Introducing
Abilitiâ„¢ Overnight Therapeutic Lenses for Myopia Management

Acuvue Abiliti™ – overnight lenses for myopia management
Abiliti™ Overnight lenses are approved in EU for myopia control and have been shown to reduce axial elongation in myopic children by 0.28mm, on average, over a 2-year period.*,1-4 Worn overnight, these lenses temporarily reshape the cornea5-8, and allow patients to see clearly the next day after being worn overnight.†,9 Each lens is specifically designed to fit the unique shape of each patient's unique corneal shape and prescription.10Abiliti™ Overnight lenses can help manage the progression of your child's myopia.

Mode of action:

Orthokeratology lenses act by flattening and redistributing central corneal tissue leading to mid peripheral corneal steepening.12

Why treat myopia with Abilitiâ„¢ Overnight lenses?

FitAbilitiâ„¢ experiential fitting software

Leverages the latest technology to offer a first fit success rate of approximately 90% for spherical prescriptions‡ and 95% for with the rule astigmatic prescriptions.§,8,11,13

Lifestyle benefit with glasses- free during daytime

Significant improvement in vision-related quality of life for patients, compared to single vision spectacles2

Astigmatism coverage

Approved to treat corneal astigmatism up to 2.50D9

Comfort usually not an issue

Sufficient corneal oxygenation provides comfortable, safe wear with a DK of 1829
