Enables us to be one of the First Practices in Australia to Offer the New J&J Daily Disposable Multifocal Toric Contact Lens
At Mark Hinds Optometrists, we are proud to continue leading the way in advanced contact lens technology — becoming one of the first practices in Australia to fit the new Johnson & Johnson ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day MULTIFOCAL for ASTIGMATISM contact lenses.
This next-generation lens technology represents a major advancement for patients living with both:
- Presbyopia (age-related near vision changes), and
- Astigmatism (blurred or distorted vision due to irregular corneal shape)
Historically, managing both conditions simultaneously in a soft daily disposable contact lens has been difficult. Many patients were forced to compromise between comfort, convenience, distance clarity, and near vision performance.
That is now changing.
A Significant Advancement in Contact Lens Technology
Johnson & Johnson recently announced the global launch of the first and only daily disposable multifocal toric contact lens designed specifically for patients with both presbyopia and astigmatism.
The new lens combines multiple advanced optical technologies into a single daily disposable platform designed to provide:
- Clear vision at distance, intermediate, and near
- Stable vision for astigmatism correction
- Improved comfort throughout the day
- Convenience of a daily disposable lens
- Enhanced visual performance in varying lighting conditions
The lens platform incorporates:
- Blink Stabilised Design
- Pupil Optimised Multifocal Design
- TearStable™ Technology
- OptiBlue™ light filtering technology
For many patients, this may finally provide a realistic alternative to monovision compromises or more complex lens systems.
Why This Matters for Patients
Presbyopia affects almost everyone with age, while astigmatism remains one of the most common refractive conditions worldwide.
Patients with both conditions often report:
- Difficulty reading in contact lenses
- Poor night vision
- Glare and halos
- Reduced visual stability
- Eye fatigue during screen use
- Frustration with previous multifocal options
The new ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day MULTIFOCAL for ASTIGMATISM lens has been specifically developed to address these challenges. Early clinical and practitioner feedback internationally has been extremely encouraging.

We are passionate about bringing the latest evidence-based technologies to Australian patients as early as possible.
Being among the first practices in Australia to access and fit this technology reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation, education, and patient outcomes.
Who May Benefit?
These lenses may be suitable for patients who:
- Need reading correction but still want contact lenses
- Have astigmatism and previously struggled with multifocal lenses
- Want the convenience of a daily disposable lens
- Spend long hours on digital devices
- Experience fluctuating vision with older lens technologies
- Are seeking improved visual quality and comfort
As with all multifocal contact lens systems, careful assessment and fitting is essential to optimise performance.
Experience Matters
Successful multifocal toric fitting often requires:
- Detailed refractive analysis
- Corneal assessment
- Ocular surface evaluation
- Understanding of visual priorities and lifestyle needs
- Careful lens selection and optimisation
At Mark Hinds Optometrists, our team uses advanced diagnostic technology and extensive contact lens experience to help achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients.
