14 Jan 2010, Jacksonville, FL : VISTAKON®, Division of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc., today announced the introduction of a new 90-pack for its 1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® Brand Contact Lenses.
In addition to the new 1-DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® Brand 90-pack, the company says it has also reduced the price of its 1-DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® 30-pack and is offering a new wearer rebate specifically for 1-DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® patients.
“Many eye care practitioners and consumers favor daily disposable contacts because of their health and convenience benefits, but doctors have told us that cost often factors into a patient’s decision to choose a one day lens,” says Dave Brown, President, VISTAKON®. “Now, patients can have the convenience of a single-use lens, while enjoying the benefits of LACREON™ technology and the value of a 90-pack.”
LACREON™ technology employs a unique process that permanently embeds a water holding ingredient, similar to that found in natural tears, into the proven etafilcon A material of the 1•DAY ACUVUE® Brand. This technological advancement locks in moisture that lasts throughout the day, allowing eyes to feel fresh and comfortable all day long.
1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® also blocks approximately 82% of UV-A radiation and 97% of UV-B radiation† *. On average, contact lenses without UV blocking block approximately 10% of UV-A radiation and 30% of UV-B radiation. Additionally, it can help patients who suffer symptoms associated with ocular allergies during contact lens wear. When worn on a daily disposable basis, 1-DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® provides improved comfort for two out of three patients who experience mild discomfort and itching associated with allergies during contact lens wear compared to lenses replaced at intervals of greater than two weeks.
ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses are indicated for vision correction. As with any contact lens, eye problems, including corneal ulcers, can develop. Some wearers may experience mild irritation, itching or discomfort. Lenses should not be prescribed if patients have any eye infection, or experience eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, redness or other eye problems.
