Description

Contact lenses Acuvue has long been known inThe United States of America. The first pair was released twenty-eight years ago. Since then, they are in great demand all over the world and have accumulated a lot of positive feedback.

One-day Acuvue contact lenses are designed to improve your vision without changing the color of your eyes (only if they are not colored). They help with myopia and hyperopia.

The outer limb ring of the lenses is slightly darker,which increases the contrast between the iris and sclera, while the inner translucent pattern adds depth and brightness to the iris. That is, the color of your eyes becomes more intense and bright.

- Comfort.A moist pillow makes the lens comfortable for daily wearing. The surface of the lens is ultra-smooth. This means that the lids do not feel it and slide on it very easily. The percentage of moisture content - from thirty-eight to fifty-eight (depending on the lens type).
