1-Day Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism

According to some press releases and optometry related blogs, 1-Day Acuvue Moist will be soon available as a toric version. This is great news for patients with Astigmatism; like 1-Day Acuvue Moist they offer a very convenient way to wear contact lenses. These new daily disposable toric lenses eliminate the need for cleaning solutions, lens cases, or any type of maintenance effort!

With LACREON™ technology they feel fresh longer due to the water-holding ingredient, similar to that found in natural tears.

We assume that 1-Day Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism will be first introduced in the UK with other European countries to follow before they will be available in the US and Canada. (We'll keep an eye on the roll-out announcements).

 What is LACREON™?

LACREON™ is a technology that permanently embeds a water holding ingredient, similar to that found in natural tears. The ingredient is embedded into one of Vistakon's lens materials - etafilcon A - and available with the popular 1-Day Acuvue Moist  and 1-Day Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism lenses (by the way: this technology is not present in the standard 1-Day Acuvue lenses). The moisture is permanently kept in the lens, thus resulting in keeping the eyes feeling fresh and more comfortable all day long. In addition to this silky smooth cushion the reduced surface friction allows the eyelid to glide over the lens easily.
