Acuvue contacts by Johnson & Johnson is a name well known all over the circle of contact wearers. This brand of contacts are a very popular option for contact wearers globally. Acuview contacts are especially popular in North America, with the market share hovering around 70% by some claims. Here we put these contactlens to the test and dissect the pros and cons of these popular lenses.

While many reviews may go into unnecessary fluff, here I will outline why you should or should not purchase these contacts.

Facts (Or what the manufacturer claims):

Pros:

  1. Acuview contact lenses are generally very comfortable.
  2. Hydraclear helps prevent contac lenses from drying out prematurely.
  3. These contact lenses are very thin and add to the comfort factor.

  5. Fairly inexpensive should you find a good deal.
  6. They can last longer than the recommended wear time.
  7. High level of UV Protection.

Cons:

  1. Can dry out eyes should you fall asleep with them on. (Wake up with blurry vision)
  2. Can tear easily so be gentle with the Acuvue Advance contacts and if possible, use a Non-rub saline solution.
  3. Although they are formulated to prevent dryness, itchy eyes can still be problematic.

Arguments:
