J&J reports positive in-market assessment of 1-day multifocal

An in-market assessment of 1-Day Acuvue Moist Multifocal contact lenses showed the product performing at high standards, similar to those seen during clinical evaluations, according to a press release from Johnson & Johnson Vision Care.

Opinion data was gathered from 168 eye care professionals (ECPs) and 378 patients in the U.S. and the U.K. over a 4-month period. According to the release, the results reflected that nine out of 10 ECPs would make 1-Day Acuvue Moist Multifocal their first choice for daily disposable multifocal contact lenses. Additionally, 99% of ECPs would recommend the product to colleagues, and 98% felt it was an exceptional solution for both presbyopic patients already wearing spherical contact lenses and those new to contacts.

“Our practice is expanding due to the introduction of 1-Day Acuvue Moist Multifocal,” Mark T. Wells, OD, a participant of the assessment, said in the release “This lens allows us to provide a better solution for our presbyopic patients’ visual needs, all while reducing chair time.”
