Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism (Toric) - Overview

Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism

Brand new and introduced in June 2008, these lenses are specifically designed for people with Astigmatism. Astigmatism is the most common vision problem, caused by an irregular shape of the cornea. Astigmatism can usually be corrected with contact lenses, such as Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism. They will help take away the blur that is caused by this condition.

These lenses come with Hydraclear technology and UVA and UVB blocking which blocks more than 90 percent of UVA rays and 99 percent of UVB rays.

Hydraclear ensures a long lasting soft, moisture rich and silky feel. In addition they have the same reduced edge-height design as Acuvue 2.

acuvue oasys for astigmatism

"Well..having had years of trying lenses that didn't go blurry throughout the day, I finally came across these beauties! I've used them now for 6 months without the need to grab my specs to give my eyes a break! Fantastic! The most comfortable lenses I've ever experienced. I wore them to Glastonbury keeping the same pair in for the 6 days I was there, sleeping in them too.(designed for up to 6 days continuous wear) No probs! Love 'em. They've changed my life!"

They are Okay....

I wear the Astigmatism Oasis ones, and they are alright. They made my eye go completely red once, when I took it out, my eye went back to normal? Does anyone know what that was?

Aside from that, pretty comfortable, a little dry, since I have dry eyes (not sure if this is just me...).

Terrible Lenses

"These contact lenses literally leave full red rings around my eye when I take them out. They make my eye extremely dry, red, and water to the point where I can only wear them 4 days a week and for less than 6 hours. They are also difficult to get in place. If anyone knows of any other lenses for astigmatism that aren't horrible please let me know. Acuvue 2 was even much better." (Add a comment)

THE LENSES!!!

"My old contact lenses were pretty okay. but sometimes, i could really feel them and they got extremely dry, right as i got to maybe 3rd or 4th period. The Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism are literally 1000000000000 times better. i can barely feel them, they don't get dry, and the vision is 20/20.

Hated the Acuvue Oasys

"Worst contact lenses I have ever tried. These lenses were incredibly uncomfortable, and made my peripheral vision blurry. My eyes were sore for hours after taking them out. To top it off, when I got them checked by my optometrist, I couldn't even read all of the letters on the eye chart. I don't know what the fuss is about, because I will never again put these lenses in my eyes." (Add a comment)

Comfortable

"but constant blurry vision: bad for reading but good for just socializing. The lens is quite comfortable, but easy to scratch. I have constant blurry vision (with this lens in my dominant eye, and just the plain 'Acuvue Oasys' lens in the other eye). My lenses are fine if I am socializing, but a nightmare if I am reading or using the computer. My non-dominant eye also has a weak astigmatism (-0.5) but this lens is not bad for that power, so I have to wear a normal lens in that eye - and my vision suffers." (Add a comment)

not so happy with these

"I've been having many problems with these lenses ever since my doctor switched me to them because of my astigmatism. not only does it take like 10 minutes some mornings to get them adjusted right so they're not blurry, they really irritate my eyes. My eyes have become very red, watery, very sensitive to light ( i can't even wear sunglasses outside, they still hurt) and they hurt! I'm definitely switching to a different brand." (Add a comment)

Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism

"I hate these contacts. I've worn toric lenses for years and never had any problems until my doc made me switch to these a few months ago because they're a "superior product." They slip around on my eye a lot, which makes them go out of focus (they're not in backward). Then they dry out too fast. I'm going through a bottle of drops a week. Plus, I can only wear these so-called "two-week disposables" for a couple of days." (Add a comment)

"Definitely comfortable but for some reason after 1 week of use they don't slip in well in the morning and I have to fiddle with them to get them aligned. If I don't manually move them my vision is blurry.

"... and loved them. Recently, when I had my eyes checked, my optometrist told me I needed the Oasys lenses for astigmatism. I absolutely hate them. Half the time they're blurry. They also seem to stay folded a lot of the time. In fact, it's not unusual for me to almost blink them out during the day. I could see just fine and was very comfortable before I got these new lenses. Is there any way I can just go back to what I was wearing?" (Add a comment)

Acuvue Contacts for Astigmatism (Comment by pro)

"Yes, Acuvue has different products for astigmatism to help people with astigmatism get crisp, clear vision.

They have the Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism and also the Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism - which is their newest product.

