J&J introduces Moist daily lens

1-Day Acuvue Moist is the new daily disposable contact lens from Johnson & Johnson Vision Care.

Proprietary technology embeds a moisture rich ingredient into the lens creating a 'soft cushion throughout the lens' for all day comfort, said the company.

Clinical trial data showed that 61 per cent of participants reported feeling comfortable in the latest lens at the end of the day compared to 24 per cent trialling another leading lens, said the company.

The lens comes in 8.5 and 9.0 base curves and will be available at selected practices from August 15 and nationwide from September 1.

'It is hoped that the lens will become the first choice fit for those patients who want longer lasting comfort and are willing to pay a premium for the benefit,' said J&J.
