J&J Launches Daily Disposable Multifocal Toric Contact Lens: Acuvue Oasys Max 1-Day Multifocal for Astigmatism
Johnson & Johnson announced the launch of Acuvue Oasys Max 1-Day Multifocal for Astigmatism, a daily disposable contact lens for people with both astigmatism and presbyopia. The company says this contact lens provides patients crisp, clear, stable vision at all distances and in all lighting conditions, along with comfort that lasts all day. The lens is now available in the United States and Canada, and the launch of Acuvue Oasys Max 1-Day for Astigmatism is expected later this summer.
"Building on our legacy of firsts, we are thrilled to launch Acuvue Oasys Max 1-Day Multifocal for Astigmatism,” said Peter Menziuso, company group chairman, vision, at Johnson & Johnson. “Acuvue is the world’s leading contact lens brand and with these new products, we now have the first and only complete family of daily-disposable contact lenses. Clear sight empowers people to live their best lives, and we believe everyone should have the opportunity to achieve it. That's why we focus our innovation on areas with the greatest unmet needs for patients. Today, we are working to fulfill that promise, providing millions of patients with a Acuvue ACUVUE experience."
“Finally, patients with both presbyopia and astigmatism can enjoy the freedom and comfort of a daily disposable lens without compromising the quality of their vision,” said Dr. Mark Wells. “This new lens was designed to help patients who struggle with multiple vision correction issues, allowing them to experience the comfort and clarity of Max.”
Based on extensive studies, 95% of people wearing Acuvue Oasys Max 1-Day Multifocal for Astigmatism contact lenses reported their vision was clear during their daily activities, while 87% saw clearly while driving at night. Additionally, 92% of wearers said their eyes felt comfortable throughout the entire day.
The Acuvue Oasys Max 1-Day Multifocal for Astigmatism contact lens is built with the combination of four proprietary technologies which enable its comfort and visual results: Blink-stabilized design helps the lens stay in place, so vision is not distorted or blurry when one blinks or moves their head. Pupil-optimized design helps meet presbyopic vision needs, even as one ages and vision continues to change. TearStable technology helps keep the lens hydrated, facilitating end of day comfort. Finally, the OptiBlue light filter provides 60% blue-violet light filtering, the highest in the industry.
Later this summer, the Acuvue Oasys Max 1-Day for Astigmatism contact lens will launch in both the United States and Canada, making the Acuvue Oasys Max 1-Day family of lenses the first and only complete daily disposable family of contact lenses on the market. Both Acuvue Oasys Max 1-Day Multifocal for Astigmatism and Acuvue Oasys Max 1-Day for Astigmatism are planned to be introduced in additional markets outside North America during 2025 and beyond.
