Johnson & Johnson unveiled the launch of Acuvue Oasys MAX 1-day multifocal contact lenses for astigmatism, a long-awaited extension of the popular Acuvue Oasys line and the first and only daily disposable contact lens for people with both astigmatism and presbyopia. The lens is available in the US and Canada as of today, and the launch of Acuvue Oasys MAX 1-Day for astigmatism is anticipated in late summer 2025.

“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 differentiated ACUVUE experience.”

A few notable statistics from the studies completed by Johnson & Johnson for Acuvue Oasys MAX 1-Day multifocal lenses for astigmatism:

• 95% reported clear vision during daily activities while wearing the lenses
• 87% saw clearly while driving at night
• 92% reported comfortable wear throughout the day

The toric lens features the 4 proprietary technologies that are hallmarks of the Acuvue Oasys brand: The Blink-Stabilized Design keeps the lens in place to minimize or eliminate distortion or blurriness when blinking or moving the head; Pupil-Optimized Design addresses changing pupil sizes in wearers with presbyopia; TearStable Technology keeps the lens hydrated for full day comfort; and OptiBlue Light Filter provides 60% blue-violet light filtering, which is the highest in the industry.

“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 Mark Wells, OD, “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.”

The multifocal for astigmatism and astigmatism contact lenses will complete the Acuvue Oasys MAX 1-Day family of lenses, which will become the first and only complete line of daily disposable contact lenses on the market. A complete contact lens family includes sphere, multifocal, toric, and multifocal toric contact lenses.

Acuvue Oasys MAX 1-Day multifocal for astigmatism is available now in the US and Canada, and Johnson & Johnson intends to expand beyond this market in 2025. Acuvue Oasys MAX -Day for astigmatism is expected to launch in the US and Canada during the summer of 2025, and the company intends to expand to global markets before the end of the year as well.
