As with any contact lens, ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses are
medical devices. The ongoing support of your Eye Care Professional
for regular eye checks is essential to the long-term protection of
your health and vision.
For your eye health, it is important that your contact lenses be
worn only as prescribed by your Eye Care Professional. He or she
will review with you all risks associated with contact lens wearing
and will provide instructions for lens handling and care, including
how to safely and easily open the packaging. You will also be
taught how to properly apply and remove lenses. This booklet will
reinforce those instructions.
If you have any questions, always ask your Eye Care Professional.

Intended use
ACUVUE® Brand Spherical Contact Lenses are intended for Daily
Wear and for the optical correction, myopia (short-sightedness) and
hyperopia (longsightedness) in persons with healthy eyes who have
1.00D or less of astigmatism.
ACUVUE® OASYS with Transitions™ are photochromic contact
lenses also indicated for the attenuation of bright light as they
contain a photochromic additive which dynamically absorbs visible
light.
ACUVUE®2 and ACUVUE OASYS® Brand Contact Lenses with
HYDRACLEAR® PLUS are also intended for Extended Wear.
ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses for ASTIGMATISM are intended for
Daily Wear and for the optical correction of myopia
(short-sightedness) and hyperopia (long-sightedness) in persons
with healthy eyes who may have astigmatism.
ACUVUE OASYS® Brand Contact Lenses for ASTIGMATISM with
HYDRACLEAR® PLUS are also intended for Daily Wear or Extended Wear.
ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses for PRESBYOPIA are intended for
Daily Wear or Extended Wear for the optical correction of myopia
(short-sightedness) and hyperopia (long-sightedness) in
presbyopic persons with healthy eyes who have 0.75D or less of
astigmatism.
ACUVUE OASYS® Brand Contact Lenses with HYDRACLEAR® PLUS
are also indicated for therapeutic use as a bandage lens for certain
ocular conditions.
Please consult your Eye Care Professional for further information.
You should never self-treat with a contact lens or eye medications
any condition without first being seen by your Eye Care
Professional.
WARNING: All ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses have UV blocking to
help provide protection against transmission of harmful UV
radiation to the cornea and into the eye. UVabsorbing 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 by your Eye Care
Professional.
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 Professional for more information.
Wear schedule
Your Eye Care Professional should determine the appropriate wear
and replacement schedule based upon your history and ocular
examination.
Daily Wear – Frequent Replacement
ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses prescribed for Daily Wear –
Frequent Replacement (less than 24 hours, while awake), are to be
discarded and replaced every two weeks.
ACUVUE® VITA® Brand Contact Lenses prescribed for Daily Wear –
Frequent Replacement (less than 24 hours, while awake), are to be

