Johnson & Johnson Vision, a global leader in eye health and part of Johnson & Johnson MedTech,i today announced the launch of 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST and 1-DAY ACUVUE DEFINE® contact lenses in the Philippines. 

Vision, the most dominant of our senses, is vital at every turn of our lives – it’s how we experience the world.[1] Yet, many people often neglect the single most important step to protect their eyes – getting an eye exam. According to a survey conducted by Hello Doctor, eye care was found to be low on the priorities of Filipinos with 26% not remembering the last time they had an eye exam.[2] At Johnson & Johnson Vision, we are united in our aspiration to partner with eye care professionals to change the trajectory of eye health. Johnson & Johnson Vision has been at the forefront, leading with research, science, and technology to deliver the best outcomes for patients across a lifetime of eye health needs through world-class innovation and customer experience.

Now available in the Philippines, the 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST contact lens made with LACREON Technology, is designed to keep moisture in and irritation out to provide an excellent safety profile and long-lasting cushion of moisture for up to 20 hours or more.3 Supporting this technology includes several eye-inspired innovations that give people the confidence and reassurance to wear contact lenses, specifically: class 2 UV blocking to help protect from the transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea and into the eye#^ and invisible edge design which are thin-edged lenses that adhere to the shape of the eye so that the eyelids glide over them as if nothing is there.4

The 1-DAY ACUVUE DEFINE contact lens, which includes the same LACREON Technology is also available in the Philippines. The 1-DAY ACUVUE DEFINE contact lens comes in different colors and designs to enhance one’s natural eye beauty.

In a recent study on contact lenses conducted by Johnson & Johnson Vision, it was found that Millennials and Gen Zs believe that having good eye health is essential to their lifestyle; mainly because their career aspirations and goals in life require them to have good vision. For some, wearing spectacles have hindered them from enjoying activities such as sports, traveling, and expressing their unique style at social gatherings, but they may not be motivated to try contact lenses due to common myths they have heard.5

This is what Johnson & Johnson Vision aims to address as they launch the 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST and the 1-DAY ACUVUE DEFINE contact lenses here in the Philippines.

“Filipinos today are hustlers and achievers in all aspects, however their apprehension around using contact lenses prohibits them from seizing and owning their moments. The 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST contact lens brings a solution to consumers who have been looking for clear and comfortable vision with daily disposable contacts,” said Jhoanna Marie Tismo, Brand Manager, Vision Care, Johnson & Johnson Vision.

“1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST is an iconic product. The addition of LACREON technology, with long-lasting moisture embedded inside the lens, provides a solution for the most frequently reported complaints of contact lens discomfort – dryness. On top of that, it provides protection against harmful UVA and UVB radiation, giving consumers the freedom and flexibility to enjoy outdoor activities” Jhoanna concluded.

Adding to this insight, we spoke to eye care professionals, Dr. Ji Gonzales of Eyeboxx, Dr. Eldeen Baluso of Global Eyecare, Dr. Leanne Jeanne Encarnacion of Eye Gallery Optical Clinic Co., and Dr. Liz Cua of George Optical, about contact lenses and what new contact lens wearers need to be aware of . And as advised by these eye experts, one should first go through an eye assessment so that they can properly prescribe patients the best contact lenses fit for their needs. From there, the contact lenses should have quality comfort, convenience, and ease of insert and removal – and most likely, should be disposable as well in order to lessen the risk of eye infections.

“I believe that every contact lens wearer needs to be assessed thoroughly and managed individually; meaning they have to go through a complete and comprehensive eye assessment for them to be prescribed a specific contact lens for their individual needs,” said Dr. Leanne Jeanne. “With disposable lenses, patients wearing them may benefit from enjoying their daily activities with good vision while making sure that their eyes are fully safe” she assured.

The TCL FreshIN 3.0 air conditioner also uses technologies that prioritize health and environment care. Foremost among these is the FreshIN technology that provides fresh air while maintaining stable indoor temperatures, removing odors, optimizing humidity, and increasing oxygen levels. This newest innovation has a real-time quality display with an integrated TVOC sensor that detects harmful particles, and maintains a healthy indoor environment.

The air conditioner has a quadruple purification system that includes a preliminary filter, silver ion antibacterial layer HEPA high-efficiency filter, and high-density filter which ensure efficient air purification and removing up to PM2.5 particles and allergens. It also has an evaporator with self-cleaning process that includes dewing, frosting, defrosting, drying, and sterilizing to eliminate bacteria.

To care for the environment, the FreshIN 3.0 air conditioner is equipped with energy-saving technology that enables the compressor to adjust its operation frequency and allocate cooling power efficiently, achieving up to 37% energy-saving rate. Its Innovative Reverse Clean technology removes dust and debris from the outdoor unit, ensuring clog-free air conditioners and prolonging its lifespan.

The health protection technology that the TCL Fresh Pro refrigerator offers to its customers is the T-Fresh system that reduces bacteria by up to 99.99% through advanced sterilization, keeping food fresher and safer for long. It also utilizes an advanced purification module to absorb unwanted odors, ensuring a clean and odor-free environment.

For its environment protection features, the TCL Fresh Pro refrigerator uses a variable-speed compressor to maintain ideal temperatures, reducing energy consumption by up to 15% and saving money on electricity bills. The product also offers a 10-year warranty on inverter compressor to ensure durability and reliability while reducing electronic waste.

Customers who are looking for a washing machine that has both health and environment protection features can try the TCL front loading washing machine. This product features Steam Wash which eliminates most common bacteria to ensure hygienic protection for your laundry, and Anti-bacteria Gasket which inhibits the production of bacteria and mildew to keep laundry clean and hygienic.

To protect the environment, the TCL washing machine has a BLDC Inverter Motor that reduces vibration, noise and energy consumption. This washing machine is rated A-energy class, indicating low environmental impact. Apart from these, the product also offers an Auto Weight System which automatically adjusts water consumption and cycle duration according to the weight of the load, saving water and energy.
