A patient from Northern Ireland has returned from a trip to the World Cup after winning a competition by Johnson & Johnson Vision Care.
Julie Blaney from Bangor was one of two winners who went to the World Cup Final in Brazil last month. She won the prize after visiting an practice in Knocknagoney, Belfast, having seen the competition display in store and deciding to take part in a free trial.
She said ‘I was delighted to win this competition, it was a great experience from start to finish. My husband Damian and I have always been a football fan so it’s great that I saw the games in action – and now with perfect vision.’
The two competition winners received flights and a four-night stay in Brazil.
“Acuvue brand contact lenses’ unique partnership with the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil has both driven new patients into practice and given participating eye care professionals the chance to enquire about their patients’ sporting activities. It has also given them a platform to discuss how contact lenses can boost sporting performance,’ said Mathilde Beau, marketing director UK & Ireland.