•Any active corneal infection (bacterial, fungal, protozoal or viral).
•If eyes become red or irritated.
Warnings – what you should know about contact lens wear
It is essential that you follow your Eye Care Professional’s directions
for the proper use of your contact lenses. You are advised of the
following warnings pertaining to contact lens wear:
•Problems with contact lenses or lens care products could result in
serious injury to the eye. You should be cautioned that proper use
and care of contact lenses and lens care products, including lens
cases, are essential for the safe use of these products.
•Eye problems, including corneal ulcers, can develop rapidly and
lead to loss of vision.
•Studies have shown that the risk of eye problems, including
ulcerative keratitis is greater for extended wear contact lens users
than for daily wear users.
•When daily wear users wear their lenses overnight (outside the
approved indication), the risk of eye problems, including ulcerative
keratitis is greater than among those who do not wear them
overnight .
†
•The overall risk of eye problems, including ulcerative keratitis may
be reduced by carefully following directions for lens care, including
cleaning the lens case.
Extended Wear
ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses prescribed for Extended Wear,
(greater than 24 hours, including while asleep) as shown in Table 1
may be used continuously for up to 7days/6nights and should be
discarded upon removal. Your Eye Care Professional will determine
if you are suitable for extended wear before lenses are worn in this
way. When used in this way, no cleaning or disinfection is required.
It is recommended that you first be started on a daily wear
schedule. If successful, then a gradual introduction of extended
wear can be followed as determined by your Eye Care Professional.
Once removed, it is recommended that the lens remains out of the
eye for a period of rest overnight or longer.
Contra-indications
When worn for vision correction, do not use ACUVUE® Brand
Contact Lenses when you have any of the following conditions:
•Inflammation or infection in or around the eye or eyelids.
•
conjunctiva or eyelids.
•Any previously diagnosed condition that makes contact lens wear
uncomfortable.
•Severe dry eye.
•Reduced corneal sensitivity (corneal hypoesthesia).
•
by wearing contact lenses.
•Allergic reactions of ocular surfaces or surrounding tissues that
may be induced or exaggerated by wearing or use of contact
lens solutions.
† New England Journal of Medicine, September 21, 1989, 321 (12), pp 773-783.
• Allergy to any ingredient, such as mercury or Thimerosal,
in a solution which is to be used to care for your contact lenses.
•Studies have shown that the risk of eye problems, including
ulcerative keratitis among contact lens users who smoke is
greater than among non-smokers.
•If you experience eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision
changes, redness of the eye or other problems, you should
immediately remove your lenses and promptly contact your Eye
Care Professional.
For Therapeutic Use, your Eye Care Professional may prescribe
ACUVUE OASYS® Brand Contact Lenses with HYDRACLEAR® PLUS
to aid in the healing process of certain ocular conditions that may
include those listed above.

10 11
Adverse reactions
Be aware that the following problems may occur when wearing
contact lenses:
• Your eyes may burn, sting and/or itch.
• There may be less comfort than when the lens was first
placed on the eye.
There may be a feeling of something in your eye.
• There may be the potential for some temporary harm due to
peripheral infiltrates, peripheral corneal ulcers and corneal
erosion. There may be the potential for other physiological
observations, such as local or generalised oedema, corneal
neovascularisation, corneal staining, injection, tarsal
abnormalities, iritis and conjunctivitis, some of which are clinically
acceptable in low amounts.
• There may be excessive watering, unusual eye secretions or
redness of your eye.
• Poor vision, blurred vision, rainbows or halos around objects,
sensitivity to light (photophobia) or symptoms of eye dryness
may also occur if your lenses are worn continuously or for too
long a time.
During therapeutic use of ACUVUE OASYS® Brand Contact Lenses
with HYDRACLEAR® PLUS, an adverse effect may be due to the
original disease or injury may be due to the effects of wearing
a contact lens. There is a possibility that the existing disease or
condition might become worse when a soft contact lens for
therapeutic use is used to treat an already diseased injured eye.
To avoid serious eye damage, you should contact your Eye Care
Professional IMMEDIATELY if there is an increase in symptoms
while wearing the lens.
If any of the above symptoms occur, a serious eye condition such
as infection, corneal ulcer, neovascularisation or iritis may be
present. You should immediately be seen by your Eye Care
Professional,so that the problem can be identified and treated, if
necessary, in order to avoid serious eye damage.
Recognising problems and what to do
You should conduct a simple self-examination at least once a day.
Ask yourself:
1. How do the lenses feel on my eyes?
2. How do my eyes look?
3. Do I continue to see well?
It is recommended that you see your Eye Care Professional
routinely as directed.
DO NOT expose contact lenses to water during swimming,
other water sports or bathing as this could increase the risk of
serious eye infection from microorganisms which could lead to
vision loss. If lenses have been submersed in water, the patient
should discard and replace them with a new pair. The Eye
Care Professional should be consulted for recommendations
regarding wearing lenses during any activity involving water.
Do not reuse or “top-off” old solution left in your lens case since
solution reuse reduces effective lens disinfection and could lead
to severe infection, vision loss, or blindness. “Topping-Off” is the
addition of fresh solution to solution that has been sitting in your
case.
Discard any remaining solution after the recommended time
period indicated on the bottle of multi-purpose solution used
for disinfecting and soaking your contact lenses. The discard
date refers to the time you can safely use the contact lens care
product after the bottle has been opened. It is not the same as
the expiration date, which is the last date that the product is still
effective before it is opened.
Using multi-purpose solution beyond the discard date could
result in contamination of the solution and can lead to severe
infection, vision loss, or blindness. To avoid contamination, DO
NOT touch the tip of the container to any surface. Replace cap
after using. DO NOT transfer to other bottles or containers.
Do not store your lenses or rinse your lens case with water or
any non-sterile solution. Only use fresh multi-purpose solution
so you do not contaminate your lenses or lens case. Use of
non-sterile solution can lead to severe infection, vision loss, or
blindness.

