Acuvue Define has sophisticated iris-inspired designs with high definition patterns that combine an outer darker limbal ring with a clean, clear limbal edge with crisp contrast – to give eyes greater definition by creating contrast between the iris and sclera – and an inner translucent light-effects pattern – to add depth and definition without changing the eye’s natural colour. The lens provides personalized eye enhancement that uniquely interacts with each iris pattern.
