At the 129th Annual AOA Congress: Optometry’s Meeting, Johnson & Johnson announced an expanded parameter range up to -2.75D cylinder for ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day for Astigmatism contact lenses, helping more people with astigmatism enjoy excellent com-fort and clear, stable vision throughout the day.[5] The expanded portfolio of daily contact toric lenses will be available in Canada and the U.S. this summer, enabling optometrists to meet more patients’ needs than ever before.
Benefits of ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day for Astigmatism:
- Excellent, Stable Vision: BLINK STABILIZED Design helps the lens stays put, and helps provide clear, stable vision throughout the day, even with extensive head and eye movements.[5]
- Comfort: ACUVUE lenses are unbeaten in comfort in 47 clinical studies† and have fewer patient dropouts versus other manufacturers.[v]
- Accessibility: Expanded parameter range up to -2.75D cylinder helps optometrists to meet vision needs of more patients, with 3350 parameter combinations.[1]
“Expanding ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day for Astigmatism parameters is an important step in addressing the needs of people with astigmatism, which represents nearly half of all patients,” said Shawn Millerick, President, Americas, Vision, Johnson & Johnson. “By broadening parameter availability, we’re enabling Eye Care Professionals to fit more patients with daily contact lenses to enjoy excellent comfort and clear, stable vision throughout the day.”[5]
Astigmatism is a common vision condition affecting nearly half of all people,[6] caused by an irregular eye shape that can lead to blurry or distorted vision. Because it is often only partially corrected, many patients continue to experience distorted or blurred vision. For contact-lens wearers with astigmatism, it’s extremely important that their lenses stay in place when they blink or move their head for clear vision.
Only ACUVUE contact lenses feature BLINKSTABILIZED Design technology featuring four stability zones and a prism free optic zone. [++7,11,12] The contact lens is designed to realign naturally with every blink and orients quickly and stabilizes within minutes of insertion, helping to provide clear and stable vision throughout the day, even with extensive head and eye movements.[2,3,4]This parameter expansion builds on recent ACUVUE portfolio enhancements [**8] and provide more options for doctors to fit patients with contact lenses:
- ACUVUE VITA for Astigmatism: Earlier this year, the parameter range was expanded for the ACUVUE monthly contact lens, allowing optometrists to fit nearly 96%[‡‡ of astigmatic patients,[9] offering around the clock coverage in 10 degree increments up to -2.75D cylinder.
- ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day for Astigmatism: Last year the ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day for Astigmatism and ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day MULTIFOCAL for Astigmatism lenses launched, making the ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day Family of lenses the first and only complete daily disposable family of contact lenses on the market.[10¥]

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Important information for contact lens wearers: ACUVUE Contact Lenses are available by prescription only for vision correction. An eye care professional will determine whether contact lenses are right for you. Although rare, serious eye problems can develop while wearing contact lenses. To help avoid these problems, follow the wear and replacement schedule and the lens care instructions provided by your eye doctor. Do not wear contact lenses if you have an eye infection, or experience eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, redness or other eye problems. If one of these conditions occurs, remove the lens and contact your eye doctor immediately. For more information on proper wear, care and safety, talk to your eye care professional, call 1-800-843-2020, or download the Patient Instruction Guides.

++ Vertical heterophoria possibly caused by prism dissociation due to the presence of induced optical prism is a relevant factor for practitioners to consider when fitting toric contact lenses for monocular astigmats or those requiring a mix of toric soft contact lens designs.1,2 Clinical studies have not been done to fully characterize the clinical effects of differences in base down prism among different contact lenses. . **Rx range: -1.50 to -4.00DS inclusive, -0.75 to 1.50DC inclusive and axes within 180 ± 15 degrees or 90 ± 15 degrees.