I have fit my patients with both products and they work very well. I have had patients say that they really love the comfort and the vision with the new Oasys for Astigmatism lens. So I do fit my patients with that one when it is appropriate - since it is the latest and the greatest product available for my patients with astigmatism." (Add a comment)

They are awesome

"I started out with some Focus Torics then Freshlook Toric. My doc felt these would be the most comfortable but after wearing them for while I'm getting out the re-wetting drops within minutes of putting them in. So, they just became too painful to wear. Then I saw the new Oasys lenses, so i decided to give them a try. Once I was fitted, these were just a revelation. T hey feel like nothing, they are awesome. I can wear them all day long, on windy days, at work in front of the computer, no more re-wetting drops since I got them. Thank you Vistakon!" (Add a comment)

Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism (reviewed by pro)

"We got our Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism kit this week and i have already put about 6 patients into it. its a good lens, not a significant step-up IMO from the Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism. Same (or very, very similar) design, but upgrading to the better senofilcon material and ditching that galyfilcon (acuvue advance material) that has the lipid deposition problems, so thats good. its not the be-all-and-end-all of astigmatic vision correction and it has its problems, but with the decent design of the lens, excellent health of the material, HUGE brand recognition and being backed by Vistakon's ultra-effective direct-to-consumer marketing, i expect it to QUICKLY be the market leader. which is fine with me.

i have a few beefs to air out with Vistakon real quick however, none of them big:

1) the direct-to-patient marketing is irritating, guys. ok maybe in your sales meetings its been proven that it works, but us O.D.'s find it maddening. i get so tired of people with 6 diopters of astigmatism or k's of 52.00 (or 38.00!) coming in asking for "that acuvue lens for astigmatism", as well as the BS "certificate for a free pair". EVERYONE GETS A FREE PAIR OF EVERY LENS at every office i've ever heard of. no one needs a "certificate" printed from a cheeseball website for that. why not market more to the doc and less to the patient? i guess you're just following the "Viagra" lead. cant blame you too much, it must work. but you're really the only major manufacturer doing it, and i personally am irritated by it.

2) you guys were the 1st to name/label a lens to be "for astigmatism" instead of toric. i know why you did it...b/c patients dont know what "toric" is, they have to have it explained to them (nevermind the fact that virtually no one can say or spell the word "astigmatism", so instead of explaining what "toric" means we have to tutor them on how to spell/say "astigmatism"). patients with astigmatism know they need a lens for astigmatism, and your lenses say that. so it all makes sense. i get it. BUT...it had an effect that maybe you didnt anticipate: you're taking the doctor and the doc's knowledge out of the equation. is that what you mean to do? you're telling astigmats that your lens is for them, and you claim this is a "new" idea. i even had one patient this week who was SHOCKED to find out that acuvue lenses for astigmatism were not the "first" lenses for astigmatism. plus i get so tired of writing Rx's that say "acuvue advance for astigmatism". if you want to be like Viagra so much, come up with some catchy ONE WORD, TWO-SYLLABLE, LESS-THAN-8-LETTER name for your lens. i have to write this 20x a day and it gets tedious. i'd rather just write something like "AVAIRA" (hint hint), or even "AVAIRA TORIC". you're giving me carpel tunnel lol

3) why not do something about your optic zone and generally-less-than-average optical quality designs? you guys have one of the best materials i've ever used (the Oasys material...senofilcon), but then you go ruin it with inferior optics and a tiny optic zone-the smallest optic zone in the market. i get multiple problems from it. it seems such a waste...like building a brand new Indian motorcycle from the ground up with top-of-the-line everything, then finishing it off with a putrid baby-poop yellow paint job and beach-cruiser bicycle fenders.

4) and why does every sphere you make have to be a 14.0 diameter? cant you make ONE lens that will fit a larger-than-average cornea? just wondering.

but i'll use your "johnson & johnson vistakon acuvue oasys for astigmatism" lens b/c its a pretty good product and you provided me with a kit & lots of trials, not to mention i'm sure i'll see your new "johnson & johnson vistakon acuvue oasys for astigmatism" commercials in between "viva viagra!" ditties, so patients will definitely be asking. i guess its not so bad, we will make a big $4 for every box we sell."

Buying Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism lenses is easy - basically there are 2 options: You can buy directly from your Eye Care Professional or from one of the larger offline retail stores (including optical chains and mass merchandisers such as Walmart, Target and CostCo) or you can take advantage of buying your contact lenses online

Buying online is easy and convenient plus you can find great deals and rebates from online stores. The competition is fierce, so it pays out to do some research and to hunt for good prices.

How to find a reliable online contact lens store

Here are some additional tips when buying your Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism lenses from an online retailer.

{loadposition adsense2}

Find out how long the online retailer has been in business.

