1-Day Acuvue Moist Multifocal contact lenses from Johnson & Johnson are daily disposable multifocal lenses designed to correct presbyopia — the age-related difficulty with near vision that typically begins in the mid-40s. These lenses allow clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances, removing the need to carry reading glasses for everyday tasks.
Built with LACREON® Technology for a long-lasting moisture cushion and Pupil Optimized Design for personalized multifocal performance across a range of pupil sizes and light conditions, these lenses combine presbyopia correction with the comfort and convenience of a fresh daily disposable lens.
As a 90-pack, these lenses provide a 3-month supply for one eye with no cleaning, no storage, and no maintenance required.
Presbyopia is a natural, age-related change in the eye's ability to focus on close objects. It occurs because the eye's crystalline lens gradually loses its flexibility over time, making it harder to shift focus between near and far distances. Presbyopia typically begins in the mid-40s and progresses through the 50s and early 60s.
Common signs include holding reading material further away to see it clearly, difficulty reading small text in dim light, eye strain or headaches after close work, and the need for reading glasses over existing contact lenses. Presbyopia is not a disease — it is a normal part of ageing that affects virtually everyone.
Multifocal contact lenses correct presbyopia by providing multiple prescription powers within a single lens — allowing the eye to access the appropriate power for near, intermediate, and distance viewing without switching between glasses.
If you are experiencing difficulty with near vision, consult your eye care professional for an assessment and multifocal contact lens fitting.
The core challenge of multifocal contact lens design is that pupil size — and therefore which zone of the multifocal lens an individual uses — varies between people of different ages and in different light conditions. A design calibrated for one pupil profile may not deliver optimal performance across the full range of wearers and environments.
Pupil Optimized Design addresses this by tailoring the multifocal optical zone configuration to two variables simultaneously: the wearer's refractive error and their age (which correlates with typical pupil size). This means the lens a 48-year-old wearer receives has different optical zone proportions than the lens a 62-year-old wearer receives — even if their sphere prescription is identical. The result is personalized multifocal performance optimized for how that specific wearer's pupil actually behaves.
Many contact lenses rely on surface moisture coatings that can diminish over time, leading to progressive dryness and discomfort — particularly towards the end of the day. LACREON® Technology works differently: it permanently embeds a PVP wetting agent throughout the Etafilcon A material itself.
This embedded agent mimics the composition of natural tears, creating a moisture-rich lens environment that is maintained throughout the wear period. LACREON® has been shown to provide a lasting cushion of moisture for 20 hours or more — supporting consistent comfort from morning to removal, including in challenging environments such as air-conditioned offices, dry climates, or long-haul travel.
For presbyopia wearers who also have myopia or hyperopia, the alternatives to multifocal contact lenses typically involve carrying and switching between distance correction (glasses or contact lenses) and reading glasses throughout the day. Multifocal contact lenses provide both corrections simultaneously in a single lens — eliminating the inconvenience of managing multiple pairs of glasses and enabling clear vision at all distances at all times.
1-Day Acuvue Moist Multifocal lenses are designed for single daily use only. Each lens should be:
These lenses are not approved for overnight wear. Reusing daily disposable lenses or wearing them overnight increases the risk of eye discomfort, irritation, and infection. Always follow your eye care professional's guidance on wear duration.

1-Day Acuvue Moist Multifocal are daily disposable multifocal contact lenses from Johnson & Johnson, designed to correct presbyopia alongside myopia or hyperopia. They feature LACREON® Technology for a moisture cushion lasting 20 hours or more, Pupil Optimized Design for personalized multifocal performance by age and refraction, and Class 2 UV protection. Made from Etafilcon A hydrogel with 58% water content. Available in a 90-pack providing a 3-month supply for one eye.
Presbyopia is a natural age-related change in the eye's focusing ability, typically beginning in the mid-40s. As the eye's lens loses flexibility, it becomes harder to focus on nearby objects — making reading small text, looking at screens, or switching between near and far distances more difficult. Multifocal contact lenses address this by incorporating multiple prescription powers in a single lens, providing appropriate correction for near, intermediate, and far distances simultaneously — removing the need to carry reading glasses.
Pupil Optimized Design tailors the multifocal optical zones to both the wearer's refractive error and their age — which corresponds to typical presbyopic pupil size. By personalizing 100% of lens parameters across both variables, this design accounts for the natural variation in pupil behaviour that affects multifocal performance across different light levels and viewing distances. This means each wearer receives a lens specifically optimized for how their pupil actually responds.
LACREON® Technology permanently embeds a PVP wetting agent throughout the Etafilcon A lens material, creating a long-lasting moisture cushion that is maintained for 20 hours or more. Unlike surface coatings that can diminish, the embedded wetting agent stays active throughout the daily wear period — supporting consistent comfort from first application to end-of-day removal.
These lenses are designed for up to 14 hours of daily wear. Remove and discard at the end of each day. Always follow your eye care professional's guidance on daily wear duration specific to your circumstances.
No. These are daily disposable lenses and are not approved for overnight wear or napping. Remove and discard at the end of each day and apply a fresh pair the following morning. Wearing daily disposable lenses overnight or for naps increases the risk of eye discomfort and infection.
No. These are single-use daily disposable lenses. Reusing them beyond a single day of wear significantly increases the risk of eye infections from deposit and microorganism build-up on the lens surface.
Yes. These lenses offer Class 2 UV protection, blocking approximately 97% of UVB rays and 82% of UVA rays. Note: Contact lenses do not cover the entire eye and should not replace UV-protective sunglasses or eyewear.
No. These lenses correct presbyopia alongside myopia or hyperopia only. They do not correct astigmatism. For presbyopia combined with astigmatism correction, consult your eye care professional for an appropriate multifocal toric lens option.
