Johnson & Johnson Contact Lenses

Why Johnson & Johnson Vision Lenses Perform So Well

• LACREON® Technology: A moisture-rich wetting agent is permanently locked into the lens material, keeping the lens surface smooth and hydrated throughout the day. Found in 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST and ACUVUE DEFINE lenses — particularly well suited to sensitive eyes and standard wearing hours.
• HydraMax™ Technology: Used in ACUVUE VITA monthly lenses to sustain hydration across the entire 30-day cycle. This directly addresses one of the most common complaints we hear about monthly lenses — that they feel comfortable in week one but progressively drier toward the end of the month.
• Blink Stabilised® Design: Keeps toric lenses correctly positioned using four precision stabilisation zones that work with your natural blink reflex. The lens stays exactly where it needs to be whether you're at a desk, exercising, or lying on your side. Found in all ACUVUE toric lenses for astigmatism.
• PRECISION PROFILE® Design: Used in ACUVUE multifocal lenses, this optical design uses your eye's natural pupil response to light to transition between near, intermediate, and distance vision — producing a more natural multifocal experience than older designs that forced your eye to do more of the work.
• Class-Leading UV Blocking: ACUVUE lenses block over 99% of UVB and over 95% of UVA rays — some of the highest UV protection available in any contact lens. They're not a substitute for UV-blocking sunglasses, but they do add a meaningful layer of corneal protection every day without you having to think about it.
• Silicone Hydrogel Materials: Used in ACUVUE OASYS and ACUVUE VITA lenses to allow significantly more oxygen to reach your cornea compared to standard hydrogel lenses. For most wearers, the difference between a hydrogel and a silicone hydrogel lens isn't noticeable in the first hour — it becomes noticeable at hour eight, and it matters for long-term eye health in regular wearers.

Which ACUVUE Lens Is Right For You?

Here's a practical guide to the lenses we stock online, plus a clear path for wearers who need something more specialised. Your optometrist will always confirm the right fit — but this should help you arrive at that conversation knowing what to ask about:

• You want a comfortable, reliable daily lens for a standard prescription: 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST is a well-proven hydrogel daily with LACREON® Technology — gentle, consistent, and well-suited to sensitive eyes and standard wearing hours. If you're comfortable in this lens, there's no clinical reason to step up.
• You spend long hours on screens and your eyes feel dry or tired by mid-afternoon: 1-Day ACUVUE OASYS combines silicone hydrogel with HydraLuxe™ Technology for meaningfully better end-of-day comfort. This is the upgrade worth discussing with your optometrist if dryness or screen fatigue has been a consistent problem.
• You want to subtly enhance the natural appearance of your eyes while maintaining everyday comfort: ACUVUE DEFINE uses LACREON® Technology for all-day moisture while enhancing your eye's natural limbal ring — available in a range of styles designed to work with your natural eye colour rather than mask it.
• You prefer a fortnightly replacement schedule: ACUVUE OASYS is one of the most widely prescribed fortnightly lenses in the world — highly breathable, consistently comfortable across the full two-week cycle, and a particularly strong performer in demanding wearing environments.
• You have astigmatism and want a daily lens with stable, blur-free vision: 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST for Astigmatism or 1-Day ACUVUE OASYS for Astigmatism — both use Blink Stabilised® Design to keep the lens correctly positioned through an active day. Choose OASYS if screen fatigue or longer wearing hours are a factor.
• You have astigmatism and prefer a fortnightly lens: ACUVUE OASYS for Astigmatism delivers HYDRACLEAR® PLUS comfort in a toric fortnightly format — one of the most stable and comfortable astigmatism lenses available for experienced wearers.
• You want a monthly lens that stays comfortable through the full 30-day cycle: ACUVUE VITA uses HydraMax™ Technology to sustain hydration across the entire month. If you've previously found monthly lenses feel dry or uncomfortable toward the end of the month, this is the lens designed to solve that problem.
• You have astigmatism and prefer monthly replacement: ACUVUE VITA for Astigmatism brings HydraMax™ hydration and toric correction together in a monthly format — consistent comfort and stable astigmatism correction across the full 30 days.
• You have presbyopia and want clear vision at all distances in a daily disposable: 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST Multifocal uses PRECISION PROFILE® Design to handle near, intermediate, and far correction in a convenient daily lens. A prescription with an ADD value is required — your optometrist will include this when they prescribe multifocal lenses.
• You have presbyopia and prefer a fortnightly multifocal lens: ACUVUE OASYS Multifocal combines PRECISION PROFILE® Design with the proven comfort of ACUVUE OASYS silicone hydrogel in a fortnightly lens — ask your optometrist whether this suits your prescription and day-to-day visual demands.
• You previously wore ACUVUE 2, ACUVUE Advance, or 1-Day ACUVUE TruEye: These lenses have been discontinued. The recommended replacements are ACUVUE OASYS for ACUVUE 2 and ACUVUE Advance wearers, and 1-Day ACUVUE OASYS for 1-Day ACUVUE TruEye wearers. Any switch requires a new fitting with your optometrist before you order — don't assume your old prescription parameters will transfer directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What contact lenses does Johnson & Johnson make?
Johnson & Johnson Vision manufactures the full ACUVUE range — including 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST and 1-Day ACUVUE OASYS daily disposables, the fortnightly ACUVUE OASYS, monthly ACUVUE VITA, toric lenses for astigmatism across all replacement schedules, multifocal lenses for presbyopia, and ACUVUE DEFINE cosmetic enhancement lenses. All lenses require a valid prescription from a registered optometrist.

What is the difference between 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST and 1-Day ACUVUE OASYS?
Both are daily disposables, but they're built for different wearing demands. 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST uses a hydrogel material with LACREON® Technology — comfortable, gentle, and well-suited to sensitive eyes and standard wearing hours. 1-Day ACUVUE OASYS uses a silicone hydrogel material with HydraLuxe™ Technology, offering higher oxygen transmissibility and noticeably better end-of-day comfort for long days or heavy screen use. If you're comfortable in MOIST, there's no clinical reason to pay more. If end-of-day dryness is a recurring problem, OASYS is the conversation to have with your optometrist.

What is the difference between ACUVUE OASYS fortnightly and 1-Day ACUVUE OASYS?
Both use silicone hydrogel materials but are designed for different wearing schedules and moisture needs. ACUVUE OASYS fortnightly uses HYDRACLEAR® PLUS Technology and is replaced every two weeks — well-suited to experienced wearers who prefer a reusable lens. 1-Day ACUVUE OASYS uses HydraLuxe™ Technology in a daily disposable format — a fresh lens every day with no cleaning or storage required. For wearers with persistent dry eyes or who prefer the hygiene of a daily lens, the daily format often delivers better results. Your optometrist can help you decide which schedule suits your lifestyle.

Do ACUVUE lenses offer UV protection?
Yes — ACUVUE lenses block over 99% of UVB and over 95% of UVA rays, making them some of the highest UV-blocking contact lenses available. That said, they don't cover the full surface of your eye or the surrounding skin. Always wear UV-blocking sunglasses alongside your lenses — the UV protection in your lenses is a supplement to sunglasses, not a replacement for them.