Do they offer a secure online ordering process with multiple payment options?
Read what other customers say on consumer review sites.
Check their return and customer service policy (is there a 1800 number available?).
Consider placing a smaller 'test' order first (i.e. buy 2 boxes).
Make sure there are no hidden (consulting) fees and compare total prices including shipping & handling. Also compare prices based on buying larger volumes (i.e. buying 8 boxes instead of 2 boxes can result in a significant lower price per box)
Call customer service and ask whether they have Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism in stock.
Factor in mail-in rebates but be aware of their restrictions! I.e. certain rebates are only available to first-time purchasers, other mail-in rebates require the proof of an eye exam.

Ask your eye care professional to give you a copy of the prescription and take note of their office phone numbers. Online retailers will ask for a valid prescription which they usually will verify through a passive validation check with your eye care professional or eye doctor.

Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism vs Oasys for Astigmatism

2008-08-27T07:00:00Z

For patients with astigmatism we have compared the 2 toric lenses Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism and Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism. Latter one was just recently introduced (June 2008), so we had a closer look at both lenses to show you the differences.

Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism Patient Instruction Guide

2008-04-05T22:12:13Z

Introduction

The information and instructions contained in this booklet apply only to the Acuvue Oasys Contact Lenses for Astigmatism with Hydraclear Plus (senofilcon A) thereafter referred to as your contact lenses.

Your contact lenses are intended to be used for daily and extended wear within the Vistakon single use disposable wear or frequent/planned lens replacement system.

After the accumulated wearing period prescribed by your Eye Care Professional, your contact lenses should be discarded and replaced with a new sterile pair. By replacing your contact lenses on a regular basis, lens deposits, which can affect vision and cause irritation and discomfort to the eye, have little chance to build up over time as with conventional lens wear. When you discard the lens, you dispose of potential deposit build-up problems.

Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism are visibility tinted with a UV Blocker. An ultraviolet (UV) radiation absorbing ingredient is used to block UV radiation.

Your contact lenses are soft spherical, aspherical or toric lenses. They are made from a “water-loving” (hydrophilic) material that has the ability to absorb water, making the lens soft and flexible. They differ from other lenses available because of the way they are manufactured. Simply put, the multi-patented manufacturing process that took years to perfect, makes disposable or frequent replacement possible. Since the lenses are produced identically one after another, you will experience the same excellent comfort and vision, lens after lens after lens.

For your eye health, it is important that your contact lenses be worn only as prescribed by your Eye Care Professional. He or she should be kept fully aware of your medical history and will give you a total program of care based on your specific needs. He or she will review with you all instructions for lens handling and care, including how to safely and easily open the packaging. You will also be taught how to properly insert and remove lenses. This booklet will reinforce those instructions.

If you have any questions, always ask your Eye Care Professional.

Wearing Restrictions and Indications

Your contact lenses contain a UV Blocker to help protect against transmission of harmful UV radiation to he cornea and into the eye.

The Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism Brand Contact Lenses with Hydraclear Plus (senofilcon A) is indicated for the optical correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and hyperopia) in phakic or aphakic persons with on-diseased eyes who have 1.00D or less of astigmatism.

The Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism Brand Contact Lenses with Hydraclear Plus (senofilcon A) is indicated for the optical correction of visual acuity in phakic or aphakic persons with non-diseased eyes that are hyperopic or myopic and may have 10.00D or less of Astigmatism.

Your Eye Care Professional may prescribe the lenses either for single-use disposable wear or frequent/planned replacement wear with cleaning, disinfection and scheduled replacement. When prescribed for frequent/planned replacement wear, you may clean and disinfect the lenses using a chemical disinfection system only.

Your contact lenses have been approved for daily and extended wear for up to 6 nights/ 7 days of continuous wear. It is recommended that you first be evaluated on a daily wear schedule. If successful, then a gradual introduction of extended wear can be followed as determined by your Eye Care Professional.

Your contact lenses may be prescribed in certain eye conditions and diseases as a bandage lens for the cornea to relieve discomfort and act as a protective bandage. Your Eye Care Professional will tell you if you have such a condition and may prescribe additional medications or replacement schedules for your individual condition. You should never self-treat with a contact lens or eye medications any condition without first being seen by your Eye Care Professional.

Contraindications (reasons not to use)

When wearing contact lenses for vision correction, DO NOT USE your contact lenses when you have any of the following conditions:

Inflammation or infection in or around the eye or eyelids
Any eye disease, injury or abnormality that affects the cornea, conjunctiva or eyelids
Any previously diagnosed condition that makes contact lens wear uncomfortable.
Severe dry eye
Reduced corneal sensitivity (corneal hypoesthesia)
Any systemic disease that may affect the eye or be exaggerated by wearing contact lenses
Allergic reactions of ocular surfaces or surrounding tissues (adnexa) that may be induced or exaggerated by wearing contact lenses or use of contact lens solutions
Allergy to any ingredient, such as mercury or Thimerosal, in a solution which is to be used to care for your contact lenses
Any active corneal infection (bacterial, fungal, protozoal or viral)
If eyes become red or irritated

For THERAPEUTIC USE, your eye care professional may prescribe your contact lenses to aid in the healing process of certain ocular conditions, which may include those listed above.

