Johnson & Johnson Presents New Data on ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day Contact Lenses

Johnson & Johnson will present data at Academy of Optometry 2024 on the ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day family of contact lenses including contrast sensitivity, brightness of natural images, lens handling, and more. Data will also be presented on myopia management, use of digital technologies like machine learning to identify potential eye disease, and fresh insights on health economics and market access. In addition, a session on Eye-Inspired Design from ACUVUE provides information about where technology and comfort intersect to help meet patient contact lens needs.

“Research and scientific data are fundamental to the eye health innovations we bring to patients,” said Dr. Xiao-Yu Song, global head of research and development, vision, at Johnson & Johnson. “We are excited to share our latest findings within 23 accepted abstracts that uncover ways we can improve visual outcomes for patients through technology and real world evidence.”

Data Highlights Presented at Academy 2024

Appearance and Handling Benefit of ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day Family of Lenses
Meredith Bishop et al.
Contact lens handling, specifically insertion, can be a challenge for wearers of all ages. A consumer study of 98 habitual contact lens wearers found that the unique blue-green appearance of ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day made the lens easier to see in the blister package and allowed for superior handling when compared to Dailies Total1. This is particularly meaningful to presbyopia patients, where seeing the lens up close is a challenge. ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day’s unique blue-green appearance is a result of the combination of the OptiBlue Technology blue-violet light filter and a blue handling tint. 

Evaluating the Impact of an HEV-Filtering Multifocal Contact Lens on Halos and Light Scatter 
Randy and Lisa Hammond et al.
Some eye health practitioners may hesitate to prescribe multifocal contact lenses due to the belief that the concomitant dysphotopsias are significant. In a clinical trial of 35 subjects, this research evaluates filtering HEV-light, as a design feature of multifocal contact lenses like the ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day multifocal contact lens, as a possible mechanism for reducing halos and light scatter.

Efficacy in Myopia Control: an Omnibus Model
Mark Bullimore et al.
Accurate prediction and monitoring of axial elongation and refractive progression are important for myopia management. This study is an update on progress in evidence-based interpretation of these features. The data showed that comparison to axial elongation charts provides the most sensitive means of monitoring progression. This omnibus model provides projections, and gives reference data, for efficacy of myopia control interventions based on 1-year data.

Cataract Surgery Disparities in the United States: How Can Optometry Reduce the Gap?
Tawnya Pastuck et al.
This compilation of 41 published literature on racial, ethnic and/or gender cataract care disparities along the continuum of care found four patient journey key points that impact cataract surgery outcomes: routine eye exam (affecting referrals), surgical evaluation, surgery, and post-operative care. The research showed that disparities along the care continuum impact cataract surgery outcomes for Black, Hispanic, Asian and female patients in the United States. Providers and healthcare systems have historically underutilized their unique power to expand beyond a strict biomedical role to better serve the community.
