Olympian Katarina Johnson-Thompson announced as Acuvue ambassador

Johnson and Johnson Vision Care Companies has announced Olympian Katarina Johnson-Thompson as brand ambassador for its Acuvue Oasys 1-Day contact lens range.

The British track and field athlete, who specialises in the heptathlon, is astigmatic and wears contact lenses both during training and competing.

She said: ‘My vision is so important, I couldn’t be a heptathlete without my contact lenses, basically I wouldn’t be able to get over the first hurdle. My training never stops and my coach pushes me to the limits, the only thing I can’t train are my eyes.’

Johnson-Thompson will be aiming for gold when she competes at the World Athletics Championships held in London this August, the same month the full Acuvue Oasys 1-Day campaign will go live.
