Johnson & Johnson Vision is making waves with two breakthroughs in its ACUVUE OASYS line: MAX 1-Day for Astigmatism and MAX 1-Day Multifocal for Astigmatism. These next-gen lenses are designed to deliver clear, stable vision and all-day comfort for people with complex vision needs, raising the bar on what daily contacts can do!
Let’s explore what sets these lenses apart and why it matters.
Why This Contact Lens Launch Is Significant
In case you don’t know, toric lenses are specialized contact lenses designed for people with astigmatism, a condition characterized by irregularly shaped corneas that cause distorted or blurry vision.
Additionally, many people with astigmatism require multifocal lenses, which are designed to correct vision at multiple distances. Often, these patients experience the common symptoms of astigmatism along with presbyopia (the age-related inability to see nearby objects).
Daily lenses are ideal when you’re looking for convenience and safety. To date, there have been only a few disposable one-day toric lenses available, and none of them have specifically addressed the needs of individuals with both conditions.
Therefore, ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day MULTIFOCAL for ASTIGMATISM is “the first and only daily disposable contact lens designed for individuals with both astigmatism and presbyopia.” By introducing this offering, Johnson & Johnson Vision has solidified its position as a true leader in the eyewear industry.
ACUVUE MAX 1-DAY: What Can These Lenses Do?
ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day for ASTIGMATISM raises the standard of what 1-day toric lenses should be.
ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day MULTIFOCAL for ASTIGMATISM addresses low- to mid-level astigmatism and covers patients with 1.00 to 1.75 cylinder requirements.
These new lenses incorporate several proprietary lens technologies for optimum comfort, stability, and clarity:
TearStable Technology
Hydration is a major factor in all-day lens comfort. With TearStable technology, you can look forward to maximum comfort from your MAX 1-Day lenses. It reduces tear evaporation twice as much as other daily toric lenses, so your eyes should stay moist for extended periods.
OptiBlue Light Filter
ACUVUE’s OptiBlue Light Filter is the best blue light filtering available in contact lenses. With 60% blue-violet light filtering, you get the highest blue light protection in the industry.
It offers an extra shield against the harmful blue light emitted by digital LED screens, as well as fluorescent and other LED lighting. Blue light can cause eye strain, damage the retina, and disrupt sleep patterns.
BLINK STABILIZED Design
Typically, due to the irregularly shaped corneas or lenses of people with astigmatism, the stability of lenses has been lacking.
With ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day for ASTIGMATISM and ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day MULTIFOCAL for ASTIGMATISM, you get four lens stability zones, making these lenses extra resistant to movement and gravity.
With lenses that stay in place, your view is prism-free and blur-free. Lower lid interaction is minimized. Additionally, the lenses are designed to prevent insertion in an upside-down position, making proper application much easier.
PUPIL OPTIMIZED Design
The leading daily astigmatism contact lens competitor only offers three optical profiles: low, mid, and high. This is terribly lacking, considering the wide range of pupil sizes.
ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day MULTIFOCAL for ASTIGMATISM offers 183 optical power profiles. That’s 6000% more than what the other lens for astigmatism brands offer!
You don’t have to settle for ill-fitting toric lenses. With ACUVUE PUPIL OPTIMIZED Design, you can find one that’s precisely created for your needs.
When and How To Get Your Hands on MAX 1-Day for ASTIGMATISM
ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day MULTIFOCAL for ASTIGMATISM is already available in North America. Meanwhile, ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day for ASTIGMATISM is scheduled to launch by the end of summer 2025.
For a limited time, ACUVUE is offering free trials, but be sure to speak with your eye doctor before signing up. Schedule an exam as soon as possible to determine if these new lenses are the right option for you and get a current prescription.
