Acuvue 2

As an evolution of the original Acuvue contact lenses, Acuvue 2 was first introduced in 1999. The main difference is a reduced edge height which further improves the feel.

In addition the lenses are also - same as the original - designed for two-week daily wear or one-week continuous wear. This means that you put them in, live and sleep in them for seven days and six nights, and then throw them away and start with a fresh pair. The thin design allows oxygen to be transmitted to the eye.
