VISTAKON® builds a rich heritage by continually advancing contact lens technology in response to doctor and patient desires.
What ultimately became known as ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses were first manufactured at Frontier Contact Lens Company in Buffalo, New York, in the 1950s. As the company grew, it opened a branch in Jacksonville, Florida, and was headed by Seymour Marco, an optometrist with significant experience fitting what were then hard contact lenses.
During the 1970s, Marco developed a new hydrogel material, etafilcon A, and Frontier began making soft contact lenses.
New, second-generation materials such as senofilicon A, found in ACUVUE® OASYS™ Brand Contact Lenses, have helped provide patients with even greater comfort. This material is available in designs to correct myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia.
Their One Day Moist is one of our favorite daily lenses.