Warnings

What You Should Know About Contact Lens Wear:

Problems with contact lenses or lens care products could result in serious injury to the eye1. Proper use and care of your contact lenses and lens care products, including lens cases, are essential for the safe use of these products.
Eye problems, including sores or lesions on the cornea (corneal ulcers) can develop rapidly and lead to
loss of vision.
The risk of an infected sore or lesion on the cornea (ulcerative keratitis) is greater for people who wear extended wear contact lenses than for those who wear daily wear lenses.
When daily wear users wear their lenses overnight (outside the approved use), the risk of an infected sore or lesion on the cornea (ulcerative keratitis) is greater than among those who do not wear them while sleeping.
The overall risk of ulcerative keratitis may be reduced by carefully following directions for lens care, including cleaning the lens case.
The risk of ulcerative keratitis among contact lens users who smoke is greater than among non-smokers.
If you experience eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, redness of the eye or other problems, you should immediately remove your lenses and promptly contact your Eye Care Professional.
It is recommended that you see your Eye Care Professional routinely as directed.

Warning: 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. You should continue to use UV absorbing eyewear as directed.

Note: Long-term exposure to UV radiation is one of the risk factors associated with cataracts. Exposure is based on a number of factors such as environmental conditions (altitude, geography, cloud cover) and personal factors (extent and nature of outdoor activities). UV blocking contact lenses help provide protection against harmful UV radiation. However, clinical studies have not been done to demonstrate that wearing UV blocking contact lenses reduces the risk of developing cataracts or other eye disorders. Consult your Eye Care Professional for more information.

Precautions

Handling Precautions

DO NOT use if the sterile blister package is opened or damaged.
Before leaving the Eye Care Professional’s office, you should be able to quickly remove your lenses or you should have someone else available who can remove the lenses for you.
Always wash and rinse your hands before handling your lenses. Do not get cosmetics, lotions, soaps, creams, deodorants or sprays in your eyes or on your lenses. It is best to put on your lenses before putting on makeup. Water-based cosmetics are less likely to damage lenses than oil-based products.
DO NOT touch your contact lenses with your fingers or hands if they are not completely clean, because tiny lens scratches may occur, causing unclear vision and/or injury to your eye.
Carefully follow the handling, insertion, removal and wearing instructions in this booklet and those prescribed by the Eye Care Professional.
Always handle lenses carefully and avoid dropping them.
Never use tweezers or other tools to remove your lenses from the lens container unless specifically indicated for that use. Pour the lens and the packing solution into the hand.
Do not touch the lens with your fingernails.
Close supervision is necessary for the therapeutic use of your contact lenses. Ocular medications used during treatment with a bandage lens should be closely monitored by your Eye Care Professional. In certain ocular conditions only your Eye Care Professional will insert and remove the lenses. In these cases, you should not to handle the lenses yourself.

Lens Wearing Precautions:

You should remove your lenses immediately if your eyes become red or irritated.
Never wear your lenses beyond the amount of time recommended by your Eye Care Professional.
If aerosol (spray) products, such as hair spray, are used while wearing lenses, exercise caution and eep your eyes closed until the spray has settled.
Avoid all harmful or irritating vapors and fumes while wearing lenses.
Ask your Eye Care Professional about wearing contact lenses during sporting activities, especially swimming and other water sports. Exposing contact lenses to water during swimming or while in a hot tub may increase the risk of eye infection from germs.
Always throw away lenses worn as prescribed by your Eye Care Professional.

Solution Precautions:

Different lens care products cannot always be used together, and not all products are safe for use with all lenses. Use only recommended solutions.
NEVER use solutions recommended for conventional hard contact lenses only.
Chemical disinfection solutions should not be used with heat unless specifically indicated on product labeling for use in both heat and chemical disinfection.
Always use fresh lens care products and lenses before the expiration dates.
Always follow the directions in the package inserts for the use of contact lens solutions.
Use only a chemical (not heat) lens care system. Use of heat (thermal) care systems can damage your contact lens.
When you use sterile solutions that do not contain preservatives, they should be thrown out after the time specified in the directions.
DO NOT use saliva or anything other than the recommended solutions for lubricating or wetting lenses.
Always keep your lenses completely covered by the recommended storage solution when the lenses are not being worn (stored). Extended periods of drying will make it harder for the lens to become wet again. Follow the lens care directions for “Care For A Dried Out (Dehydrated) Lens” if the lens surface does become dried-out.
If the lens sticks (stops moving) on your eye, follow the recommended directions in “Care for a Sticking Lens”. The lens should move freely on your eye for the continued health of your eye. If non-movement of the lens continues, you should immediately consult your Eye Care Professional.

