UV Protection in 1-Day Acuvue Moist 90 Pack: What You Need to Know
1-Day Acuvue Moist 90 Pack includes UV protection built directly into the lens material. Here is what the UV protection means, how it is classified, and what it can and cannot protect against.
UV Classification: Class 2
1-Day Acuvue Moist lenses offer Class 2 UV protection, blocking approximately 97% of UVB rays and 82% of UVA rays.
| Classification | UVB Blocking | UVA Blocking |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 (highest) | >99% | >90% |
| Class 2 | >95% | >70% |
| 1-Day Acuvue Moist | ~97% | ~82% |
What UV Protection in Contacts Covers
The UV-blocking material covers the optical zone — over the cornea and pupil — protecting internal eye structures directly behind the lens including the crystalline lens and retina.
What It Does Not Cover
Contact lenses do not cover the entire eye, the eyelids, or surrounding skin. UV-blocking sunglasses remain important even when wearing UV-protective contact lenses.
The Class 2 UV protection in 1-Day Acuvue Moist is a useful additional layer of UV defense — a complement to, not a replacement for, UV-protective sunglasses.
