The New Acuvue® Advance™ with Hydraclear™
A Contact Lens Breakthrough
by Michael P. Lange O.D.

Acuvue® Advance™ with Hydraclear™Millions of patients each year stop wearing their contact lenses because of poor comfort.

 

Many patients have spent hours at their Optometrist office trying to find a contact lens that was comfortable all day long and gave them exceptional vision. Some of these patients were never satisfied. There are many reasons for contact lens discomfort and failure. Extreme work hours, allergies, high lipid concentration in tear film, medications, general health problems that can dry the eyes, nutritional deficiencies, lack of proper hydration with fluids, and age are all some of the reasons and often times it may be a culmination of all of these factors. We can certainly practice good nutritional habits, take a good multivitamin, drink plenty of water, alter our lifestyle and work conditions. But this may still not be enough. The road to successful contact lens wear will certainly require some of what was just mentioned but most importantly finding a contact lens that fits in harmony with your eye.

HYDRACLEAR is the "science" inside this lens... a remarkable moisture rich element that acts as an internal wetting agent at the surface and throughout the interior of the lens resulting in exceptional long lasting comfort for our patients.

The Acuvue® Advance™ with Hydraclear™ contact lens may be the ticket for both eye doctors and their patients. This is a contact lens that offers incredible comfort all day long and allows three times more oxygen to your corneas. This may be the lens to try if you have not been a satisfied contact lens wearer. In our contact lens practice this is rapidly becoming the lens of choice for our doctors. This contact lens is a win-win situation for everyone involved. The patient gets a contact lens that is extremely comfortable all day long, allows three times the oxygen to their corneas and gives clear crisp vision throughout the day. The chair time or in-office time is reduced because of the instant gratification. So the doctor and the patient are both happy. Clinical studies have shown this lens to be superior to the competition in comfort, clarity and reduced eye redness. The new Acuvue® Advance™ also has UV blocking properties incorporated into the contact. So if you are looking for the newest contact lens technology that could enable you to wear contact lenses throughout the day ask to be fit in the new Acuvue® Advance™ with Hydraclear™.
