Why choose ACUVUE?
Unlike most manufacturers who focus solely on age-related optical profiles, Johnson & Johnson Vision acknowledges the importance of pupil size, which varies not only with age but also across different refractive errors.
Their unique technology customizes the optical design based on the pupil size, achieving a remarkable 100% parameter optimization, compared to the meager less than 2% offered by the leading competitor.
