Five Key Features of ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-DAY

All-Day Moisture for Lasting Comfort

• Features Johnson & Johnson’s proprietary TearStable™ Technology.
• PVP, a moisture agent, spreads through the lens and stabilises the tear film.
• Provides a clear vision while keeping your eyes hydrated.
• Ensures comfortable wear all day long.

Helps Reduce Blinking-Related Discomfort

• When the tear film is unstable or lacks moisture, friction can occur between the eyelid and the lens with every blink, causing discomfort.
• PVP also helps reduce friction during blinking, while keeping the lens surface smooth for a comfortable wearing experience with less irritation or grittiness.

Clear Vision Even on Digital Screens

• 1-Day Acuvue Oasys MAX features a built-in HEV (High-Energy Visible) filter.
• HEV light, part of the visible spectrum, has high energy and scatters easily, which can cause discomfort or glare.
• Digital screens such as computers and smartphones emit HEV light.
• This lens blocks approximately 60% of HEV light, helping reduce eye strain.
• Supports vibrant, comfortable vision even during extended screen use.

Protects eye health with plenty of oxygen

• Oxygen is essential for maintaining eye health.
• 1-Day Acuvue Oasys MAX uses silicone hydrogel material, allowing high oxygen permeability.
• Delivers almost the same amount of oxygen to the cornea as when the eyes are bare.
• Plenty of oxygen helps prevent problems caused by oxygen deficiency in the cornea.

Shields Eyes from Harmful UV Rays

• 1-Day Acuvue Oasys MAX contains a UV-blocking agent.
• Cuts more than 99.9% of UVB and over 99.7% of UVA rays.
• This high level of UV protection helps prevent eye problems caused by ultraviolet exposure.

Key Differences: 1-Day Acuvue Oasys MAX vs. 1-Day Acuvue Oasys

1-Day Acuvue Oasys MAX is an upgraded version of the standard 1-Day Acuvue Oasys, with enhanced features.
Here’s a look at the key differences between Oasys MAX and the standard Oasys.

Main Feature Comparisons

Blue Light Filter: With / Without

• 1-Day Acuvue Oasys MAX features a built-in filter that blocks short-wavelength light, while the standard Oasys does not.
• Short-wavelength light tends to scatter easily, which can cause discomfort or glare.
• For those concerned about screen glare from computers or smartphones, or who want clearer, more comfortable vision, Oasys MAX is the recommended choice.

UV CutRate

1-Day Acuvue Oasys MAX offers higher UV protection than the standard Oasys. That said, the standard Oasys also provides a high level of UV protection, ensuring excellent performance.

Toric Lenses (for Astigmatism): Available / Unavailable

Acuvue Oasys 1-Day with HydraLuxe Astigmatism (standard Oasys) is available as a toric lens for astigmatism. Its unique lens design aligns with the eye with every blink, helping to provide stable, clear vision.
1-Day Acuvue Oasys MAX does not yet offer a toric version as of March 2026. If you have astigmatism, the standard Oasys is the recommended choice.

Comparison: 1-Day Acuvue Oasys MAX vs. Dailies Total1

Like 1-Day Acuvue Oasys MAX, Alcon’s Dailies Total1 is also a high-performance contact lens that has gained strong popularity.

Detailed Differences in Approaches to Comfort

• Ideal for those prioritising smooth wear and high oxygen permeability.

1-Day Acuvue Oasys MAX contains a UV-blocking agent, helping to protect the eyes from potential problems caused by ultraviolet rays.

On the other hand, Dailies Total 1 does not have UV protection. If you want to protect your eyes from UV exposure, 1-Day Acuvue Oasys MAX is the recommended choice.
