Abiliti™ Overnight Lenses - Treat Myopia While They Sleep
ACUVUE® Abiliti™ Overnight Therapeutic Lenses are the first and only orthokeratology (ortho-k) lenses that are approved for slowing the progression of myopia in children in Canada, while typically providing glasses-free vision during the day.*†1
These lenses have been successfully used in thousands of patients for over 15 years in markets around the world.‡,2 An added benefit of Abiliti™ Overnight can be that your child can be completely lens-free during the day, meaning they can participate in all activities, including water-sports, without worrying about glasses. †1
How Do They Work?
When worn overnight, Abiliti™ Overnight lenses gently and temporarily reshape the surface of your child s eye while they sleep.3-6 This gentle reshaping slows the progression of their myopia and lets them be glasses-free throughout the day. For most individuals, no other vision correction is needed. †1
What Are the Benefits?
Slow myopia progression
Abiliti™ Overnight lenses have been shown to slow myopia progression, on average by approximately three prescription steps in just two years^,7-10
Clear glasses-free vision
Typically providing clear vision during the day without the need for eyeglasses or daytime contact lenses.†1
Better performance in school and sports
Kids wearing Abiliti™ Overnight lenses report better performance in school and sports compared to wearing glasses. ^11
Boost your child's confidence
Higher ratings of appearance, confidence and peer perception are also reported by patients wearing Abiliti™ Overnight lenses, compared to wearing glasses.^11
Peace of mind
Because parents can help with insertion and removal at home, Abiliti™ Overnight lenses are a good option for young children.
Are They Safe And Comfortable To Wear?
In three studies accounting for over 200 patient-years of wear, no serious adverse events (or serious complications) were found with Abiliti™ Overnight lenses wear.7,9,12 The lenses were designed to keep eyes comfortable with features that help retain moisture and provide high oxygen flow.13 This means you can trust Abiliti™ Overnight lenses to work safely and comfortably when used as intended.14
Which Abiliti™ lens is better for my child?
Abiliti™ 1-Day lenses are another great option for slowing the progression of myopia. Instead of being worn at night like Abiliti™ Overnight lenses, they are worn during the day to slow myopia progression and provide vision correction.15 These lenses are thrown away at the end of every day, making cleaning and care simple for kids on the go. An Abiliti™ prescriber can help you decide which lens is right for your child.
