Surevue contact lenses provide consistent performance and a comfortable fit at a reasonable price. Although not as well known as the Acuvue brand, both lenses are made by the same division of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care. Surevue contact lenses offer a good value if you're looking for a frequent replacement lens.

Surevue contact lenses are soft contact lenses that can be used for either daily or extended wear. If your eyecare advisor recommends them for daily wear, they have a scheduled replacement period of two weeks. If you're able to wear them overnight, they can be worn for up to a week of continuous use.

Like all soft lenses, Surevue contact lenses have a high water content. At 55% water, these lenses strike a balance between comfort and slowing the buildup of deposits from the air and your eye. But if the lenses are used for daily wear, they must be cleaned and disinfected like other daily-use lenses.

Because soft contact lenses are so flexible, it's possible to turn them inside out. And unless you look carefully at the lens, you won't know until after you put the lens in. But Surevue contact lenses have a simple solution to this problem. On the side of each lens is the number sequence "1 2 3". When you're ready to put the lens in and it's on your fingertip, you check the numbers and if they read "3 2 1", you'll know the lens is inside out. And no, the numbers aren't visible when you're wearing the contacts.

It's become known that prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun can be a health hazard. So Surevue contact lenses have a UV blocking ability. Because they don't cover all of your eye, they're not a replacement for good sunglasses, but they do add an extra measure of protection.
