How Does HYDRACLEAR® PLUS Technology Work in the Acuvue Oasys 24 Pack?
HYDRACLEAR® PLUS Technology is the moisture system built into every lens in the bi-weekly Acuvue Oasys family — including the 24 Pack. It allows these lenses to maintain comfort not just across a single day, but across a full two-week wear cycle with nightly removal and reuse.
The Challenge of Bi-Weekly Lens Comfort
A daily disposable lens only needs to perform for one day. A bi-weekly lens must maintain comfort and moisture properties across up to 14 separate days of wear — each time being reinserted after overnight storage in solution. Every reinsertion cycle subjects the lens to handling, cleaning solution contact, and the repeated need to re-establish a stable tear film interaction.
How HYDRACLEAR® PLUS Works
HYDRACLEAR® PLUS embeds a high concentration of a tear-like wetting agent directly within the Senofilcon A silicone hydrogel material. The wetting agent is chemically integrated into the lens matrix — not applied as a surface coating — so it cannot wash off during cleaning, degrade through repeated handling, or diminish over the two-week wear cycle. The high concentration ensures meaningful, consistent moisture from the first moment of wear each day. This creates a smooth, wet lens surface that mimics the mucin layer of the natural tear film, supporting consistent tear film stability.
Performance in Practice
Wearers of bi-weekly Acuvue Oasys consistently report lenses feeling similarly comfortable on day 14 as on day 1 — the functional goal of HYDRACLEAR® PLUS Technology. The Senofilcon A silicone hydrogel material also provides a Dk/t of 103, supporting healthy corneal oxygenation throughout the two-week cycle. Consult your eye care professional to confirm whether Acuvue Oasys bi-weekly is appropriate for your needs.
