Acuvue

Acuvue® brand contact lenses are manufactured by Vistakon®, Inc., the contact lens division of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care Inc.. The brand has been in existence since its first product launch of the first disposable contact lenses launched in 1987. Acuvue® lenses are manufactured using a proprietary Stabilized Soft Molding (SSM) process. This technology virtually guarantees the reproducibility and accuracy of each of the lenses in production. Acuvue® was also the first brand to market with a 1-Day disposable lens in 1995. Since then the family of Acuvue® contact lenses has expanded to include lenses for the correction of astigmatism and presbyopia. Recent extensions of the Acuvue® family of lenses have focused on new technologies such as the Lacreon® technology which better conditions the lens surface making it even more wettable and comfortable than before.
