While the results from the clinical study indicate a high likelihood that a wearer of 1-Day ACUVUE TruEye can be successfully fit into ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day, they do not assure every patient will successfully make the transition. Eye Care Professionals should use their professional judgment to determine the best way for transitioning the patient based on this information. JJV Data on File 2017.

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 UVblocking contact lenses reduces the risk of developing cataracts or other eye disorders. Consult your eye care practitioner for more information.
