Acuvue Oasys Transition Contact Lenses

Acuvue Oasys Transition contact lenses are contacts that can adapt to light, indoors and out, helping your eyes adjust to fluctuating light conditions. Not only can they protect your eyes from harmful blue light they also offer the highest level of UV protection available in contact lenses. But they are not a replacement for sunglasses since the lenses do not cover the entire eye. Imagine never having to shield your eyes from the sunlight, or feel the strain of working under uncomfortable office lighting. This is the allure of transition contact lenses. Whether you have been diagnosed with nearsightedness, farsightedness, or simply want to take advantage of the light management benefits (light sensitivity), these colored contact lenses might be worth considering.

Acuvue Oasys Transition Contact Lenses & Light Sensitivity

Your eyes are constantly adjusting to light. But, when they struggle to keep up they are forced to compensate. This can result in discomfort. Especially for those with light sensitivity. While everyone is sensitive to light to some degree, people with light sensitivity are hypersensitive. Bright fluorescent lights, changes in light levels and even natural light alone can cause eye discomfort. 

Consequently, some people use compensating behaviors to help them cope. Whether it’s turning lights off or reducing screen brightness, shading your eyes or squinting, the reality is, being sensitive to light can have an impact on your quality of life. The good news is, even those who do not have vision problems can wear these contact lenses to help minimize the impact of light.

Transition Contact Lenses & Night Vision

These contact lenses reduce the halos (by up to 18%, on average) and starbursts (by up to 28%) that you encounter while driving at night. And, those made by harsh HEV lights. They even work behind a windshield. For contact lens wearers, this means you’ll enjoy clear vision, and less squinting, from dusk to dawn.

Blue Light Filtering & UV Protection

These contact lenses can block around 15% of blue light indoors and 55% outdoors. They also have the highest level of UV protection in a contact lens (blocks 100% of UVB and >99% of UVA). But you’ll want to remember that while these contacts provide UV protection, they are not a substitute for UV protective sunglasses.
