Hydrogel lenses like Acuvue 2 are highly compatible with the eye but have physical limits on how much oxygen they can transmit.

This is a functional advantage for people who struggle with the gritty sensation frequently associated with contact lens wear. By integrating the wetting agent into the lens rather than just coating the surface, the moisture stays intact throughout the entire 14 day wearing cycle.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Standard hydrogel lenses like Acuvue 2 may lose moisture more quickly in dry air because they rely on their high water content to stay soft. When the environment is dry, the water in the lens can evaporate which causes the lens to tighten on the eye. Acuvue Oasys resists this effect by using its internal wetting agent to keep the surface lubricated. This technology delivers a smoother experience for users who move between different indoor and outdoor climates.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-500ccff elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"500ccff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Comparison Of Biweekly Lenses\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-faf226a elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"faf226a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gl-compare-wrap\">\n  <div class=\"gl-compare-card\">\n    <div class=\"gl-compare-top\">\n      <div class=\"gl-head-feature\">Feature<\/div>\n      <div class=\"gl-head-product\">Acuvue 2<\/div>\n      <div class=\"gl-head-product\">Acuvue Oasys<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gl-compare-row\">\n      <div class=\"gl-feature\">Material<\/div>\n      <div>Etafilcon A<\/div>\n      <div>Senofilcon A<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gl-compare-row\">\n      <div class=\"gl-feature\">Water Content<\/div>\n      <div>58 Percent<\/div>\n      <div>38 Percent<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gl-compare-row\">\n      <div class=\"gl-feature\">Oxygen Flow<\/div>\n      <div>25 Dk over t<\/div>\n      <div>147 Dk over t<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gl-compare-row\">\n      <div class=\"gl-feature\">Wetting Agent<\/div>\n      <div>None Added<\/div>\n      <div>Hydraclear Plus<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gl-compare-row\">\n      <div class=\"gl-feature\">UV Protection<\/div>\n      <div>Class 2<\/div>\n      <div>Class 1<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"gl-compare-row\">\n      <div class=\"gl-feature\">Replacement<\/div>\n      <div>14 Days<\/div>\n      <div>14 Days<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-675d805 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"675d805\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Selecting The Correct Lens For Your Eyes\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c428862 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c428862\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Your daily routine and environmental exposures are the most significant factors when choosing between these two options.