If you notice any problems, you should IMMEDIATELY REMOVE
YOUR LENS. If the problem or discomfort stops and the lens
appears undamaged, clean and rinse the lens with a recommended
soft contact lens care solution, and reinsert the lens. If after
reinserting the lens, the problem continues, discard the lens and
place a new fresh lens on the eye.
If after inserting the new lens, the problem continues,
IMMEDIATELY REMOVE THE LENS AND CONTACT YOUR EYE
CARE PROFESSIONAL.

The lens packaging
To open the box, locate the opening flap on the front and pull up
to break the seal.
Each lens is in its own package, designed specifically to maintain
sterility while sealed. To close the box for storage, just tuck in the flap.
DO NOT USE if the sterile blister package is opened, damaged or
after the expiry date shown.
Always confirm the lens parameters (e.g. diameter (DIA), base
curve (BC), lens power (D), etc.) printed on the multi-pack and on
the individual lens package match your prescription. DO NOT use
if there is a mismatch.
To open an individual lens package, follow these simple steps:
1. First separate one lens from the strip of lenses. Be careful not to
break the seal on any of the other lens packages.
2. Shake the package to allow the lens to float free in the solution.
3. Peel back the foil. Occasionally, a lens may stick to the inside of
the lens, which is still perfectly safe to use.
4. Handle your lenses carefully with your fingertips and be careful
to avoid damage with your fingernails. It is helpful to keep these
smooth and short.
5. Carefully remove the lens by sliding it up the side of the container.
Never use tweezers or other tools.
A clean routine
Preparing the lens for insertion
Cleanliness is the first and most important aspect of proper contact
lens care.
Establish a routine of good hygiene for handling your lenses.
• Always wash your hands thoroughly with warm water, a mild
soap, rinse carefully and dry with a clean lint-free towel before
touching your lenses to reduce the chance of getting an infection.
•Do not use cosmetics, soaps containing cold cream, lotions or
creams before handling your lenses. It is best to insert your lenses
before putting on make-up.
•Keep your eyes closed when using hairspray or other aerosols.
•Always follow the instructions in this booklet and any advice
given to you by your Eye Care Professional for the correct
handling, insertion, removal and use of your lenses.
•Never wear lenses longer than the period prescribed.
REMEMBER – SYMPTOMS ARE WARNING SIGNS. IF IN DOUBT,
TAKE THEM OUT.

14 15
Placing the lens on the eye
1. Remember to start with your
right eye. Once the lens has
been examined and you are
sure it is not inside out, place
it on the tip of your forefinger.
2. Place the middle finger of
the same hand close to your
lower eyelashes and pull
down the lower lid.
3. Use the forefinger or middle
finger of the other hand to lift
the upper lid and place the
lens on the eye.
4. Gently release both lids and blink.
5. Repeat these steps for the left lens.
There are other methods of lens placement. If the above method
alternative.
Inserting your lenses
To avoid mix-ups, develop the habit of always inserting the first
lens in your right eye.
Before inserting the lens, check to see that it is a single, moist, clean
lens that is free of any nicks or tears. If it appears damaged, throw it
away and use the next lens.
Check that the lens has not turned inside out.
Place the lens on the tip of your forefinger and check its profile.
The lens should assume a natural, curved, bowl-like shape.
If the lens edges tend to point outward, the lens is inside out.
Another method is to gently squeeze the lens between the thumb
and forefinger. The edges should turn inward. If the lens is inside
out, the edges will turn slightly outward.
Or
Place the lens on the tip of your index finger and, looking up at
the lens, locate the numbers 123. 1-2-3 indicates correct orientation
while a reverse of 1-2-3 indicates the lens is inside out. If the lens
is inside out (reverse 1-2-3), invert the lens and locate the numbers
again to confirm correct lens orientation.
Note that the 1-2-3 mark is not present on ACUVUE® Brand Contact
Lenses for ASTIGMATISM and ACUVUE OASYS® Brand Contact
Lenses for PRESBYOPIA with HYDRACLEAR® PLUS.
Note:
If you need to rinse the lens before you insert it into your eye, use
only fresh, sterile rinsing solution, as recommended by your Eye
Care Professional.
NEVER USE TAP WATER.

