Selling Points: Acuvue Vita for Astigmatism combines two technologies: HydraMax Technology, which is a non-coated silicone hydrogel formulation balanced to help maximize and maintain hydration throughout the lens and Blink Stabilized Design, which works naturally with the eyelids to keep the lenses in the correct position. Additionally, Acuvue Vita for Astigmatism provides Class I UV protection, blocking approximately 93 percent of UVA and 99 percent of UVB rays.
