J&J Introduces New Multifocal Contact Lens

Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc. has launched its 1-DAY Acuvue Moist brand Multifocal contact lens. It claims to be an industry first, it offering a "uniquely" optimized optic design to address the natural variations in pupil size according to age – and refractive power.

Its 61 distance powers (in quarter diopter steps from +6.00D to -9.00D) and three Add powers equal 183 unique designs for built-in precision.  This precision delivers more consistent performance in a multifocal lens that can help minimize chair time and maximize success delivering a better experience for patients. Its hybrid back curve design helps in two ways: first, the spherical periphery helps ensure centration of the optics over the pupil, and second, the aspheric center closely mimics the natural shape of the cornea to maintain the integrity of the complex front-surface optics, accoroding to the company.