Care for a sticking
(non-moving) lens
If a lens sticks on your eye, you
may be prescribed a lubricating
or wetting solution by your Eye
Care Professional. In this way
you can wet your lenses while
you are wearing them, to make
them more comfortable.
Just apply a few drops and wait
until the lens begins to move
freely on the eye. If this does
not solve the problem, consult
your Eye Care Professional
IMMEDIATELY.
Care for a dried out (dehydrated) lens
Removing your lenses
Always remove the same lens first.
Caution:
Always ensure that the lens is on the middle of your eye before
attempting to remove it.
You can determine this by covering the other eye and if vision is
blurred, the lens is either on the white of the eye or it is not on
the eye at all. To locate the lens, inspect the upper area of the eye
by looking down into a mirror while pulling the upper lid up. Then
inspect the lower area by pulling the lower lid down.
Centring the lens
Usually, the lens centres itself automatically on the middle of your
eye when you insert it and will very rarely be displaced onto the
white of your eye during wear. However, this can occur if insertion
and removal are not performed properly. To centre a lens, follow
either of these methods:
a. Close your eyelids and gently massage the lens into place
through the closed lid.
Or
b.
eye while the eye is opened, using finger pressure on the edge of
the upper or lower lid.
Note:
If your vision is blurred after inserting the lens, check for the
following:
•The lens may not be centred on the eye. Check the instructions
above.
•If the lens is in the correct position, remove it and look for the
following:
If you find that your vision is still blurred after checking the above
possibilities, remove the lens and consult your Eye Care Professional.
a. Cosmetics or oils on the lens. Clean and rinse with a
recommended soft contact lens care solution, and if the
cosmetic or oil has been removed, reinsert the lens. If your
vision is still blurred, dispose of the lens and insert a new
fresh lens.
b. The lens may be on the wrong eye.
c. The lens may be inside out, which would also make
it less comfortable than normal.
If any ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lens is off the eye and exposed to
air for a prolonged period, its surface may become dry and
gradually become brittle. If this should occur, discard the lens and
use a new one.
Wash with soap & warm water, rinse and dry your hands thoroughly
and follow the same rules for hygiene as already described in ‘a clean
routine’.

