1-DAY ACUVUE TruEye vs ACUVUE OASYS

How does ACUVUE OASYS^® compare to the world's first daily disposable silicone hydrogel lens 1-DAY ACUVUE^® TruEye^®?
A look at the spec sheets reveals that these two lenses from Johnson and Johnson Vision Care are quite similar - except for the material and the replacement schedule. While ACUVUE OASYS^® is a biweekly replaceable silicone hydrogel lens that can be worn up to 6 consecutive nights, you have the benefit with 1-DAY ACUVUE^® TruEye^® to start with a fresh pair of lenses every day. That means no cleaning routine, cleaning solution, and storage container. With our busy lifestyles, going with a daily replaceable lens is the preferred choice for many of us.

ACUVUE OASYS^® and 1-DAY ACUVUE^® TruEye^® are both silicone hydrogel lenses with identical UV blocking, similar prescription parameters, stiffness, and lens thickness. Both lenses have a built-in wetting agent to increase the water content and improve wearing comfort. The oxygen transmission value of ACUVUE OASYS^® is about 25% higher than the value seen for 1-DAY ACUVUE^® TruEye^®. This also explains the extended wearing modality of ACUVUE OASYS^®. In general, daily replaceable lenses are more expensive than weekly or monthly lenses and so is the case here. If you're budget conscious, ACUVUE OASYS^® might be the better choice for you (but always discuss with your eye care practitioner).