LACREON® Technology's embedded moisture cushion of 20 hours or more supports comfort for wearers prone to dryness, making these a viable option for many wearers with mild dryness. Individual results vary — consult your eye care professional if you experience persistent dryness, as they may recommend alternative lens options or dry eye management.
The Etafilcon A material's high water content of 58% and the embedded LACREON® moisture cushion provide a soft, naturally comfortable lens environment that many wearers with sensitive eyes find well-tolerated. Individual sensitivity varies — consult your eye care professional to confirm suitability.
For a full year's supply for both eyes you will need 8 boxes — 4 boxes per eye. Each 90-pack provides approximately 3 months of daily wear for one eye. If you wear lenses occasionally rather than daily, fewer boxes may be sufficient.
Both lenses use Pupil Optimized Design for personalized presbyopia correction in a daily disposable format. The key differences are in material and technology: 1-Day Acuvue Moist Multifocal uses Etafilcon A hydrogel with 58% water content and LACREON® Technology for 20+ hours of moisture. Acuvue Oasys Max 1-Day Multifocal uses Senofilcon A silicone hydrogel with higher oxygen transmissibility (Dk/t 147 vs 25.5), TearStable™ Technology, and adds OptiBlue™ blue-violet light filtration and Class 1 UV protection. The better option depends on your individual prescription, oxygen needs, and lifestyle — consult your eye care professional.
Yes. A valid contact lens prescription — including sphere, add power, and base curve — from a licensed eye care professional is required. A multifocal lens fitting requires additional assessment beyond a standard contact lens prescription, including evaluation of your add power and pupil response. WebEyeCare will verify your prescription according to current rules and regulations.
Multifocal contact lenses provide near, intermediate, and distance correction simultaneously in both eyes — eliminating the need to switch between contact lenses and reading glasses throughout the day. For presbyopia wearers who also have myopia or hyperopia, this is a significant practical convenience. That said, some wearers find an adjustment period when first wearing multifocal contact lenses, and not all wearers achieve ideal multifocal performance. Consult your eye care professional to assess whether multifocal contacts are the right solution for your prescription and visual needs.
With several participants, we have evaluated the 1-Day Acuvue Moist Multifocal 90 Pack thoroughly. This detailed assessment will give you a more specific understanding of its performance for people with presbyopia.
These lenses have been assured to be both comfortable and practical and are the ultimate go-to lens for most people. In our testing, we discovered a lot of pros and cons that can help you decide whether or not to go with these lenses.
The material of the 1-Day Acuvue Moist Multifocal 90 Pack is key to its comfort and practicality. It is made with Etafilcon A, a hydrogel known for gentle touch and high water content. The 58% water content makes this material supple and gentle fit for sensitive eyes.
The lens design focuses on softness and flexibility, creating an adaptable solution that conforms to your eye shape. Its composition encourages high oxygen permeability, essential to eye health when worn for long hours.
The choice of material not only upholds comfort but also helps in reducing the risk of irritation and dry-eye syndrome associated with less breathable lenses.
Hydration is an essential part of any contact lens, and these lenses do a great job with LACREON® Technology. It is a wetting agent embedded permanently in the lens matrix that retains moisture throughout the day.
Wearers usually report a significant reduction in dryness and better comfort, even after long hours at work or extended usage. With the ability to retain moisture up to 14 hours, these lenses are perfect for everyday wear scenarios that call for longevity without sacrificing comfort.
Its technology keeps the eye constantly lubricated, thus minimizing friction between lens and cornea. This is especially helpful in environments that are dry or for those with naturally dry eyes.
The lens offers Class 2 UV protection, which blocks roughly 86% of UVA and 99% of UVB radiation. This protection is huge, but keep in mind that these lenses shouldn’t be used to replace your UV-blocking eyewear entirely.
The inclusion of UV blocking is especially useful for the protection against cataracts and other sun-induced ocular. These lenses provide an extra layer of protection for people who are often in the sun, like those working outdoors or living in sunny areas.
But, pairing them with sunglasses with full-spectrum UV-protection will give you the best outcomes in maintaining your eye health.
The 1-Day Acuvue Moist Multifocal lenses are designed for one-day wear. The daily disposable nature means that users are able to experience the freshness of a new lens every day, without the chance of contamination and infection associated with reusable lenses.
Even though these lenses are comfortable for up to 14 hours, you need to remove them after a long day so your eyes can get some rest. With no cleaning or storage needs, these lenses are convenient and ideal for users with active lifestyles or those who travel a lot. Use of a new pair daily makes them both safe and effective.
These lenses also offer greater comfort thanks to the use of LACREON® Technology and a hybrid back curve design that adapts to the natural contour of the cornea. The design supports proper centration, a key to keeping a secure and stable fit during the wear period.
Many users find it extremely comfortable with minimal irritation and effortless lens-wear for long hours. Whether you’re reading, driving or just going about your daily business, these lenses stay in place and fit well, it means you never have to adjust them frequently.
Even better, the lenses prevent you from noticing they’re on your eyes, which is a common problem with less advanced contact lenses.
Our 1-Day Acuvue Moist Multifocal 90 Pack evaluation uncovers a product that has some very good features but also some limitations. The pros are great moisture retention, daily disposability for better hygiene, and significant UV-protection, all adding up to a very good user experience.
Nonetheless, there are other issues, including the lens’s price tag, its unsuitability for those with astigmatism, limited power range and advice against overnight use. Choosing these lenses should help determine whether the lenses have value that meets your visual and lifestyle preferences.
Such lenses are a great choice for those who care about hygiene, moisture and comfort.