18 19
When using hydrogen peroxide lens care systems, use ONLY the
lens case provided with the hydrogen peroxide care system. This
case is specially designed to neutralise the solution. Failure to use
the specialised case will result in severe stinging, burning, and
injury to the eye.
Once you have found the lens,
you can remove it by using
the Pinch Method or any other
method recommended by your
Eye Care Professional.
The Pinch Method
1. Look up and slide the lens
down to the white of your eye
using your forefinger.
2. Gently pinch the lens between
your thumb and forefinger and
remove the lens.
Caring for your lenses
For the continued safe and comfortable use of your lenses, it is
important to follow the instructions given to you by your Eye Care
Professional. If you remove your lenses and plan to wear them
again, carefully read the instructions provided for proper cleaning,
rinsing, disinfecting and storage.
Failure to follow the correct lens care regime may result in
the development of serious eye problems, as described in
the section entitled ‘Warnings – what you should know about
contact lens wear’.
Cleaning and rinsing are essential to remove mucus, secretions
and deposits which may have accumulated during use. Do this
immediately after removing your lenses and prior to disinfection.
Harmful germs can only be removed by cleaning, rinsing
and disinfecting.
Follow the instructions for use of the lens care system (chemical
not heat) recommended by your Eye Care Professional.
products are safe for use with all lenses. Do not alternate or mix lens
care systems unless indicated on the lens care labelling.
To adequately disinfect the lenses, rub and rinse the lenses
according to the recommended lens rubbing and rinsing times in
the labelling of the multi-purpose solution.
•Always wash with soap & warm water, rinse and dry hands before
handling lenses.
•Use fresh, unexpired lens care solutions.
•NEVER change your solutions without consulting your Eye Care
Professional.
•Thermal systems that use heat can damage your lenses.
•NEVER store your lenses in saline only. Saline will not protect
the lenses from contamination and may result in an eye infection.
•NEVER use solutions recommended for rigid gas permeable
(RPG) contact lenses.
•When you use sterile solutions that do not contain preservatives,
they should be thrown out after the time specified in the
directions.
•NEVER put lenses in your mouth or use anything other
than the recommended solutions for lubricating or wetting
your lenses.
•NEVER rinse them in tap water, since this can contain many
impurities that can contaminate or damage your lenses and may
lead to eye infection or injury.
• Clean the right lens first, to avoid mix-ups.
•Always store individual unopened ACUVUE® OASYS with
Transitions™ blisters out of direct sunlight.
•Always store worn ACUVUE® OASYS with Transitions™ contact
lenses in the lens case and out of direct sunlight.
•
Since some lens materials contain silicone, as shown in Table 1,
the wettability may differ when different lens care products are
used. Your Eye Care Professional should recommend a care
system that is appropriate for ACUVUE® Brand Contact lenses.

20 21
Instructions for the presbyopic patient (monovision and
multifocal)
If your Eye Care Professional explains that you require monovision
correction, you should take note of the following:
As with any type of lens correction, there may be a visual
compromise.
In some cases, monovision lenses can reduce visual acuity and
depth perception for distance and near tasks. Some patients have
Symptoms such as mild blurring and variable vision may last
briefly or for several weeks, as your eyes learn to adapt. The longer
these symptoms persist, the poorer your chances for successful
adaptation.
During this period, it is advisable to only wear these lenses in
familiar situations that are not visually demanding. For example,
until your eyes have adjusted, it would be wise to avoid driving.
Some patients may also need to wear spectacles over their lenses
to provide the clearest vision for critical tasks.
• In some cases, patients will never be fully comfortable functioning
in poor light when driving at night, for example. If this happens
you may be prescribed additional lenses so that both eyes can be
corrected when sharper distance vision is required.
•The decision to be fitted with monovision lenses should always
be made after careful consultation with an Eye Care Professional.
•You should follow the advice you are given to help you adapt
to monovision lenses and you should always discuss fully
any concerns or problems you may have during and after the
adaptation period.
• Put each lens into the correct chamber of the lens storage system
and make sure they are completely immersed in the storage
solution when they are not being worn. If lenses are left out
for long periods, they may dry out and become brittle. If this
happens, throw them away.
•NEVER re-use the solution in your lens case.
•Seek the advice of your Eye Care Professional if your lenses are to
be stored for extended periods.
•Lenses prescribed for reusable frequent replacement program
should be thrown away after the recommended wearing period
prescribed by your Eye Care Professional.
Looking after your lens case
Since lens cases can be a source of bacteria, after use they
should be emptied, cleaned and rinsed with recommended sterile
solutions and allowed to air dry. Your lens case should also be
replaced regularly as advised by the lens case manufacturer or your
Eye Care Professional.
NEVER USE TAP WATER TO RINSE YOUR LENS CASE.
In the event of running out of lenses
It is important to make sure you always have an adequate supply
of replacement lenses.
If you run out of lenses for any reason, you should wear
your spectacles.
To avoid running out, you will need to allow time to order and
collect or to be supplied with your replacement lenses from your
Eye Care Professional.
Although ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses maybe your preferred
vision correction, spectacles are an essential back-up for all contact
lens wearers.

