'Constant Innovation Through Quality' has always been the motto of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care and it is this philosophy that has established our company as the worldwide leaders in the contact lenses industry.

Today we are known for our pioneering work in contact lens science. For example, ACUVUE contact lenses, launched in 1992, were the first disposable lenses that could be worn for two weeks and then disposed for a new pair. This was followed by ACUVUE 1-DAY, the first daily disposable lens and the innovative breakthrough of ACUVUEŽ BIFOCAL was acknowledged by the Slimo d' Or for Innovation in Contact Lens Science.
