The Acuvue® brand of contact lenses is among the world's most popular brands of disposable contact lenses. They are made by Vistakon, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. The line includes Acuvue, Acuvue 2, Acuvue 2 Colors, 1-Day Acuvue, Acuvue Bifocal, Acuvue Toric, Acuvue Advance, Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism, and Acuvue Oasys.

Acuvue, Acuvue 2, Acuvue 2 Colors, Acuvue Advance, and Acuvue Oasys are designed to be replaced every two weeks, or after 14 to 15 days worn. They generally work best for nearsighted and farsighted individuals with little to no astigmatism. The Acuvue 2 Colors is similar to the Acuvue 2 but available in various cosmetic tints, whereas the Advance and Oasys are newer lenses made with materials that are more permeable to oxygen. The 1-Day Acuvue is also for those with little to no astigmatism, but is designed to be discarded after one day's use. The Acuvue Bifocal is a two-week replacement lens typically worn by presbyopic patients who have lost their ability to change focus from far to near. The Acuvue Toric and the Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism are also two-week replacement lenses for those with more significant degrees of astigmatism; the Advance version is made with the more oxygen permeable material.
