Johnson & Johnson Vision recently
announced the launch of ACUVUE
VITA Brand Contact Lenses for
ASTIGMATISM, a daily wear, monthly
replacement contact lens for the
Canadian marketplace.
Astigmatism is an imperfection in
the curvature of the cornea that can
cause blurred or distorted vision.
Symptoms of uncorrected astigmatism
may include eye strain and headaches,
especially after reading or other pro-
longed visual tasks. Squinting also is
a common symptom. Mild to moderate
astigmatism can be corrected through
eyeglasses, contact lenses or surgery.
“With the launch of Acuvue Vita for
Astigmatism in 2017, patients now
have access to a monthly astigmatism
lens with a silicone hydrogel formula-
tion balanced to help maximize and
maintain hydration throughout the
lens for reliable, exceptional comfort
all month long,” says Kara Peterson,
leader of North American communica-
tions for Johnson & Johnson Vision.
