Product Information

There are many changes that come with age. While some are more welcome than others, we still have to deal with the changes as they come. Presbyopia is an example of one of those less-than-desirable changes, but one that we must face nonetheless. As complex as the name sounds, presbyopia is simple condition — it’s the inability to focus on close-up objects that occurs with age. Reading glasses and bifocals were made to help people deal with the condition, but neither of those options are ideal for those who prefer the convenience of contact lenses.

Fortunately, some contact lens manufacturers have expanded their product lines to include a multifocal contact lens option for those with presbyopia. One of the most respected manufacturers, Johnson & Johnson, has a multifocal offering in their Acuvue Oasys line of contact lenses that can sharpen the vision of those with this condition. Acuvue Oasys for Presbyopia allows wearers to see clearly up close, even in low light situations. They’re also an incredibly comfortable and highly breathable alternative to bulky, inconvenient reading glasses.

Presbyopia occurs when the lens of the eye, which starts out flexible, begins to harden with age. Due to its inability to properly adjust to focus, objects appear blurry. People most often begin to notice this shift in their vision sometime around the age of 40. From then until about the age of 65, presbyopia will progressively get worse. Those who think they are exempt due to the fact that they have always had perfect eyesight are likely still out of luck, as presbyopia eventually catches up with practically everyone. When presbyopia shows up, you may notice an inability to focus on reading material that’s close up. Others may experience headaches or eye strain while looking at things up close.

Acuvue Oasys Presbyopia contacts are a great solution for those who need vision correction due to presbyopia but who don’t want to wear glasses. The lenses are made using STEREO PRECISION TECHNOLOGY™, which allows wearers to see clearly up close, at a distance, and everywhere in between, no matter the lighting condition. It’s also worth mentioning that these lenses feel extraordinarily comfortable. Like the other lenses in the Acuvue product line, Acuvue Oasys for Presbyopia with Hydraclear Plus maintains moisture throughout the day, offers high levels of UV-A and UV-B protection, and is as smooth and breathable as contact lenses can be.

Acuvue Oasys contacts are 1-2 week disposable contact lenses which means they can be worn for up to 2 weeks with daily wear before replacing them. Simply clean daily at night for the next day’s use and replace every two weeks, or wear continuously for up to six days and replace with a fresh pair of contacts upon removal.

If you’re noticing a change in your close-up vision, it may be time to have your eyes checked by an eye care professional. The Acuvue Oasys for Presbyopia design brings the world into focus and keeps your eyes healthy and feeling great. If you’re considering presbyopia contact lenses, be sure to check out Lens.com.
