Johnson & Johnson announced the U.S. launch of expanded parameters for 1-Day Acuvue Moist brand contact lenses for astigmatism.

The lenses are a daily disposable modality with blink-stabilized design for clear, stable vision and Lacreon technology that provides a cushion of moisture for long-lasting comfort, the company said in a press release.

“With the addition of 48% more lens parameters for patients with astigmatism, the 1-Day Acuvue Moist brand contact lens family now offers coverage for nearly 96% of spherical and astigmatic eyes,” according to the release.

Full parameters include: around-the-clock coverage (in 10° steps) in low minus powers (plano to -6.00 D in 0.25-D steps) across -0.75 D, -1.25 D and -1.75 D cyl; against-the-rule and with-the-rule coverage (in 10° steps) in low minus powers for -2.25 D cyl; against-the-rule and with-the-rule coverage (in 10° steps) in high minus powers (-6.50 D to -9.00 D in 0.50-D steps) across -0.75 D, -1.25 D and -1.75 D cyl; against-the-rule and with-the-rule coverage (in 10° steps) in plus powers (+0.25 D to +4.00 D in 0.25-D steps) across -0.75 D, -1.25 D and -1.75 D cyl.
