If you're looking for a contact lens that is known as one of the best selling contacts on the market, look to Acuvue 2. This is one of the newest and most innovative lenses produced by Johnson & Johnson, a leading manufacturer of corrective lenses.

The versatility of this brand of contacts makes it a perfect choice for new users who may not yet have developed a preference for daily wear or extended wear contacts. In the past, contact wearers had to choose between extended wear lenses that could be worn 24-hours a day or daily wear lenses. With Acuvue 2, you can have both. If you wear the Acuvue 2 contact lenses during the day only, taking them out each night, a single pair will last you two weeks. However, if you prefer to put them in and forget about them for an extended period of time, you can even sleep in them and only need to replace them with a new pair once a week.

As an added incentive, Johnson & Johnson designed the Acuvue 2 contact lenses with ultraviolet (UV) blocking technology. Keep in mind that prolonged exposure to the UV rays transmitted by the sun or tanning beds can harm your eyes and has even been linked to the development of cataracts. On average, Acuvue 2 blocks out 82% of UV-A radiation and 97% of UV-B radiation. This protection only applies to your cornea, so it is advised that you still wear sunglasses to protect your entire eye.

For individuals who like the option of changing their eye color while correcting their vision or who have no need for corrective lenses, Acuvue 2 also comes in a colored version called Acuvue 2 Colours. This lens comes in ten dazzling colors:

* Sapphire Blue
* Deep Blue
* Ocean Blue
* Aquamarine
* Jade Green
* Hazel Green
* Emerald Green
* Pearl Gray
* Warm Honey
* Chestnut Brown

If you're concerned whether Accuvue 2 is right for you, consult with your optometrist who can examine your eyes and advise you on the right lenses for your specific vision needs.
