ACUVUE® OASYS with Transitions™

Hate that feeling of having to squint whenever your eyes are exposed to harsh light?

Now, you may not have to, thanks to the new Acuvue® Oasys Contact Lenses with Transitions™ Light Intelligent Technology™ which automatically darken when exposed to bright light.

The first-of-its-kind contact lenses—which offer the highest level of UV protection available in contact lenses, including 100% protection against UVB rays—darken in less than a minute, and fade back to clear in about 90 seconds when you're no longer in bright light. As a result, the two-week reusable lenses continuously adapt from clear to dark and back again, helping your eyes adjust to changing indoor or outdoor light conditions more effectively than your eyes could do on their own.

It's such truly innovative technology that "Time" named Acuvue Oasys with Transitions Light Intelligent Technology to its list of the 50 best inventions of 2018.

Research found that people who wore these photochromic contact lenses had faster photostress recovery, less squinting on average and improved chromatic contrast compared to those who wore the leading reusable contact lens.

An interesting story

In March 27, 2019 – Johnson & Johnson Vision announced a collaboration with professional baseball player Bryce Harper to serve as an ACUVUE OASYS with TRANSITIONS ambassador. Bryce was wearing ACUVUE OASYS with TRANSITIONS on the field during the 2019 season and sharing his firsthand experience through a video content series. 

“My eyes have to be in tip-top shape to recognize pitches at bat and to react quickly in the field, in all types of lighting conditions,” said Bryce Harper. “Since I’ve been wearing ACUVUE OASYS with TRANSITIONS to get ready for the season, I’m able to squint less and see more.”

No. They’re not a substitute for protective UV-absorbing eyewear, such as UV-absorbing goggles or sunglasses, because they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area. However, they can be used with sunglasses.
