Acuvue Moist 1-DAY (Daily Disposable) Contact Lens Overview

Acuvue Moist 1-DAY, launched by Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, utilizes patented LACREON® Technology.

It can maintain long-lasting, comfortable hydration for approximately 20 hours or more. ( Official information )

According to official specifications, the Acuvue Moist 1-DAY is different from silicone hydrogel lenses; it is made of hydrogel material, providing a soft and comfortable feel due to its high water content. ( Technical Specifications )

Core Technology: LACREON® Lubrication and Comfort Experience

LACREON® Technology embeds moisturizing factors into the lens, creating a long-lasting lubricating layer on the lens surface, which helps reduce friction and soothe dry eye discomfort. It maintains comfort for approximately 20 hours or more. ( Official moisturizing technology description )

High water content (58%) lenses are generally considered softer, making them especially suitable for contact lens beginners or people with sensitive eyes. However, because the water evaporates, regular breaks or the use of artificial tears are still necessary when wearing them for extended periods. ( Source: Official specifications )

Acuvue Moist 1-DAY for Astigmatism Characteristics

The astigmatism version of the lens is designed with Accelerated Stabilisation Design (ASD) technology (different from OASYS astigmatism, but using the same stabilization principle). Increased lens positioning stability ensures more stable and clear vision even during rapid eye movements or blinking. ( Technical specifications and positioning data )

Daily UV Protection and Wearing Recommendations

Acuvue Moist daily disposable lenses offer Class 2 UV protection, blocking approximately 99% of UVB and 85% of UVA, providing everyday UV protection, but they cannot replace sunglasses. ( Official UV protection data )

Users can wear them for up to 12–14 hours daily, but if dry eyes, stinging, or discomfort occurs, they should remove them immediately and consult an ophthalmologist or optometrist. Individual eye conditions vary, and the wearing experience differs depending on wearing habits and tear production. ( Professional wearing advice )

Which category is best suited for Hong Kong users?

  • Novice contact lens wearers.
  • For those who wear them occasionally and seek comfort throughout the day.
  • People with dry or sensitive eyes (need to take appropriate rest).
  • Those with mild astigmatism who require stable positioning.
