Acuvue Oasys MAX 1-Day multifocal for astigmatism is the first and only daily disposable multifocal toric contact lens.
At the 2025 AOA Optometry’s Meeting, Devin Sasser, OD, an optometrist practicing in Maryland and a Professional Affairs Consultant for Johnson & Johnson, shared his enthusiasm for a new contact lens innovation that promises to transform the patient experience: Acuvue Oasys MAX 1-Day multifocal for astigmatism, the first and only daily disposable multifocal toric contact lens.
For years, patients with both presbyopia and astigmatism faced limited contact lens options. Many were forced to compromise on vision quality or abandon contact lens wear altogether due to a lack of effective solutions. Sasser explained that these patients often “fell through the cracks,” leading to frustration and discontinuation of contact lens use.
The introduction of the Acuvue Oasys MAX 1-Day multifocal for astigmatism lens finally addresses this critical gap. According to Sasser, this lens empowers optometrists to offer uncompromised vision and comfort, restoring confidence in patients who had previously given up on lenses.
Having been among the first to fit this new lens, Sasser shared firsthand feedback from his patients. The most common responses? “This is the best vision I’ve ever had in my contact lenses,” and “These lenses are so comfortable, especially compared to my previous astigmatism lenses.”
Sasser emphasized that hearing patients describe their vision as “clear as possible” is deeply rewarding. “This is what we get up and go to work for every day,” he said. Being able to deliver this level of satisfaction makes practicing optometry even more meaningful.
Sasser highlighted that this lens opens the door to more successful contact lens fits for patients who might otherwise rely on glasses or drop out of contact lens wear. With the right technology now available, optometrists can proactively recommend lenses that deliver both the vision correction and lifestyle flexibility patients crave.
As Sasser looks forward to fitting more patients with the Acuvue Oasys MAX 1-Day multifocal for astigmatism lens, his excitement is clear. This new lens doesn't just represent a technological advance—it represents a commitment to meeting patient needs without compromise.
By combining enhanced optical design with outstanding comfort, this lens sets a new standard in the field, empowering optometrists to deliver on the promise of clear, comfortable vision for a once-underserved group of patients.
