More screen time means more strain on your eyes. Between phones, computers, and tablets, most people now spend an average of seven hours a day in front of digital devices and for some, it’s nearly double that. These screens emit High Energy Visible (HEV) light, also called blue light, which can affect eye comfort and long-term vision health.
Sunlight is another major source of blue light, meaning exposure happens indoors and outdoors. Over time, this can contribute to eye fatigue, dryness, and visual discomfort.
That’s why the new ACUVUE® OASYS MAX 1-Day lenses are a breakthrough for contact lens wearers. Designed with two advanced features TearStable™ Technology and the OptiBlue™ Light Filter, they help reduce blue light exposure and maintain lasting comfort throughout the day.
Why Blue Light Causes Tired Eyes
When looking at screens, people blink up to 60% less often. Fewer blinks cause the tear film on your eyes to evaporate faster, leading to dryness and irritation. Blue light also scatters easily, creating visual “noise” that makes it harder for your eyes to focus. The result? Eye strain, fatigue, and reduced contrast.
The OASYS MAX lenses are designed to combat these effects, keeping vision sharp and eyes feeling fresh, even through long workdays.
All-Day Comfort with TearStable™ Technology
Dry eyes are one of the biggest complaints among contact lens wearers. TearStable™ Technology helps prevent that by maintaining a stable tear film on the lens surface. The result is hydrated, comfortable eyes from morning to night.
Benefits of TearStable™ Technology:
- Long-lasting comfort and consistent hydration
- Clear, sharp vision all day
- Reduced screen-related eye fatigue
Advanced Blue Light and UV Protection
Our eyes naturally let most blue light pass through, which can damage retinal cells over time. Extended exposure may also increase the risk of cataracts and other eye conditions.
OptiBlue™ Light Filter provides the highest level of blue light filtration available in a contact lens, reducing light scatter and glare while improving contrast. It also blocks harmful UV rays for added protection.
Benefits of OptiBlue™ Light Filter:
- Filters 60% of blue light from screens and sunlight
- Reduces glare, halos, and starbursts
- Blocks 90% UVA and 99% UVB rays
Note: ACUVUE® OASYS MAX lenses are not a substitute for UV-blocking eyewear. For complete UV protection, continue wearing sunglasses outdoors.
