INSIDE-OUT MARK ACUVUE® inside-out marks help make insertion easier by letting you see if your lens is inside out. On ACUVUE® 2, 1•DAY ACUVUE® and ACUVUE® BIFOCAL, if you place your lens on your finger and look at it from the side, you should be able to see the 1-2-3 written correctly. If the lens is inside out, the 1-2-3 will appear reversed. On ACUVUE®, if you place your lens on your finger and look at it from the side, you should be able to see the AV written correctly. If the lens is inside out, the AV will appear reversed. Consult your Eye Care Professional for more information.   © JJVCI 1996 - 2004. All rights reserved

UV PROTECTION Consumer research has shown that UV protection is an important lens attribute for patients. In fact, 3 of 4 patients report that they want UV protection from their contact lenses, and 1 of 2 say they would switch brands for UV protection.   Since 1997, ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses have led the way in UV blocking. All ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses are FDA approved to help provide protection against transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea and into the eye.*   ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses block approximately 82% of UV-A radiation and 97% of UV-B radiation. On the average, contact lenses without UV blocking block approximately 10% of UV-A radiation and 30% of UV-B radiation1.   1 Harris MG, Hararifar M, Hirano K. Transmittance of tinted and UV-blocking disposable contact lenses. Optom Vis Sci 1999;76(3):177-180.   * 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.   © JJVCI 1996 - 2004.
