1-DAY ACUVUE® MOIST for ASTIGMATISM
1-DAY ACUVUE® MOIST for ASTIGMATISM lenses are a winning combination of two unique technologies united in a daily disposable lens for astigmatism: Accelerated Stabilisation Design (ASD) for clear, stable vision1,2,3 and LACREON® technology or exceptional comfort from morning to night.4 They also have high levels of UV-blocking for protection against the transmission of UV.*

*All ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses have Class 1 or Class 2 UV-blocking to help provide protection against transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea and into the eye. 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.
Packing solution contains boric acid and disodium tetraborate (sodium borate) to control the pH of the solution.

Accelerated Stabilisation Design (ASD)
- ASD harnesses the natural pressures of a blinking eye on its four stabilisation zones to orientate lenses quickly and deliver clear and stable vision throughout the day5-7
- ASD lenses are minimally influenced by gravity and have negligible thickness variation under the eyelids, which helps maintain clear and stable vision regardless of eye movements, as well as providing your patients with a comfortable lens feeling5-7
- Visual acuity as good as wearing spectacles8
Talk to your patients about ASD Technology and show them our consumer video at www.acuvue.co.uk/innovation
LACREON® Technology
- To help keep patients satisfied, the 1-DAY ACUVUE® MOIST family features LACREON® Technology, which provides exceptional comfort from morning to night9
- It employs a unique process to permanently embed a water-holding ingredient (PVP), which does not blink away10
Talk to your patients about LACREON® Technology, providing your patients' eyes with moisture and comfort when they need it most - at the end of the day. Show them our consumer video at: www.acuvue.co.uk/innovation
UV-blocker
- 1-DAY ACUVUE® MOIST for ASTIGMATISM helps to reduce UV exposure with Class 2 UV-blocking*
- Patients are concerned about protecting their eyes as well as skin11