22 23
• Never allow anyone else to wear your lenses. They have been
prescribed to fit your eye and to correct your vision to the degree
necessary. Sharing lenses greatly increases the chances of eye
infections.
•For healthy comfortable vision, it is important that ACUVUE®
Brand Contact Lenses are worn only as prescribed by your Eye
Care Professional. This booklet will act as a reminder of
these instructions.
•Your Eye Care Professional should be kept fully informed about
your medical history and will recommend a lens and care system
specific to your needs.
•When the replacement period prescribed by your Eye Care
Professional is over, ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses should be
discarded and replaced with a new sterile pair.
•Be aware that wearing a darkened ACUVUE® OASYS with
Transitions™ lens on only one eye is not recommended because it
may cause disturbances in your ability to accurately judge depth
and the motion of objects. It may also create a cosmetic concern.
•Avoid all harmful or irritating vapours and fumes whilst wearing
lenses.
•Always inform your employer of being a contact lens wearer.
Some jobs may require the use of eye protection equipment or
may require that you do not wear contact lenses.
Other important information
Precautions
Before leaving your Eye Care Professional, ensure that you are
able to put the lenses on and remove them or have someone else
available who can do this for you.
•
•DO NOT touch your contact lenses with your fingers or hands if
they are not completely clean because tiny lens scratches may
occur, causing unclear vision and/or injury to your eye.
•Always handle lenses carefully and avoid dropping them.
•Remove your lenses immediately if your eyes become red
or irritated.
•Inform all your doctor that you are a contact lens wearer.
•Always seek advice from your Eye Care Professional before using
any eye drops.
•Certain medications, such as antihistamines, decongestants,
diuretics, muscle relaxants, tranquillisers and treatments for travel
sickness may cause dryness of the eye, increased lens awareness
or blurred vision. If you experience a problem, you should seek
proper medical advice.
•If chemicals are splashed into your eyes: FLUSH EYES
IMMEDIATELY WITH TAP WATER. CONTACT YOUR EYE CARE
PROFESSIONAL WITHOUT DELAY OR GO TO THE CASUALTY
DEPARTMENT OF YOUR NEAREST HOSPITAL.
•As with any contact lens, regular eye check-ups are essential to
maintain healthy vision.
•Never wear ACUVUE® OASYS with Transitions™ contact lenses
as protection against artificial light sources, such as sun lamps,
lasers, etc or stare directly at the sun or at an eclipse.
•If you have any questions, always ask your Eye Care Professional.
•Never stare directly at the sun or at an eclipse with or without
ACUVUE® OASYS with Transitions™ contact lenses.
•Be aware that data is not available on the safety and performance
of driving with ACUVUE® OASYS with Transitions™ contact lenses
for individuals age 50 and older who may have crystalline lens
opacities (i.e. cataract).
•
Those who use oral contraceptives could develop changes in
vision or lens tolerance. Your Eye Care Professional will advise
you about this problem.

Summary overview
As with all types of contact lenses, there are basic guidelines which
must be followed to protect and enhance your sight:
• Always follow the instructions given to you for safe lens wear.
Regular check-ups are important to maintain peak performance
and healthy vision.
•High standards of hygiene are essential for safe lens wear.
•NEVER wear lenses for longer than the prescribed period.
•CLEANING, RINSING and DISINFECTING are ESSENTIAL, each
time the lens is removed to be re-inserted.
•NEVER re-use the solution in your lens case. Use fresh solution
each time lenses are removed.
•If you experience a problem such as red/irritated eye or blurred
vision, IMMEDIATELY remove your lenses and contact your Eye
Care Professional.
•Always have a pair of spectacles available so that you are not
tempted to wear your lenses when they should be removed.
Whilst contact lenses may be your preferred correction,
spectacles are an essential back-up.
As a wearer of ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses, you will soon
recognise the advantages over spectacles or other contact lenses.
For maximum benefit and performance it is vital that you recognise
how important it is to follow these guidelines.
You should only wear your lenses after following the advice given to
you by your Eye Care Professional and that contained in this booklet.
