UV PROTECTION
Consumer research has shown that UV
protection is an important lens attribute for patients. In
fact, 3 of 4 patients report that they want UV protection
from their contact lenses, and 1 of 2 say they would switch
brands for UV protection.
Since 1997, ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses
have led the way in UV blocking. All ACUVUE® Brand Contact
Lenses are FDA approved to help provide protection against
transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea and into
the eye.*
‡ACUVUE® ADVANCE™ Brand Contact Lenses block
approximately 90% of UV-A radiation and 99% of UV-B
radiation. All other ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses block
approximately 82% of UV-A radiation and 97% of UV-B
radiation. On the average, contact lenses without UV
blocking block approximately 10% of UV-A radiation and 30%
of UV-B radiation 1.

WARNING: 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. You should continue to use
UV-absorbing eyewear as directed. NOTE: Long-term exposure
to UV radiation is one of the risk factors associated with
cataracts. Exposure is based on a number of factors such as
environmental conditions (altitude, geography, cloud cover)
and personal factors (extent and nature of outdoor
activities). UV-Blocking contact lenses help provide
protection against harmful UV radiation. However, clinical
studies have not been done to demonstrate that wearing
UV-Blocking contact lenses reduces the risk of developing
cataracts or other eye disorders.

easier by letting you see if your lens is inside out.

look at it from the side, you should be able to see the
1-2-3 written correctly. If the lens is inside out, the
1-2-3 will appear reversed.
On ACUVUE®, if you place your lens on your finger and look