Lens Case Precautions:

Bacteria can grow in contact lens cases, so it is important to properly use, clean and replace your cases at regular intervals as recommended by the lens case manufacturer or your eye care professional.

Who Should Know That You are Wearing Contact Lenses:

Inform your doctor (Health Care Professional) about being a contact lens wearer.
Always inform your employer of being a contact lens wearer. Some jobs may require use of eye protection equipment or may require that you not wear contact lenses.

Adverse Reactions (Problems and What to do)

Be aware that the following problems may occur when wearing contact lenses:

Your eyes may burn, sting and/or itch.
There may be less comfort than when the lens was first placed on your eye.
There may be a feeling of something in your eye (foreign body, scratched area).
There may be the potential for some temporary impairment due to peripheral infiltrates, peripheral corneal ulcers or corneal erosion. There may be the potential for other physiological observations, such as local or generalized edema, corneal neovascularization, corneal staining, injection, tarsal abnormalities, iritis and conjunctivitis, some of which are clinically acceptable in low amounts.
There may be excessive watering, unusual eye secretions or redness of your eye.
Poor visual acuity, blurred vision, rainbows or halos around objects, photophobia or dry eyes may also occur if your lenses are worn continuously or for too long a time.

You should conduct a simple 3-part self examination at least once a day. Ask yourself:

How do the lenses feel on my eyes?
How do my eyes look?
Do I continue to see well?

If you report any problems, you should IMMEDIATELY REMOVE YOUR LENS.

If the discomfort or problem stops, you should look closely at the lens.

If the lens is in any way damaged, you SHOULD NOT put the lens back on your eye. You should discard the lens and apply a new fresh lens on your eye.

If your lens has dirt, an eyelash, or foreign body on it, or the problem stops and the lens appears undamaged, you should dispose of the lens and apply a new fresh lens.

If the problem continues, you SHOULD NOT put the lens back on your eye but IMMEDIATELY CONSULT YOUR EYE CARE PROFESSIONAL.

When any of the above symptoms occur, a serious condition such as infection, corneal ulcer, neovascularization or iritis may be present. Seek immediate professional identification of the problem and prompt treatment to avoid serious eye damage.

During therapeutic use, an adverse effect may be due to the original disease or injury or may be due to the effects of wearing a contact lens. There is a possibility that the existing disease or condition might become worse when a soft contact lens for therapeutic use is used to treat an already diseased injured eye. To avoid serious eye damage, you should contact your Eye Care Professional IMMEDIATELY if there is an increase in symptoms while wearing the lens.

Personal Cleanliness for Lens Handling and Application

1. Prepare the Lens for Wearing

It is essential that you learn and use good hygienic methods in the care and handling of your new lenses.

Cleanliness is the first and most important aspect of proper contact lens care. In particular, your hands should be clean and free of any foreign substances when you handle your lenses. The procedures are:

Always wash your hands thoroughly with a mild soap, rinse completely and dry with a lint-free towel before touching your lenses.
Avoid the use of soaps containing cold cream, lotion, or oily cosmetics before handling your lenses, since these substances may come into contact with the lenses and interfere with successful wearing.
Handle your lenses with your fingertips, and be careful to avoid contact with fingernails. It is helpful to keep your fingernails short and smooth.
Start off correctly by getting into the habit of always using proper hygienic procedures so that they become automatic.

2. Opening the Multipack and Lens Package

Multipack

It is simple to open the multipack. Locate the opening flap on the front of the multipack and pull up to break the seal. Each lens comes in its own lens package designed specifically to maintain sterility. To close the multipack for storage, just tuck in the flap.

Lens Package

To open an individual lens package, follow these simple steps:

Shake the lens package and check to see that the lens is floating in the solution.
Peel back the foil closure to reveal the lens. By stabilizing the lens package on the table-top, you will minimize the possibility of a sudden splash.

Occasionally, a lens may adhere to the inside surface of the foil when opened, or to the plastic package itself. This will not affect the sterility of the lens. It is still perfectly safe to use. Carefully remove and inspect the lens following the handling instructions.

3. Handling the Lenses

When you first get your lenses, be sure that you are able to put the lenses on and remove them before leaving your Eye Care Professional’s office.
Develop the habit of always working with the same lens first to avoid mix-ups.
Remove the lens from its storage case and examine it to be sure that it is moist, clean, clear, and free of any nicks or tears. If the lens appears damaged, do not use it. Use the next lens in the multipack.

