FDA Clears Acuvue’s Oasys Contact Lenses

The FDA granted clearance for Acuvue’s Oasys contact lenses, which are indicated for daily use to correct vision impairments caused by myopia and hyperopia in patients with non-diseased eyes.

The lenses can also be used by individuals with certain degrees of astigmatism.

The contacts contain a photochromic additive that adjusts visible light filtered to the patient’s eye based on the amount of UV light they are exposed to, slightly darkening the lenses in bright sunlight and reverting to a regular tint in normal or darker light.
