Product Description

Overview

Acuvue 2 contact lenses from Johnson & Johnson are bi-weekly disposable lenses that have been a trusted vision correction option since 1998. Available for both myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness), these lenses combine a comfortable hydrogel material with UV protection and a practical two-week replacement schedule.

Made from Etafilcon A hydrogel with 58% water content, Acuvue 2 lenses are a well-established, reliable option for everyday vision correction — particularly suited to wearers who prefer a hydrogel lens with a longer wear cycle than daily disposables.


Key Features

  • Etafilcon A Hydrogel Material: Acuvue 2 lenses are made from Etafilcon A, a hydrogel material with 58% water content. This provides a lightweight, comfortable lens that maintains moisture throughout the day and delivers reliable visual clarity across a full two-week wear period.
  • INFINITY EDGE™ Design: The INFINITY EDGE™ design creates a smooth, consistent lens edge that minimizes friction during blinking and reduces the sensation of the lens on the eye — supporting all-day comfort from the first moment of wear.
  • Class 2 UV Protection: Acuvue 2 lenses offer Class 2 UV protection, blocking approximately 88% of UVA rays and 99% of UVB rays. Note: Contact lenses do not cover the entire eye and are not a substitute for UV-protective sunglasses or eyewear.
  • Visibility Tint and Inside-Out Indicator: A blue visibility tint and inside-out indicator make these lenses easier to locate, handle, and insert correctly — a particularly useful feature for new contact lens wearers.
  • Bi-Weekly Replacement Schedule: Each lens is designed for up to two weeks of daily wear with nightly removal, cleaning, and storage. Replacing lenses every two weeks maintains optical clarity and reduces the risk of deposit build-up.

Acuvue 2 vs Newer Acuvue Lenses

Acuvue 2 is made from Etafilcon A, a traditional hydrogel material, rather than the silicone hydrogel used in newer Acuvue Oasys lenses. Key differences to be aware of:

Feature Acuvue 2 Acuvue Oasys (bi-weekly)
Material Etafilcon A (hydrogel) Senofilcon A (silicone hydrogel)
Water Content 58% Lower, but higher O₂ permeability
Oxygen Transmissibility (Dk/t) 33 Higher
UV Protection Class 2 (88% UVA / 99% UVB) Class 1 (~96% UVA / >99% UVB)
Wetting Technology Standard hydrogel HYDRACLEAR® PLUS
Replacement Schedule Bi-weekly Bi-weekly

Acuvue 2 remains a popular and proven option for everyday wearers. Whether it or a newer silicone hydrogel lens is the better fit for you depends on your prescription, eye health, and lifestyle — your eye care professional can advise.

Prescription Range

Myopia (Nearsightedness)

Myopia occurs when the eyeball is slightly elongated, causing light to focus in front of the retina rather than on it — making distant objects appear blurry. Acuvue 2 uses a minus-power prescription to diverge incoming light and reposition the focal point correctly onto the retina.

Hyperopia (Farsightedness)

Hyperopia occurs when the eye is shorter than normal, causing light to focus behind the retina — making nearby objects difficult to see clearly. A plus-power prescription converges light rays to bring the focal point forward onto the retina.

Acuvue 2 is not designed for astigmatism correction. For astigmatism, Johnson & Johnson offers Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism and 1-Day Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism. Always consult your eye care professional to confirm the correct prescription and lens type for your needs.

Usage and Care

Acuvue 2 lenses are designed for daily wear with a two-week replacement cycle. These lenses are not approved for overnight or extended wear — they must be removed each night before sleep.

Each pair should be:

  • Removed each night before sleep
  • Cleaned with a recommended multi-purpose or peroxide-based contact lens solution
  • Stored in a clean case with fresh solution overnight — never reuse old solution
  • Replaced with a fresh pair every two weeks

Key care reminders:

  • Always wash and thoroughly dry hands before handling lenses
  • Never expose lenses to water of any kind — including tap water, pool water, or shower water
  • Replace your lens case every three months

Never wear Acuvue 2 lenses overnight or beyond the two-week replacement schedule. Doing so increases the risk of deposit build-up, eye discomfort, and complications.

Who Are Acuvue 2 6 Pack Lenses Best For?

