Why choose ACUVUE® products for kids?

A more common condition than you may think

Concern about children aged 12 and younger having the maturity to care for contact lenses is among the most common reasons optometrists do not tend to offer them to younger patients. However, results of one study about children, teens and contact lenses, the Contact Lenses in Pediatrics Study, indicate that children as young as eight are capable of providing adequate lens care.

 

Lenses that fit children's busy lives

 

ACUVUE® offers a number of options for daily wear or daily disposable contact lenses that make it easier for children and teens to successfully wear contact lenses. For example:

  • 1-DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® offers children a convenient daily disposable modality as well as LACREON® Technology for long-lasting comfort
  • ACUVUE® OASYS® with HYDRACLEAR® PLUS helps retain the eyes' own moisture for a smooth-feeling surface and optimal comfort – even for new contact lenses wearers
  • For children with astigmatism, 1-DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® for ASTIGMATISM and ACUVUE® OASYS® for ASTIGMATISM provide freedom from glasses, particularly for sports or other activities, without sacrificing vision clarity and stability
  • ACUVUE® is the only major contact lens brand that offers high levels of UV-blocking across its entire range of products, * a feature that is so important for young eyes

 

Order ACUVUE® products

 

*All ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses have Class 1 or Class 2 UV-blocking to help provide protection against transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea and into the eye. 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.
