Introducing ACUVUEĀ® Abilitiā„¢

A powerful approach to managing the progression of myopia in children.

Myopia is a silent epidemic affecting millions of children around the world1ā€”and it is growing fast. It is the greatest eye health threat of the 21st century.2
Research shows that myopia is more than just nearsightedness3. It is a chronic, progressive disease associated with a risk of significant complications later in life3-5 that threatens to take away our most treasured sense: Sight.
