's leading contact lenses into one. Using a remarkable material called HYDRACLEAR™, ACUVUE® ADVANCE™ Brand lenses offer exceptional long lasting comfort proven to last up to nine hours. And the eyes speak for themselves: ACUVUE® ADVANCE™ provides three times more oxygen than the leading contact lens brand. In a recent clinical trial using ACUVUE® ADVANCE™, new contact lens wearers experienced minimal eye redness that was comparable to those who wore no lenses.

While contact lens innovation has come a long way, there hasn't been a lens that combines the best innovations, until now. Traditional hydrogel lenses are comfortable and allow the eye to stay moist, but don't allow the eye to "breathe." Silicone hydrogels allow the eye to breathe, but are not as comfortable.

HYDRACLEAR™, the Vistakon brand name for the remarkable moisture-rich wetting agent that permeates the new ACUVUE® ADVANCE™ lenses, creates a unique silky-soft feel and provides exceptional comfort that lasts all day. In clinical trials, 87 percent of ACUVUE® ADVANCE™ Brand wearers reported they were still comfortable after nine hours or more of wear, compared to 69 percent of wearers of Focus® Night & Day™ (silicone hydrogel). ACUVUE® ADVANCE™ lenses also were rated better than Focus® Night & Day™ in overall clarity of vision in daily activities and reduced eye redness.

In addition, these lenses experience very low protein build-up and offer the highest level of UV-blocking+* available in today's soft contact lens market, with more than 90 percent of UVA rays and 99 percent of UVB rays blocked+.

ACUVUE® ADVANCE™ is available in the offices of eye care professionals throughout the U.S. and Canada.
