Fact checked by: Jordana Joy, Editor

The company said the expanded portfolio will be available in the US and Canada this summer.

At the 129th Annual AOA Congress: Optometry’s Meeting, Johnson & Johnson announced an expanded parameter range for ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day for Astigmatism contact lenses, extending cylinder powers up to -2.75D, according to a news release. The company said the expanded portfolio will be available in the US and Canada this summer and is intended to help eye care professionals fit more patients with astigmatism.1

According to Johnson & Johnson, the expanded parameter range includes 3,350 parameter combinations and gives ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day for Astigmatism the largest number of SKU parameters among key daily disposable contact lens brands.1

“Expanding ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day for Astigmatism parameters is an important step in addressing the needs of people with astigmatism, which represents nearly half of all patients,” said Shawn Millerick, president, Americas, Vision, Johnson & Johnson, in the release. “By broadening parameter availability, we’re enabling Eye Care Professionals to fit more patients with daily contact lenses to enjoy excellent comfort and clear, stable vision throughout the day.”

The company stated that ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day for Astigmatism features its BLINK STABILIZED Design, which is intended to help minimize lens rotation and provide clear, stable vision throughout the day, including during head and eye movements. Johnson & Johnson also cited clinical study data supporting comfort performance for ACUVUE lenses.1

Astigmatism affects nearly half of the population and is caused by an irregular eye shape that can result in blurred or distorted vision. Johnson & Johnson noted that lens stability is particularly important for contact lens wearers with astigmatism to maintain clear vision.1

The parameter expansion follows other recent updates to the ACUVUE portfolio. Earlier this year, Johnson & Johnson expanded the parameter range of ACUVUE VITA for Astigmatism, extending coverage up to -2.75D cylinder in 10-degree axis increments. The company said the expansion allows practitioners to fit nearly 96% of astigmatic patients.1

In 2025, Johnson & Johnson also launched ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day for Astigmatism and ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day MULTIFOCAL for Astigmatism, expanding the ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day family of lenses.1
