Frequently asked questions about Acuvue contact lenses

How much are Acuvue contact lenses?

When you buy Acuvue contact lenses, the price varies depending on the type of Acuvue contacts you are buying for your prescription, the quantity and the vendor you are buying from.

Daily Acuvue contacts are the cheapest option, but the lenses need to be replaced more frequently than two weekly or monthly lenses. As such, the modality of the lenses as well as how frequently you wear your Acuvue contacts will have an impact on the overall cost of the lenses.

Typically, a three-month supply of Acuvue contact lenses will cost between €35 - €161 for both eyes, bearing in mind differences in modality, frequency of wear and product quality.

Only Acuvue Oasys contact lenses can be used as extended wear lenses meaning you can wear these contacts whilst asleep. To buy these contacts, you need to complete a successful contact lens fitting appointment and be given a valid prescription for Acuvue extended wear contact lenses by an optician as they might not be a suitable choice for you.

Do Acuvue contact lenses have UV protection?

Most of Acuvue’s contact lenses have a UV protection feature, including 1-Day Acuvue Moist with Lacreon, Acuvue Oasys 1-Day with HydraLuxe, Acuvue Oasys with Hydraclear Plus and Acuvue Advance. Variations of these contact lenses for astigmatism and presbyopia are also among the selection which offer UV protection. However, not all of Acuvue’s products offer UV protection, so it is important to check the packaging and online information for confirmation and opt for a stylish pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays.
