If you currently use glasses or contact lenses, or have just been prescribed glasses or contact lenses, you need to know about some of the different options available from Acuvue. Before deciding which option is best for you, make sure to read through and think about the differences. Consider your lifestyle and which option will work best for you.

1-Day Acuvue

1-Day Acuvue lenses are the disposable contact lens option from Johnson & Johnson. Basically, 1-Day Acuvue lenses are worn only once, for one day. Each day, a new pair of lenses is used. Some of the benefits of these disposable, one-time use lenses are the feeling of fresh, new lenses each day, flexibility for part-time wear, and low-maintenance care as no messy contact lens solutions are required. Daily disposable contact lenses are also extremely hygienic, as lenses are discarded after use rather than cleaned and re-used, thus reducing the opportunity for bacteria to accumulate. 1-Day are also UV-blocking lenses. UV-blocking lenses help protect the portion of your eyes that are covered by the lenses. Johnson & Johnson offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee on their 1-Day Acuvue contact lenses.
