FAQs
What is Acuvue TruEye?
Acuvue TruEye is a type of contact lens manufactured by Johnson & Johnson. They are made of silicone hydrogel and their Hydraclear technology keeps eyes moist and healthy.
What's the difference between Acuvue Moist and TruEye?
While both lenses are daily disposables, the major difference between Acuvue Moist and TruEye contact lenses is the material they are made of.
TruEye lenses are made from silicone hydrogel, which allows high levels of oxygen to permeate through the lens and helps your eyes to ‘breathe’, which helps keep the lenses comfy and your eyes healthy.
Acuvue Moist lenses are made of hydrogel, which doesn’t allow quite as much oxygen to reach your eyes, but still keeps them moist and lenses comfortable to wear. Hydrogel lenses don’t have as high a price point as silicone hydrogel lenses, so they tend to be more affordable.

Important Information for Contact Lens Wearers: ACUVUE® Contact Lenses can be used for vision correction. An Eye Care Professional will determine whether contact lenses are right for you. Although rare, serious eye problems can develop while wearing contact lenses. To help avoid these problems, follow the wear and replacement schedule and instructions on proper lens care. Do not wear contact lenses if you have an eye infection, any eye disease or systemic disease, that may affect the eye, or if you are allergic to any ingredients. If you experience eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, redness or other eye problems, remove the lens and contact your Eye Care Professional immediately.