  • Established Acuvue 2 wearers: For those already prescribed and comfortable with this lens, the 6-pack provides a convenient 3-month supply for one eye.
  • Wearers who prefer hydrogel over silicone hydrogel: Some wearers find traditional hydrogel lenses more immediately comfortable, particularly when first transitioning to contact lenses.
  • Those seeking a proven, trusted lens: With over 25 years on the market, Acuvue 2 has a well-established track record of comfort and reliability.
  • Outdoor and active lifestyles: Class 2 UV protection provides a meaningful level of defense against UV exposure during outdoor activities.
  • Budget-conscious wearers: Acuvue 2 is typically available at a lower price point than premium silicone hydrogel alternatives.

Individual suitability varies. Always confirm with your eye care professional before purchasing or switching lenses.

FAQ

Acuvue 2 FAQs

What are Acuvue 2 contact lenses?

Acuvue 2 are bi-weekly disposable contact lenses from Johnson & Johnson, available for myopia and hyperopia correction. Made from Etafilcon A hydrogel with 58% water content, they feature an INFINITY EDGE™ design for all-day comfort, Class 2 UV protection, and a blue visibility tint for easy handling. They have been manufactured since 1998 and remain a widely used, trusted lens option.

Are Acuvue 2 contacts monthly or bi-weekly?

Acuvue 2 contacts are bi-weekly — each pair is designed for up to two weeks of daily wear before replacement. They are not monthly lenses and should not be worn beyond the two-week replacement schedule.

Can you sleep in Acuvue 2 contacts?

No. Acuvue 2 contacts are daily wear lenses only and are not approved for overnight or extended wear. They must be removed, cleaned, and stored each night before sleep. Wearing these lenses overnight increases the risk of eye discomfort and infection.

How many boxes of Acuvue 2 do I need for a year's supply?

Each box of Acuvue 2 6 Pack contains 6 lenses — a 3-month supply for one eye. For a full year's supply for both eyes you will need 8 boxes — 4 boxes per eye.

Is Acuvue 2 discontinued?

No. Acuvue 2 contacts have been in continuous production since 1998 and remain available. They are one of Johnson & Johnson's longest-running contact lens products.

Are Acuvue 2 lenses available for both nearsightedness and farsightedness?

Yes. Acuvue 2 lenses are available for both myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness) correction.

Are Acuvue 2 lenses available for astigmatism?

No. Acuvue 2 lenses are designed for myopia and hyperopia only. For astigmatism correction, Johnson & Johnson offers Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism and 1-Day Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism — both specifically designed toric lenses. Consult your eye care professional to confirm which lens is appropriate for your prescription.

Do Acuvue 2 lenses offer UV protection?

Yes. Acuvue 2 lenses offer Class 2 UV protection, blocking approximately 88% of UVA rays and 99% of UVB rays. Contact lenses do not cover the entire eye and should not replace UV-protective sunglasses or eyewear.

What is the oxygen transmissibility of Acuvue 2 lenses?

Acuvue 2 lenses have a Dk/t value of 33. Dk/t measures how much oxygen passes through a lens to reach the eye — a higher value means more oxygen transmission. As a hydrogel lens, Acuvue 2 has a lower Dk/t than silicone hydrogel alternatives.

What material are Acuvue 2 lenses made from?

Acuvue 2 lenses are made from Etafilcon A, a hydrogel material with 58% water content. This provides a soft, lightweight lens with good comfort and reliable optical clarity throughout the two-week wear period.

Are Acuvue 2 lenses suitable for dry eyes?

Acuvue 2 lenses have a 58% water content which supports a degree of on-eye hydration during daily wear. However, they do not incorporate the advanced moisture-retention technologies found in newer silicone hydrogel lenses such as Acuvue Oasys with HYDRACLEAR® PLUS. Wearers with significant dry eye symptoms may wish to discuss whether a more moisture-focused lens option is appropriate with their eye care professional. Individual results vary.

Are Acuvue 2 lenses suitable for sensitive eyes?

Acuvue 2 lenses are made from a soft, smooth hydrogel material and include the INFINITY EDGE™ design to minimize friction during blinking — features that many wearers with sensitive eyes find comfortable. Individual sensitivity varies — always consult your eye care professional to confirm the best lens for your needs.

Are Acuvue 2 contacts suitable for sports and physical activities?