4. Placing the Lens on the Eye

Remember, start with your right eye.

Once you have opened the lens package, removed and examined the lens, follow these steps to apply the lens to your eye:

BE SURE THE LENS IS NOT INSIDE-OUT by following either of the following procedures:
- Place the lens on the tip of your index finger and check its profile. The lens should assume a natural, curved, bowl-like shape. If the lens edges tend to point outward, the lens is inside out. Another method is to gently squeeze the lens between the thumb and forefinger. The edges should turn inward. If the lens is inside out, the edges will turn slightly outward.
OR
- Place the lens on the tip of your index finger and, looking up at the lens, locate the numbers 123. 1-2-3 indicates correct orientation while a reverse of 1-2-3 indicates the lens is inside out. If the lens is inside out (reverse 1-2-3), invert the lens and locate the numbers again to confirm correct lens orientation.
Place the middle finger of the same hand close to your lower eyelashes and pull down the lower lid.
Use the forefinger or middle finger of the other hand to lift the upper lid.
Place the lens on the eye.
Gently release the lids and blink. The lens will center automatically.
Use the same technique when applying the lens on your left eye.

There are other methods of lens placement. If the above method is difficult for you, your Eye Care Professional will provide you with an alternate method.

After you have successfully inserted your lenses, you should ask yourself:

Do I see well?
How do the lenses feel on my eyes?
How do my eyes look?

Note: If after placement of the lens, your vision is blurred, check for the following:

The lens is not centered on the eye (see "Centering your Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism Lens" section).
If the lens is centered, remove the lens (see "Removing the Lens" section) and check for the following:
- Cosmetics or oils on the lens. Dispose of the lens and apply a new fresh lens.
- The lens is on the wrong eye.
- The lens is inside-out (it would also not be as comfortable as normal).

If you find that your vision is still blurred after checking the above possibilities, remove both lenses and consult your Eye Care Professional.

Note: If a lens becomes less comfortable than when it was first applied or if it is markedly uncomfortable upon application, remove the lens immediately and contact your Eye Care Professional.

If your examination shows any problems, IMMEDIATELY REMOVE YOUR LENSES AND CONTACT YOUR EYE CARE PROFESSIONAL.

5. Centering your Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism Lens

A lens, which is on the cornea, will very rarely be displaced onto the white part of the eye during wear. This, however, can occur if application and removal procedures are not performed properly.

To center a lens, follow either of these procedures:

Close your eyelids and gently massage the lens into place through the closed lids.

Gently manipulate the off-centered lens onto the cornea while the eye is opened using finger pressure on the edge of the upper lid or lower lid.

6. Removing the Lens

CAUTION: Always be sure the lens is on the cornea before attempting to remove it. Determine this by covering the other eye. If vision is blurred, the lens is either on the white part of the eye or it is not on the eye at all. To locate the lens, inspect the upper area of the eye by looking down into a mirror while pulling the upper lid up. Then inspect the lower area by pulling the lower lid down

Always remove the same lens first.

Wash, rinse and dry your hands thoroughly.

Lens Removal Methods

There are two recommended methods of lens removal: the Pinch Method and the Forefinger and Thumb Method. You should follow the method that is recommended by your Eye Care Professional.

Pinch Method:

Look up, slide the lens to the lower part of the eye using the forefinger.
Gently pinch the lens between the thumb and forefinger.
Remove the lens.

Forefinger and Thumb Method:

Place your hand or towel under your eye to catch the lens.
Place your forefinger on the center of the upper lid and your thumb on the center of the lower lid.
Press in and force a blink. The lens should fall onto your hand or the towel.
Once the lens is removed, simply follow the lens care directions recommended by your Eye Care Professional.
Note: The lens may come out, but remain on the eyelid, finger or thumb.
Remove the other lens by following the same procedure.
Follow the required lens care procedures described under the heading, "Caring For Your Lenses (Cleaning, Rinsing, Disinfecting, Storage and Rewetting/Lubricating)".

Note: If these methods of removing your lens are difficult for you, your Eye Care Professional will provide you with an alternate method.

Caring for your Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism lenses

Basic Lens Care Instructions

If you require only vision correction, but will not or cannot always use the recommended care routine for your lenses, or are unable to put on and remove lenses or have someone available to place and remove them,
you should not try to get and wear contact lenses.

