Contact Prescription Name – Acuvue2 Colours?
August 30th, 2010 | See the Top Answers to this Question Below
Hi everyone,
is there an exact/set standard description that a contact lens prescription has to have, for Acuvue2 Colours (this is the example I’m using in my report)? Or does it just need to be composed of certain details (by the doctor of course), such as power, name (and can it vary?), diameter, etc for a prescription to be legally accepted?
Such as, "-1.75 Johnson & Johnson Acuvue2 Colours – Grey"
or "Acuvue2 Colours – Grey (-1.75)"
I am doing a research on laws regarding prescriptioned drugs, but the eye doctors I’ve called won’t answer or don’t even know the answer. If someone has their own prescription available, a scanned copy of it (any brand any type) or just the name it says in the prescription would be a great help… Please delete out any personal/doctor’s information.
I can assure the answerer that the information will be used ONLY for research/informational purposes. Thank you!
I think the first answerer gave me the reading from the box. Do you have the description from your prescription?
And for answerer2, does that mean that the patient will be prescribed "Acuvue2′s" instead of "Acuvue2 Colours"?
Does anyone know if there is there a set standard description for the Acuvue2′s (for the prescription)?

Contact lens prescription is very very specific. It must have the name (brand), power, size, diameter,and date of expiration. Acuvue 2 and Acuvue 2 colors are two separate products and need 2 separate prescriptions. You can not substitute for another brand eventhough the powers are the same.
Most contact lens prescription include the brand of lenses(Acuvue 2 colors), the base curve size, the diameter of the lens, and the power (-1.75). Also, all prescriptions should have an expiration date. Most prescription for colors are written for the clear lenses and then colors substitution is allowed that way the patient can get grey lenses one time and blue the next.
Well here in Canada, there’s no ‘contact lens perscription’. It’s your eye exam (eyeglass) perscription transposed. The brand of contacts is decided by you and your vision care professional. It’s not written on the prescription.
