LACREON® Technology
To keep patients satisfied, the 1-DAY ACUVUE® MOIST family features LACREON® Technology, which provides exceptional comfort from morning to night.5,6 It employs a unique process to permanently embed a water-holding ingredient (PVP), which is not blinked away.7
LACREON® Technology locks PVP into the lens, to help establish a stable tear film over the top of the contact lens, minimising lens discomfort.8