Yes. Acuvue 2 lenses are generally suitable for most sports and physical activities. The Class 2 UV protection provides a useful level of defense during outdoor activities. For water sports, lenses should be removed before entering the water. For contact sports or activities with a risk of eye injury, appropriate protective eyewear should be worn. Consult your eye care professional for sport-specific guidance.

Can I wear Acuvue 2 contacts while swimming or showering?

No. It is not recommended to wear any contact lenses while swimming, showering, or in contact with water of any kind. Water — including tap water, pool water, and natural bodies of water — can harbour microorganisms that may adhere to lens surfaces and increase the risk of serious eye infections. Remove lenses before any water-based activity.

Are Acuvue 2 contacts suitable for night driving or low-light conditions?

Acuvue 2 lenses provide clear vision correction across a range of conditions including low light. Contact lenses do not inherently reduce or enhance night vision — the quality of your night vision depends primarily on your prescription accuracy and eye health. If you are experiencing difficulty with night driving, consult your eye care professional.

Are Acuvue 2 lenses easy to insert and remove for beginners?

Yes. Acuvue 2 lenses are well-suited for new contact lens wearers. The blue visibility tint makes lenses easier to see and locate in the packaging, and the inside-out indicator helps ensure correct orientation before insertion. Your eye care professional will demonstrate insertion and removal technique as part of your contact lens fitting.

Is an Acuvue 2 6 Pack enough for occasional wearers or travel?

One box of Acuvue 2 6 Pack provides 6 lenses — a 3-month supply for one eye on a bi-weekly replacement schedule. For occasional wearers who use lenses less frequently, the per-lens supply may last longer. However, note that Acuvue 2 requires nightly removal and proper cleaning and storage, which is worth considering for travel.

How should Acuvue 2 contact lenses be properly cared for and stored?

Follow this routine each day:

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry hands with mild soap before handling lenses.
  2. Remove lenses each night and clean with a recommended multi-purpose or peroxide-based solution.
  3. Rinse the lens case and allow it to air dry — never reuse old solution.
  4. Fill with fresh solution, place lenses in the case, and close securely.
  5. Replace your lens case every three months or sooner if damaged.
  6. Replace lenses every two weeks — even if they still feel comfortable.

Never rinse lenses with tap water. Always follow your eye care professional's guidance and the instructions provided with your lens solution.

How do Acuvue 2 lenses compare to other contact lens brands?

Acuvue 2 is a proven, long-standing bi-weekly hydrogel lens offering reliable vision correction, Class 2 UV protection, and comfortable daily wear. Compared to silicone hydrogel bi-weekly alternatives, the Dk/t value is lower and UV protection is Class 2 rather than Class 1. For wearers who prioritize oxygen permeability, advanced moisture retention, or higher UV protection, a silicone hydrogel option may be worth discussing with your eye care professional.

Do I need a prescription to purchase Acuvue 2 contact lenses?

Yes. A valid contact lens prescription from a licensed eye care professional is required to purchase Acuvue 2 lenses. Contact lenses are regulated medical devices. WebEyeCare will verify your prescription according to the current rules and regulations.

What are the potential side effects or risks of wearing Acuvue 2 lenses?

As with all contact lenses, improper use or handling can lead to dryness, discomfort, irritation, redness, or in more serious cases, eye infections or corneal complications. These risks are minimized by following the recommended wear schedule, maintaining proper hygiene, and never wearing the lenses beyond the two-week replacement schedule. If you experience persistent discomfort, redness, or changes in vision, remove the lenses and consult your eye care professional promptly.

How comfortable are Acuvue 2 lenses for daily wear?

Acuvue 2 lenses are made from Etafilcon A hydrogel with 58% water content and an INFINITY EDGE™ design that helps minimize friction during blinking. Many wearers find them soft, lightweight, and comfortable for daily wear, although comfort can vary by individual.

  • Proven, Trusted Lens: Acuvue 2 has been available since 1998 and remains a widely used bi-weekly option for everyday vision correction.
  • Class 2 UV Protection: These lenses block approximately 88% of UVA and 99% of UVB radiation, adding a useful level of protection during outdoor activities.
  • Comfortable Hydrogel Material: Etafilcon A hydrogel with 58% water content provides a soft, lightweight feel and good daily comfort.
  • INFINITY EDGE™ Design: The smooth edge profile helps reduce lens awareness during blinking.
  • Easy Handling: The blue visibility tint and inside-out indicator make insertion and removal easier, especially for newer wearers.

