Multifocal receives CE Mark

Johnson & Johnson Vision announced that its Acuvue Oasys multifocal with pupil optimised design has received a CE Mark ahead of its European launch later this year.

Designed for patients with presbyopia, the reusable lens followed the same fit process as 1-Day Acuvue Moist Multifocal.

Sandra Rasche, area vice president of EMEA vision care at Johnson & Johnson Medical, said ‘Although there are 50 million presbyopia patients over the age of 45 across the EMEA region who are open to wearing contact lenses, fewer than 10% of this group are currently wearing a multifocal contact lens to correct the condition. The Acuvue Oasys Multifocal with pupil optimised design will offer an exciting solution for these patients, using a blend of technologies for better comfort and clearer vision at all distances.’