When you first get your lenses, be sure to put the lenses on and remove them while you are in your Eye Care Professional’s office.
Always wash, rinse and dry your hands before handling contact lenses.
Do not use saliva or anything other than the recommended solutions for lubricating or rewetting your lenses. Do not put lenses in your mouth.
Never rinse your lenses in water from the tap. There are two reasons for this:
- Tap water contains many impurities that can contaminate or damage your lenses and may lead to eye infection or injury.
- You might lose your lens down the drain.

For Disposable Wear:
Remember, there is no cleaning or disinfection needed with your contact lenses if they are prescribed for disposable wear. Always dispose of lenses when they are removed and have replacement lenses or glasses available. Lenses should only be cleaned, rinsed and disinfected on an emergency basis when replacement lenses or glasses are not available. For EMERGENCY LENS CARE ONLY, refer to the instructions below for cleaning, rinsing and disinfecting your lenses.

Your Eye Care Professional may recommend a lubricating/rewetting solution for your use. Lubricating/Rewetting solutions can be used to wet (lubricate) your lenses while you are wearing them.

For Frequent Replacement Wear:
When you first get your lenses, you will be given a recommended cleaning and disinfection routine and instructions and warnings for lens care, handling, cleaning and disinfection. Your Eye Care Professional should teach you about appropriate and adequate procedures and products for your use. When you remove your lenses between replacement periods, the lenses must be cleaned and disinfected before you put them back on your eyes, or you should throw them away and replace them with fresh lenses.

For continued safe and comfortable wearing of your lenses, it is important that you first clean and rinse, then disinfect [and neutralize (for hydrogen peroxide systems)] your lenses after each removal, using the lens care products and procedures recommended by your Eye Care Professional. Cleaning and rinsing are necessary to remove mucus, secretions, films or deposits that may have built up on your lenses during wearing. The ideal time to clean your lenses is immediately after removing them. Disinfecting is necessary to destroy harmful germs.

You should always use the recommended lens care routine. Failure to follow the recommended procedures may result in development of serious eye problems, as discussed in the "Warnings" section.

For safe contact lens wear, you should know and always practice your lens care routine:

Always use fresh lens care products before the expiration dates.
Use the recommended system of lens care, chemical (not heat), and carefully follow instructions on lens care product labeling. Different products cannot always be used together, and not all products are safe for use with all lenses. Do not alternate or mix lens care systems unless indicated on the product labeling.
Always remove, clean, rinse and disinfect your lenses according to the schedule pre-scribed by your Eye Care Professional. The use of any cleaning solution does not substitute for disinfection.
Lenses prescribed on the frequent replacement program should be thrown away after the recommended wearing period prescribed by your Eye Care Professional.
Since the lens material contains silicone, the wettability may differ when different lens care products are used. The Eye Care Professional should recommend a care system that is appropriate for your contact lenses. Each lens care product contains specific directions for use and important safety information, which should be read and carefully followed.

Note: Some solutions may have more than one function, which will be indicated on the label. Read the label on the solution bottle and follow the instructions.

Cleaning

Always clean the same lens first to avoid mix-ups.
Follow the instructions provided in the cleaning solution labeling.
After cleaning, rinse the lens thoroughly with a recommended rinsing solution to remove the cleaning solution, mucus and film from the lens surface.
Put the lens into the correct chamber of the lens storage case.

Disinfecting (Chemical - Not Heat)

After cleaning, disinfect lenses using the system recommended by your Eye Care Professional.
Follow the instructions provided in the disinfection product labeling or recommended by your eye care professional.
When using hydrogen peroxide lens care systems, lenses must be neutralized before wearing. Follow the recommendations on the hydrogen peroxide system labeling.
Thoroughly rinse lenses with a fresh solution recommended for rinsing before inserting and wearing, or follow the instructions on the disinfection solution labeling
Do not heat the disinfection solution and lenses.

Caution: Lenses that are chemically disinfected may absorb ingredients from the disinfecting solution that may be irritating to the eyes. A thorough rinse in fresh sterile saline (or another recommended solution) prior to placement on the eye should reduce the potential for irritation.

Storage

To store your lenses, first disinfect them, then leave them in the closed/unopened case until you are ready to wear them.
Always keep your lenses completely covered by a recommended disinfecting solution when the lenses are not being worn.
If you will not be wearing your lenses immediately following disinfection, you should ask your Eye Care Professional for information about storing your lenses.
After removing your lenses from the lens case, empty and rinse the lens storage case with solution(s) recommended by your eye care professional or the lens case manufacturer; then allow the lens case to air dry. When the case is used again, refill it with fresh storage solution. Replace lens case at regular intervals.

Lubricating/Rewetting

Your Eye Care Professional may recommend a lubricating/rewetting solution for your use. Lubricating/rewetting solutions can be used to wet (lubricate) your lenses while you are wearing them.

