Acuvue brand contact lenses recently announced the release of the Acuvue Oasys with Astigmatism; a lens similar to its Acuvue Advance with Astigmatism except in the Oasys material. The Oasys material allows for higher oxygen supply to the eye for healthier wear and less drying. Lens powers match the current Advance with Astigmatism. If you currently wear Acuvue Advance with Astigmatism, call us at 808-944-0002 to try the new Acuvue Oasys with Astigmatism.

The Acuvue OASYS contact lens has been available for a while but is now available in a flatter lens design. If you wear the 8.4 curvature and are experiencing dryness especially at the end of the day, the new 8.8 curvature may be better for you. 

As a proponent of flatter fitting soft contact lenses since 1996 Dr. Inouye has lectured on the use of flatter designs to reduce end of day dryness with both convention soft lens materials and the new silicone hydrogel materials. Those individuals benefiting for the flatter designs are identifiable with corneal topography or computerized mapping of the eye's surface. Dr. Inouye has been a strong advocate of corneal mapping for all contact lens patients. Dr. Inouye is quoted as saying, "Without corneal topography, a doctor cannot tell what the contact lens is doing to the eye."

PureVision Multifocal contact lenses provide both far and near vision for those individuals normally needing bifocal lenses to see both far and near distances. Like its predecessor the SofLens 66 Multifocal, the PureVision Multifocal provides better vision than most multifocal soft contact lenses with some compromises. Made of a silicone hydrogel material that provides higher oxygen transmission for healthier wear and less dryness, the PureVision Mulitfocal is first of the next generation of multifocal lenses.
