Disposable contact lenses in 1987

Disposable contact lenses in 1987 were a revolutionary step in eye care.

Vistakon, a Division of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, introduced disposable contact lenses back in 1987 when they announced the ACUVUE brand of soft contact Lenses.

Today, disposable lenses are usually discarded and replaced every two weeks, but some can be worn for as long as a month.

Modern disposable lenses have progressed since those first disposable contact lenses in 1987.
