*ClinicalTrials.gov is a website maintained by the NIH. The 4 clinical studies evaluated subjective comfort as a primary or secondary endpoint for ACUVUE® VITA® Brand family contact lenses vs. competitors’ products. Review conducted as of April 30, 2023.
**Leading monthly contact lenses: Air Optix® Aqua, Biofinity®, and Ultra®. Superior "overall quality of vision" based upon pre-specified analysis of all patient responses provided on a 5 point scale. Ratings reflect the "Top 2 Box" (T2B) responses ('Excellent'/'Very Good') used in the analysis.
+Compared to other leading monthly reusable lenses, including Ultra®, Biofinity®, and Air Optix® Aqua
§Oxygen transmissibility measured via polarographic method at center of a -3.00D lens using boundary-corrected, edge-corrected Dk values. Units: (cm/sec) (ml O2/ml x mm Hg) at 35°C.
#Helps protect against transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea and into the eye.
^ 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 practitioner for more information.