Lens Case Cleaning and Maintenance

Contact lens cases can be a source of bacteria growth. Lens cases should be emptied, cleaned, rinsed with solutions recommended by the lens case manufacturer and allowed to air dry. Lens cases should be replaced at regular intervals, as recommended by the lens case manufacturer or your Eye Care Professional.

Care For A Dried Out (Dehydrated) Lens

If a soft contact lens is exposed to air for prolonged periods while off the eye, it may become dry and can be easily broken. If this happens, throw away the lens and use a new fresh one.

Care For A Sticking (Non-moving) Lens

If a lens sticks (stops moving) on your eye, apply a few drops of the recommended lubricating solution. You should wait until the lens begins to move freely on the eye before removing it. If non-movement of the lens continues, you should immediately consult your Eye Care Professional.

Emergencies

If chemicals of any kind (household products, gardening solutions, laboratory chemicals, etc.) are splashed into your eyes: FLUSH EYES IMMEDIATELY WITH TAP WATER AND IMMEDIATELY CONTACT YOUR EYE CARE PROFESSIONAL OR VISIT A HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM WITHOUT DELAY.

Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism Latest News

Seal of Acceptance for Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism

Jacksonville, Fla., June 26, 2008

Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism became the fourth contact lens in the Acuvue family of products to receive the AOA Seal of Acceptance for Ultraviolet Absorbing Contact Lenses from the American Optometric Association's Commission on Ophthalmic Standards.

The announcement was made in Seattle at the annual meeting of the American Optometric Association (AOA).

In awarding the Seal of Acceptance, AOA's Commission on Ophthalmic Standards, which provides independent evaluation of ophthalmic related products, determined that Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism, which just launched in the U.S. this week, meets AOA specifications for ultraviolet absorbing contact lenses.

The specifications are in accordance with published standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and International Standards Organization (ISO).

"The greatest measure of UV protection can be achieved with a combination of UV-absorbing sunglasses, a wide brimmed hat, and UV-blocking contact lenses," says Jeffrey L. Weaver, OD, Director, Clinical Care Group, AOA.

"Not all contact lens lines offer UV protection, and, of those that do, not all provide similar absorption levels," explains Sheila Hickson-Curran, Director, Medical Affairs, Vistakon (a Division of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.).

"Acuvue Advance with Hydraclear, Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism, Acuvue Oasys with Hydraclear Plus and Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism offer the highest level of UV-blocking available, blocking more than 90 percent of UVA rays and 99 percent of UVB rays that reach the lens. Because they cover the entire cornea and limbus, UV-blocking contact lenses offer an added level of protection when worn with UV blocking sunglasses. While many sunglasses will block UV rays that enter through the lenses, most do not prevent unfiltered rays from reaching the eyes through the sides, as well as the top, and/or bottom of the glasses. Due to their inability to block these peripheral rays, some sunglasses block as little as 50 percent of all UV radiation from reaching the eyes."

All Acuvue Contact Lenses offer effective UV-blocking - in addition Acuvue Advance with Hydraclear, Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism, Acuvue Oasys with Hydraclear Plus and Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism carry the AOA's Seal of Acceptance for Ultraviolet Absorbing Contact Lenses.

ASD - Accelerated Stabilization Design (Overview)

2010-03-05T03:19:41Z

In an eye with Astigmatism, parts of the eye that bend light are shaped so that they focus the light in two different places leading to blurred vision. To correct this, contact lenses need to have two different powers so they have to be precisely oriented and not rotate. Sounds tricky, so how is it done? Well, the force that keeps your feet on the ground can also help keep contact lenses in place. And that's how most brands do it. A heavier, thicker ballast area of the lens gets pulled to the bottom, helping the lens to stay oriented.

But what if you move around? Or what if you move your eyes quickly? Or tilt your head like when you lie on a couch to watch TV? Oh-oh...Now gravity will pull the contact lens out of position. And when you blink, your lower eye lid can bump the ballast knocking the lens out of place. That means blur.

To find a better way, Acuvue used high-speed filming and computer-based modelling to study how eye lids and contacts interact. That led to a technology break-through: Accelerated Stabilization Design (ASD). Instead of passively relying on gravity, ASD's four zones dynamically interact with your natural eye lid pressure. Every time you blink, that pressure actively re-aligns your lenses helping to keep them right where they need to be. And unlike pure ballast designs, the lens edge is pushed around less by your lower lid.

With ASD and only with Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism and Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism you finally have a more stable and comfortable, crisp vision so you can enjoy your time on the playing field, roughhousing with the kids or just lounging around the house.