Cons

  • Not Approved for Overnight Wear: Acuvue 2 must be removed each night and is not suitable for extended wear.
  • Lower Oxygen Permeability Than Silicone Hydrogel Alternatives: With a Dk/t of 33, it offers less oxygen transmission than newer silicone hydrogel lenses.
  • Requires Cleaning and Storage: These bi-weekly lenses need regular lens care and disciplined replacement.
  • Not Designed for Astigmatism: Standard Acuvue 2 lenses are intended for myopia and hyperopia only.

The Acuvue 2 6 Pack from Johnson & Johnson is a long-established bi-weekly disposable contact lens designed for wearers with myopia or hyperopia. In our evaluation, the strength of this lens lies in its balance of comfort, straightforward handling, and dependable daily visual performance.

For wearers who prefer a traditional hydrogel material over silicone hydrogel, Acuvue 2 remains a familiar and reliable option. It combines practical two-week replacement with UV protection and a comfortable, lightweight on-eye feel.

Material

Acuvue 2 lenses are made from Etafilcon A, a hydrogel material with 58% water content. This creates a soft, lightweight lens that supports comfort and reliable visual clarity throughout the two-week wear period.

According to the study Thirty years of ‘quiet eye’ with etafilcon A contact lenses, etafilcon A demonstrated a higher water content than several older lens materials, which helps explain why it has remained a long-standing choice for comfortable daily wear.

The INFINITY EDGE™ design complements the material by creating a smoother lens edge that helps reduce friction during blinking and supports a more natural wearing experience.

Acuvue 2 Family Picture

Hydration

Hydration is one of the key strengths of Acuvue 2. The 58% water content supports a comfortable on-eye feel during daily wear, and many wearers find the lens stays comfortable across normal daytime use.

As with most hydrogel lenses, some users may notice dryness after very long hours of wear or in dry environments. In those cases, your eye care professional may recommend rewetting drops or a different lens material depending on your needs.

UV Blocking

Acuvue 2 offers Class 2 UV protection, blocking approximately 88% of UVA and 99% of UVB rays. This is a valuable added feature for everyday outdoor use.

These lenses do not cover the entire eye area, so they should not be used as a replacement for UV-blocking sunglasses or protective eyewear.

Usage

With proper care and cleaning, Acuvue 2 lenses are designed to be worn for up to two weeks on a daily wear basis. They must be removed each night, cleaned, and stored in fresh solution.

For many wearers, they provide comfortable daytime use, but lenses should never be worn overnight or beyond the recommended replacement schedule.

Comfort

In our assessment, Acuvue 2 delivers a comfortable daily wear experience for many users thanks to its hydrogel material, high water content, and smooth-edge design. The lens is often appreciated by wearers who prefer a softer, more traditional hydrogel feel.

Comfort varies by individual, and wearers who experience persistent dryness or irritation may benefit from discussing newer silicone hydrogel alternatives with their eye care professional.

Here is a comparison table showing how Acuvue 2 stacks up against other popular reusable lenses:

Lens Wear Schedule UV Protection Water Content Oxygen Permeability
Acuvue 2 1-2 Weekly Blocks 99% of harmful UVB & 88% of UVA 58% 33 Dk/t
Acuvue Oasys 1-2 Weekly Blocks >99.9% of harmful UVB & 96.1% of UVA 38% 147 Dk/t
Avaira Vitality 1-2 Weekly Blocks 90% harmful UVA and 99% UVB rays 55% 110 Dk/t
Biomedics 55 Premier Aspheric 1-2 Weekly Blocks 70% of harmful UVA and 96% of UVB rays 55% 28.1 Dk/t

Conclusion

Acuvue 2 remains a dependable bi-weekly contact lens for wearers who want a proven hydrogel option with good comfort, practical UV protection, and straightforward handling. It is especially suitable for users who are already comfortable with hydrogel lenses and want a reliable, familiar wearing experience.

While it does not offer the oxygen permeability of silicone hydrogel alternatives, it continues to be a trusted lens choice for many wearers when used correctly and replaced on schedule.
