Acuvue

In the Acuvue Contact Lenses, Acuvue is coined from the words “Accurate view”. It is a brand of disposable contact lenses manufactured in Jacksonville, Florida, by Vistakon, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson (J&J).

Acuvue contact lenses first appeared on the market in 1987. Moreover, the lenses were originally intended for seven-day extended wear but were eventually converted to daily wear lenses. Additionally, there is now a series of lenses that span from one-day wear to two-week usage, such as the Acuvue Moist and Oasys, as well as the Vita monthly lens.

To further, they also developed daily contact lenses that can enhance the features of the eyes by the different Define colors!
