Vision, the most dominant of our senses, is vital at every\nturn of our lives \u2013 it\u2019s how we experience the world.[1]<\/a> Yet, many people often\nneglect the single most important step to protect their eyes \u2013 getting an eye\nexam. According to a\nsurvey conducted by Hello Doctor, eye care was found to be low on the\npriorities of Filipinos with 26% not remembering the last time they had an eye exam.[2]<\/a>\nAt Johnson & Johnson Vision, we are united in our aspiration to partner\nwith eye care professionals to change the trajectory of eye health. Johnson\n& Johnson Vision has been at the forefront, leading with research, science,\nand technology to deliver the best outcomes for patients across a lifetime of\neye health needs through world-class innovation and customer experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now available in the Philippines, the 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST<\/strong> 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<\/sup> 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#^<\/sup> 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<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1-DAY ACUVUE DEFINE<\/strong> contact lens, which includes the same LACREON Technology is also available in the Philippines. The 1-DAY ACUVUE DEFINE<\/strong> contact lens comes in different colors and designs to enhance one\u2019s natural eye beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

This is what Johnson & Johnson Vision <\/strong>aims to address as they launch the 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST <\/strong>and the 1-DAY ACUVUE DEFINE <\/strong>contact lenses here in the Philippines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFilipinos 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“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 \u2013 dryness. On top of that, it provides protection against harmful UVA and UVB radiation, giving consumers the freedom and flexibility to enjoy outdoor activities\u201d Jhoanna concluded.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding to this insight, we spoke to eye care\nprofessionals, Dr. Ji Gonzales of Eyeboxx, Dr. Eldeen Baluso of Global Eyecare,\nDr. Leanne Jeanne Encarnacion of Eye Gallery Optical Clinic Co., and Dr. Liz\nCua of George Optical, about contact lenses and what new contact lens wearers\nneed to be aware of . And as advised by these eye experts, one should first go\nthrough an eye assessment so that they can properly prescribe patients the best\ncontact lenses fit for their needs. From there, the contact lenses should have\nquality comfort, convenience, and ease of insert and removal \u2013 and most likely,\nshould be disposable as well in order to lessen the risk of eye infections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI 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,\u201d\u00a0said Dr. Leanne Jeanne. \u201cWith disposable lenses, patients wearing them may benefit from enjoying their daily activities with good vision while making sure that their eyes are fully safe\u201d she assured.
