Contact Lenses That Adjust To Light

Imagine never squinting and shielding your eyes from blinding sunlight, or feeling the strain of eight-plus hours under fluorescent bulbs. That’s the allure of Acuvue’s anticipated line of light-sensitive, vision-correcting contact lenses, Acuvue Oasys with Transitions. Each contains a filter that senses the amount of light entering your eye and automatically darkens or lightens to maximize comfort. The contacts, which have been in the works for over a decade, received FDA clearance in 2018. They were also voted one of TIME Magazine's Best New Inventions in 2018. Here's why. 

ACUVUE® OASYS with Transitions is a first-of-its-kind contact lens for contact lens wearers. These lenses combine a proven ACUVUE® OASYS (senofilcon A) material with Transitions™ Light Intelligent Technology™. The result is a lens that seamlessly adapts to changing light, providing all-day, soothing vision.​

• Balances the amount of indoor and outdoor light entering the eye, including filtering blue light and blocking harmful UV rays.
• Offers superior optical precision with exceptional color contrast enhancement.
• Helps patients’ vision recover from bright light up to 5 seconds faster.
• Brings out the best in everything patients see by providing enhanced color contrast.​

​

When asked about experiencing moments when bothered by light, 64% of consumers admit to being bothered by bright light daily. 94% of those who reported they were bothered by bright light daily use compensating behaviors (such as eye shading, squinting, turning off lights and turning down screen brightness) to manage it.

ACUVUE® OASYS with Transitions™ activates in less than a minute and quickly fades from dark to clear when going from outdoors to indoors.

At Kirkwood Eye Associates, we are proud to be one of the first practices in the Saint Louis region selected to carry this revolutionary new contact lens. To make an appointment or to learn more information call, 314.394.3045.
