There was a time, not long ago, when people with astigmatism could not wear contacts. Fortunately, that is no longer true andAcuvue Advance for Astigmatismwith HYDRACLEAR technology has taken on the obstacle of providing crisp, crystal clear vision to those with astigmatism.
These contacts are a part of the Ultra Comfort series of contact lenses. The good news is, that is no longer accurate and Acuvue Advance for Astigmatismwith HYDRACLEAR technologies has taken on the problem of delivering crisp, clear vision to those with astigmatism.
This technology (the accelerated slope of thickness) interacts with the lens when the eye blinks, helping to keep the lens in place and avoiding the usual lens rotation that tends to bother people with astigmatism. This translates into less intermittent blurring and clearer, sharper vision for astigmatic patients.
Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism: 2 Technologies, 1 Result.
These lenses have fused the very best of Hydraclear technology with ASD to give wearers suffering from astigmatism the crispest, most comfortable vision possible.
HYDRACLEAR (galyfilcon A) coats the interior and exterior of the contact lens, providing a profoundly smooth and silky surface for the eyes. The hydrophilic substance is not coated on like with other brands, it is part of the lens itself giving silky soft comfort all day long.
ASD was introduced by Acuvue after close study of high speed film and computer animation of the interaction between contact lens and eyes. They discovered just as gravity holds everything down, the same is true for lenses adhering to your eye.
The challenge nevertheless was if someone moved too quickly, or changed their body position, gravity worked against the lens and as such it will move around producing blurred vision, a difficulty worsened with those with astigmatism.
The solution for this gave birth to ASD which instead of counting on the law of gravity, used 4 stablization sector points on the contact lens which actively work together with your eye lids natural function to ensure they are firmly in place – no matter the activity level of the wearer. In fact, the pressure your eyelids exert actually help keep Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism lenses in place!
These two combined technologies have given wearers the double advantage of never before experienced comfort and exquisite vision clarity.
