** 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. UV transmission measured with -1.00 lens.
* Oxygen transmissibility at centre of a -3.00D lens using boundary-corrected, edge-corrected Dk values. Units: (cm/sec) (ml O2/ml x mm Hg) at 35° C. Dk determined via polarographic method.
† Based on in vitro data; clinical studies have not been done directly linking differences in lysozyme profile with specific clinical benefits.
Packing solution contains boric acid and disodium tetraborate (sodium borate) to control the pH of the solution.
