In 1987, Johnson & Johnson's Vision Care Division invented the first soft lenses designed for short-time use. Every two weeks, they had to be replaced regularly with new ones. This has become a real event for people with low vision. But the company did not stop there, and eight years later a new series was released - for one-day use.
Features of contact lenses "Johnson and Johnson"
In the 1950s, the Vision Care division of the company created the new ACUVUE trademark, under which soft contact lenses began to be produced. Continuous development carried out in the research laboratories of the unit allowed us to improve the technology of their production.
The ACUVUE brand today offers contact lenses made of modern soft silicone hydrogel material. It provides almost one hundred percent penetration of oxygen to the cornea with a sufficient level of moisture. You do not need to bury anything in the eyes during the day.
What benefits do Johnson & Johnson lenses offer the patient? They are:
- correct vision with myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism;
- provide a high degree of hydration of the eyes throughout the day;
- protect the cornea from harmful ultraviolet radiation;
- they are comfortable, almost weightless, provide comfortable wearing all day.
Thanks to the introduction of exclusive company developments when creating new products of the ACUVUE trademark, people with visual impairment can live a full life without feeling any discomfort from inflammation and tearing of their eyes.
Types of Lenses
All lenses from Johnson & Johnson, depending on the type of disease, are aimed at correcting vision:
- with myopia and farsightedness;
- with astigmatism.
They should be bought only after visiting an ophthalmologist. The specialist will determine the type and degree of visual impairment, and with astigmatism, also the criteria by which contact lenses should be purchased. For their purchase should contact specialized optics salons.
Depending on the period of wearing the lens, "Johnson and Johnson" are:
- one day;
- reusable (for frequent scheduled replacements).
In turn, based on the specific manufacturing technology, each of the above types is available in different series.
Contact lenses "Johnson and Johnson" one-day
Johnson & Johnson, in the manufacture of contact lenses, adheres to the principle that the shorter they are worn, the healthier the eyes will be. And replacing once every two weeks is a long time.
That is why in 1995, Vision Cerise developed Johnson and Johnson lenses that are worn during the day and then simply thrown away. You no longer need to spend your personal time to care for them, purchase special solutions and storage containers.
Lenses "Johnson and Johnson" one-day (1 DAY ACUVUE) come in several series.
- TruEye - for their manufacture, a modern silicone-hydrogel material is used, which transmits oxygen to the eyes, and thanks to special technology, moisture is retained inside the shell during the day.
- MOIST - the new LACREON technology used in the manufacture of lenses provides eyes with comfort during the entire period of wearing.
- MOIST for ASTIGMATISM - provide clear vision and help to avoid dry eyes in the end of the day.
- DEFINE - a novelty from the brand ACUVUE. These are contact lenses that will give a natural radiance to dark eyes and shine to light ones. They transform, and make the image more expressive. The coloring pigment is located inside the lens, without causing irritation and redness of the eyes, while a sufficient level of hydration is maintained throughout the day.
Refillable lenses
Such contact lenses can be worn for two weeks, and every evening they need to be removed and put into a special container with the solution. Since their wearing time is still limited to 14 days, they are also called lenses for frequent scheduled replacement. They are available in the same OASYS series and are designed to correct vision:
- with myopia and farsightedness;
- with astigmatism (lens "Johnson and Johnson" for ASTIGMATISM).
In rare cases, they can also be used for sleep. But the company's specialists still warn of the risk of various kinds of complications in the eyes.
Color and tint lenses
Contact lenses from the latest DEFINE series give your eyes a natural glow and radiance. Thanks to them, you can favorably emphasize your image, but not dramatically change it.
Johnson and Johnson colored lenses (ACUVUE COLORS) began to be produced much earlier than the beauty series. They are designed for two-week use and are available in 10 different colors and shades. In accordance with this, two types of such lenses are distinguished:
Tint lenses "Johnson and Johnson" differ from color lenses in that they have an inner layer containing a coloring pigment that is translucent and completely covers the pupil. They are suitable for people with bright eyes. Such lenses are available in three color shades: green, blue, turquoise. The inner translucent layer with pigment does not change the visual perception of surrounding objects.
Colored lenses are available in 7 versions: chestnut, walnut, honey, green, sapphire, blue, gray. The coloring pigment in them is also in the inner layer, but is located around the pupil and does not close it. Such lenses are suitable for people with both light and dark eyes.
Johnson and Johnson lenses: price and customer reviews
The average price for ACUVUE one-day contact lenses is 900-1100 rubles per 30 pieces. A package with a two-week wearing period will cost 600-800 rubles for 6 pieces. But for such lenses, an additional purchase will be required - a storage container and a solution.
The lenses "Johnson and Johnson", the price of which is considered, according to most buyers, their main disadvantage, have significant advantages. They are:
- effectively correct vision;
- moisturize your eyes all day;
- do not cause irritation and inflammation of the eyes.
ACUVUE lenses are easy to use and care for, so even teenagers from the age of fourteen can use them.
