Acuvue Oasys For Presbyopia

Johnson and Johnson, the manufacturer of Acuvue brand contacts are releasing a new lens in March. The new lens is the Acuvue Oasys For Presbyopia. This lens is directed towards patients who wear multifocal/bifocal contact lenses. The new lens seems likely to eventually replace the current Acuvue Bifocal, which is J&Js current lens in this category. What is exciting about the new lens is that it is part of the Oasys family of lenses, and is therefore a silicone hydrogel lens, and should offer the superior comfort and resistance to dryness of other Oasys lenses. J&J are also very excited about the optical properties of the lens. If you currently wear multifocal/bifocal contacts, you should ask your doctor if this lens might be something you should try.
