LACREON® Technology: Built-In Moisture That Lasts All Day
What sets 1-Day Acuvue Moist apart from other daily disposable contact lenses is its proprietary LACREON® Technology. Unlike lenses that rely only on packaging solution for initial hydration, LACREON® permanently embeds a moisture-rich wetting agent — PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone) — directly into the lens material. This wetting agent is similar to the compounds found in your natural tear film, creating a cushion of moisture that stays locked inside the lens throughout the entire day.
In lab testing, no detectable amount of PVP was released from the lens over a 24-hour simulated wear period. That means the hydration stays where it belongs: on your eye, not evaporating into the air. For wearers who struggle with dry eye symptoms, afternoon discomfort, or the feeling that their lenses “dry out” by the end of the day, LACREON® Technology directly addresses those problems.
Clinically Proven Comfort — Unbeaten Across 14 Studies
1-Day Acuvue Moist isn’t just marketed as comfortable — it’s been proven comfortable in controlled clinical trials. Across 14 clinical studies posted on ClinicalTrials.gov (the U.S. National Institutes of Health registry), the 1-Day Acuvue Moist family of lenses was never beaten in subjective comfort when compared to other hydrogel daily disposable contact lenses. Those studies evaluated comfort against competitor lenses made from nelfilcon A, omafilcon A, hilafilcon B, ocufilcon D, and nesofilcon A materials.
Johnson & Johnson Vision Care also notes that 1-Day Acuvue Moist carries an excellent safety profile based on data from the TEMPO Observational Registry — a large-scale, real-world safety study tracking contact lens outcomes over time.
ACUVUE® Invisible Edge Design — Forget You’re Wearing Lenses
Comfort isn’t only about moisture. The physical interaction between your eyelid and your contact lens matters enormously. 1-Day Acuvue Moist features the ACUVUE® Invisible Edge Design — a thin, tapered lens edge that minimizes lid-lens interaction during every blink. Your eyelid glides smoothly over the lens surface as if nothing is there, reducing irritation and the sensation of a foreign object in your eye. This is especially valuable for first-time contact lens wearers and anyone who has experienced discomfort with thicker or stiffer lens edges.
UV Protection for Your Eyes
While contact lenses are not a replacement for UV-blocking sunglasses, 1-Day Acuvue Moist does provide one of the highest levels of UV protection available in a daily disposable contact lens. These lenses block approximately 97% of UVB rays and 82% of UVA rays (Class 2 UV blocking), adding an additional layer of defense for the portions of your eye that the lens covers. This is particularly relevant for contact lens wearers who spend significant time outdoors, participate in sports, or live in high-UV environments.
Why Daily Disposable Lenses Are Healthier
Choosing a daily disposable contact lens like 1-Day Acuvue Moist is one of the best decisions you can make for your eye health. Here’s why:
- Fresh, sterile lens every morning. You start each day with a brand-new, factory-sealed lens — eliminating the risk of protein deposits, lipid buildup, and bacterial contamination that accumulates on reusable lenses over days or weeks.
- No cleaning solutions or lens cases required. The daily disposable schedule removes the most common sources of contact lens infections: improperly cleaned lenses, contaminated solution, and dirty lens cases.
- Ideal for allergy sufferers. Pollen, dust, and other allergens that collect on a lens surface during the day are simply discarded rather than reintroduced to your eye the next morning.
- Perfect for occasional and full-time wear. Whether you wear contacts seven days a week or only on weekends, daily disposables give you the flexibility to wear lenses on your terms without the commitment of a monthly care routine.
Who Is 1-Day Acuvue Moist Best For?
1-Day Acuvue Moist is an excellent choice for a wide range of contact lens wearers:
- People with dry eyes who need a lens with built-in, long-lasting moisture retention.
- Allergy sufferers looking for improved comfort during seasonal allergy months.
- Computer and digital screen users who experience dryness and fatigue during long work sessions.
- Active individuals and athletes who want the convenience of disposable lenses with reliable comfort during sports and physical activity.
- First-time contact lens wearers transitioning from glasses and looking for a comfortable, easy-to-handle daily disposable.
- Current reusable lens wearers seeking a healthier, more convenient alternative to monthly or bi-weekly lenses.
- Anyone who prioritizes eye health and safety and wants an FDA-approved lens with a proven clinical track record from an authorized retailer.
Lens Material and Oxygen Performance
1-Day Acuvue Moist is made from etafilcon A, a hydrogel material with 58% water content. The lens has an oxygen transmissibility (Dk/t) of 33 at the center of a -3.00D lens, which meets the oxygen needs for open-eye (daytime) lens wear. Higher water content in hydrogel lenses generally supports better oxygen permeability, which is essential for maintaining healthy corneas during daily contact lens use.
The etafilcon A material also has a unique property: it has been shown in laboratory testing to attract and retain lysozyme — a naturally occurring enzyme in your tears — in its native, active state. This matters because lysozyme plays a role in your eye’s natural defense system against bacteria.
Available Parameters
1-Day Acuvue Moist offers a wide range of prescription parameters, making it possible for a large number of patients to find their exact fit:
- Base curves: 8.5 mm and 9.0 mm
- Diameter: 14.2 mm
- Package sizes: 30 lenses per box or 90 lenses per box
- Center thickness (at -3.00D): 0.084 mm
The 1-Day Acuvue Moist family also extends beyond the standard spherical lens. Johnson & Johnson offers 1-Day Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism (toric lenses) and 1-Day Acuvue Moist Multifocal (for presbyopia / readers over 40), providing one of the broadest parameter ranges in the daily disposable category.

Important Safety Information
1-Day Acuvue Moist contact lenses are FDA-approved daily disposable medical devices intended for single-day use. Do not sleep in these lenses — they are not approved for overnight or extended wear. Always wash your hands before handling contact lenses. If you experience redness, pain, light sensitivity, blurred vision, or discharge, remove your lenses immediately and contact your eye doctor. UV-absorbing contact lenses are not substitutes for UV-blocking sunglasses, as they do not cover the entire eye and surrounding area. A valid prescription from a licensed eye care professional is required to purchase contact lenses.
