Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) today announced that it has received CE Marking for ACUVUE OASYS MAX 2-Week,*** a new reusable contact lens featuring proprietary MAX technologies designed to deliver superior comfort and visual clarity, even at day 14.*†i¥1 The lens will be rolled out in select European countries later this year with wider market rollout in 2027.

Globally, 140 million people wear contact lenses, with one in two choosing a reusable lens,2 and comfort remains their leading priority.3 With the continued rise in everyday use of digital devices and exposure to blue-violet light, more demands are being placed on patients’ eyes, often leading to reduced visual clarity and symptoms of dryness.4,5,6,7 ACUVUE OASYS MAX 2-Week brings Johnson & Johnson’s advanced MAX contact lens technologies to reusable contact lens wearers, helping address their evolving vision, comfort, and digital lifestyle needs.

“People who choose reusable contact lenses should not have to compromise on comfort or clarity as their days get busier and their eyes work harder,” said Jacqueline Henderson, Company Group Chair, Vision, MedTech, Johnson & Johnson. “With ACUVUE OASYS MAX 2-Week, we are bringing our most advanced ACUVUE technologies to a reusable lens, helping more people see clearly and feel comfortable throughout the full two-week wear cycle.”

ACUVUE OASYS MAX 2-Week combines Johnson & Johnson’s Eye-Inspired Designs††8 with advanced MAX technologies to deliver comfort and visual clarity throughout the 2-week wear cycle.±9 Key features include:

  • OptiBlue Light Filter: Filters at least 60% of blue-violet light, the highest among reusable contact lenses.◊**10
  • TearStable Technology:Helps eyes feel comfortable throughout the day by locking in moisture.11
  • Class 1 UV blocking^:In each lens helps shield the eyes from harmful radiation including the sun.
  • These combined technologies provide clearer vision whether you’re working on screens,§ outdoors§§ or driving at night.§12

For eye care professionals, ACUVUE OASYS MAX 2-Week is designed to offer a familiar fitting experience for existing ACUVUE OASYS 2-Week wearers, with the same fitting process and no additional chair time.13 In clinical testing, 99% of subjects wearing ACUVUE OASYS 2-Week were successfully refit into ACUVUE OASYS MAX 2-Week with the same power, base curve and diameter.14,15

ACUVUE OASYS MAX 2-Week is the newest addition to the ACUVUE OASYS MAX portfolio of contact lenses and aims to give the reusable market an advanced option. The lens is expected to launch through a phased rollout beginning in select European markets in late 2026, with broader market expansion planned throughout 2027 and 2028, subject to local regulatory approvals and market readiness.

ACUVUE OASYS MAX 2-Week Contact Lens has received CE Markingfor European markets. It is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is not available for sale in the United States at this time.

Important Safety Information: ACUVUEContact Lenses are indicated for vision correction. As with any contact lens, eye problems, including corneal ulcers, can develop. Some wearers may experience mild irritation, itching or discomfort. Contact lenses should not be used in case of eye infections or any other eye conditions, or in case of a systemic disease that may affect the eye. For detailed product information, including contraindications, precautions and adverse reactions, please consult the Instructions for Use available on Johnson & Johnson website www.e-ifu.com

For any additional information, please visit our Johnson & Johnson website https://www.jnjvisionpro.co.uk.

^WARNING: UV-absorbing contact lenses are NOT substitutes for protective UV-absorbing eyewear such as UV-absorbing goggles or sunglasses because they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area. You should continue to use UV-absorbing eyewear as directed. NOTE: Long-term exposure to UV radiation is one of the risk factors associated with cataracts. Exposure is based on a number of factors such as environmental conditions (altitude, geography, cloud cover) and personal factors (extent and nature of outdoor activities). UV-blocking contact lenses help provide protection against harmful UV radiation. However, clinical studies have not been done to demonstrate that wearing UV-blocking contact lenses reduces the risk of developing cataracts or other eye disorders. Consult your eye care practitioner for more information.

◊ Filtering of HEV light by contact lenses has not been demonstrated to confer any systemic and/or ocular health benefit to the user. The Eye Care Professional should be consulted for more information.
