ACUVUE® OASYS® 1-Day with HydraLuxe®
ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day lenses are designed for wearers who experience dryness, digital eye strain, or extended screen time. Featuring HydraLuxe® Technology, these lenses integrate tear-like molecules that help stabilize the tear film and maintain consistent moisture throughout the day.
- Material: Silicone hydrogel
- Oxygen delivery: High Dk/t for healthy corneal oxygenation
- UV protection: Class 1 (blocks >99% UVB and ~96% UVA)
- Ideal for: Screen users, dry environments, long waking hours
Wearers often report a smooth, moist feel with minimal end-of-day dryness—making these lenses a popular choice for busy, tech-focused lifestyles.
Biotrue® ONEday
Biotrue ONEday lenses are inspired by the natural biology of the eye and are designed to maintain moisture for up to 16 hours. Their HyperGel™ material matches the water content of the cornea, promoting comfort without sacrificing breathability.

DAILIES TOTAL1®
DAILIES TOTAL1 lenses are known for their water-gradient technology, featuring nearly 100% water content at the lens surface for exceptional comfort. The ultra-soft outer layer minimizes friction between the eyelid and lens, even during long wear days.

Patients frequently describe these lenses as having a “barely there” feel with excellent resistance to dehydration.
UV Protection Works Best as Part of a Complete Eye Care Plan
While UV-blocking contact lenses provide valuable protection, they do not cover the entire eye area. For optimal protection, they should be combined with:
- High-quality UV-blocking sunglasses
- Wide-brimmed hats during outdoor activities
- Regular comprehensive eye exams
An eye care professional can help determine which contact lens material, hydration technology, and UV classification best fits your eyes, lifestyle, and visual needs. You can explore your options further on our contact lenses page.
