This helps prevent hypoxia, red eyes, blurred vision, eye infections and corneal swelling. Specifically, 1-Day Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism is made of a unique hydrogel material known as etafilcon. It provides 88 percent of available oxygen to the open eye. This is important because the cornea is the only external tissue in your body that must derive its oxygen supply from the atmosphere.
