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 2010 Acuvue Mail-in Rebates available from Vistakon, the makers of all Acuvue products.

So what has changed? Unfortunately, many of the mail-in rebates perviously available, are no longer offered - this includes the mail-in rebate offers for the Acuvue Advance and the Acuvue 2 product family as well as for Acuvue Bifocal.

Available 2010 rebates are ranging from $20 to $75 covering the following lenses: 1-Day Acuvue Moist, Acuvue Oasys, Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism, and Acuvue Oasys for Presbyopia.

As before, 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.

With these two new lenses (both were introduced in 2009), Vistakon and CIBA Vision (besides some other manufacturers) serve a growing market: baby-boomers (and beyond) coming of age and requiring reading glasses.  For people in this market segment multifocal lenses are an attractive alternative to spectacles. Air Optix Aqua Multifocal and Acuvue Oasys for Presbyopia want to own a significant share of this market. We looked at the differences with this comparison chart.
