1-Day Acuvue TruEye

1-Day Acuvue TruEye is the world's FIRST daily disposable contact lens that comes in a new breathable silicone hydrogel material called Narafilcon A - an innovative silicone hydrogel material saturated with a locked-in super smooth wetting agent which does not slow release onto the eye.  Narafilcon A delivers 98% oxygen flux to the cornea.  

Acuvue's new TruEye contact lenses are truly remarkable as patients will regain incredible white eyes and comfort at the end of the day because the super wet and super smooth surface has the lowest friction coefficient of any daily disposable lens on the market today - even exceeding 1-Day Acuvue Moist. This is great news for contact lens wearers experiencing pink eyes after a long day.

Once again, we have updated the acuvue rebate center showing the latest Acuvue Mail-in Rebates available from Vistakon, the makers of all Acuvue products.

So what has changed? Well - not as much as last time (back in January). 

Rebates are ranging from $20 to $100 based on buying 8 boxes.

Good news for Acuvue Oasys for Presbyopia wearers: This lens was added to the  Acuvue Rebate Program - a $30 rebate is now available for this lens similar to the other Oasys products.

Even better news for first time wearers of Acuvue Oasys: An impressive $100 rebate is available (Unfortunately this first time wearer rebate doesn't apply to Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism or Acuvue Oasys for Presbyopia).

In general, all rebates are based on buying 8 boxes and submitting 2 box tops.

Last not least certain retailers are excluded from this rebate promotion. When you buy from Costco®, WALMART®, Sam's Club® , 1-800 CONTACTS®, Sears Optical, and Target Optical, you are NOT eligible for this manufacturer mail-in rebate.

1-Day Acuvue TruEye is the world's first daily disposable silicone-hydrogel lens - silicone hydrogel lenses are usually available as weekly or monthly lenses.

Should I get daily disposable contact lenses or am I better off with weekly or monthly lenses? Nowadays every dollar counts. Have you ever wondered what the true cost of wearing contact lenses was?  Sure, there is the convenience that comes with daily disposable lenses, as you never have to worry about cleaning and disinfecting. Plus, in case you loose a lens, it's not a big deal. But, aren't weekly lenses much cheaper even after adding the cost for cleaning and rinsing solutions?

Long story short - we are comparing the 'true' cost of wearing Acuvue lenses using our own formula and showing you a chart that calculates a price-per-day for all popular Acuvue lenses.
