Johnson & Johnson Vision has announced a new eye care option for patients with presbyopia: ACUVUE® OASYS MULTIFOCAL Contact Lenses with PUPIL OPTIMIZED DESIGN. The ACUVUE® OASYS MULTIFOCAL is built on the ACUVUE® OASYS 2-Week platform. It includes the PUPIL OPTIMIZED DESIGN technology, used in the 1-DAY ACUVUE® MOIST MULTIFOCAL, that is designed for crisp, clear, reliable vision at all distances, enabling patients with presbyopia to see distant, intermediate, and near objects. The new lens is now available in the United States and Canada.
ACUVUE® OASYS MULTIFOCAL uniquely combines three technologies: PUPIL OPTIMIZED DESIGN, Hybrid Back Curve Technology and a Proprietary Embedded Wetting Agent to create a lens designed for performance and comfort.
"This ACUVUE® OASYS MULTIFOCAL contact lens brings a long-awaited solution to patients with presbyopia who have been looking for continuous, clear and comfortable vision at all distances," said Xiao-Yu Song, MD, PhD, Global Head of Research & Development, Johnson & Johnson Vision.
"The new ACUVUE® OASYS MULTIFOCAL lenses are a breakthrough for patients with presbyopia because instead of fitting the patient to the lens, we can fit the lens to the patient," said Susan J. Gromacki, OD, MS, FAAO, FSLS. "Patients can be easily and quickly fitted, which is great given that this is a multifocal lens."
Available in both daily disposables and reusables, ACUVUE® offers multifocal lenses that have the same design, parameters, and fit process across modalities, enabling eye care practitioners (ECPs) to offer a more personalized solution for patients. ECPs fitting patients for the ACUVUE® OASYS MULTIFOCAL can also use the free ACUVUE® Fit Calculator to quickly and easily find the optimal trial lens power for patients.
