COMFORT YOU BARELY NOTICE
VISION Works Group Founder and Director, Optometrist Ryan Tan, compared ACUVUE ® OASYS MAX 1-Day directly against several other contact lens brands during his two-week evaluation.
Wearing different lenses in each eye allowed him to make direct comparisons, and he consistently found the new lens superior in both comfort and visual quality.
The OptiBlue™ Light Filter stood out by reducing glare, particularly during night driving, while maintaining stable vision after long hours of wear.
Ryan is especially excited about introducing the multifocal version to patients over 40 with presbyopia, describing it as a welcome breakthrough in a category with relatively limited options.
Based on his experience, he considers the product mature, welldeveloped and ready for market.

FOR Flexzoom Optometrist Founder and Optometrist Aaron Aussie, the advisory board provided valuable insights into an emerging opportunity within multifocal contact lenses.
He believes the product ' s innovations will help ECPs reduce contact lens dropout caused by dryness while encouraging more patients to continue lens wear.
Aaron sees particular potential among active adults entering early presbyopia, a growing patient group often underserved by current contact lens options.
Having followed the product ' s international rollout, he welcomed its arrival in Malaysia and expressed confidence that the innovation is ready to benefit local patients.

AFTER wearing ACUVUE ® OASYS MAX 1-Day for a week, Association of Malaysian Optometrists( AMO) President and Visioncare Optometrist Founder and Optometrist Ahmad Fadhullah Fuzai described the experience as exceptionally comfortable.
Even after hours of wear, he said the lenses felt so natural that he barely noticed they were in his eyes.
Based on his own experience, he believes the product is ready for launch and expects it to benefit a wide range of wearers, particularly those entering the early stages of presbyopia who are beginning to experience difficulty with near vision.

SHARPER VISION WITH GREATER COMFORT
STRONG POTENTIAL FOR EMERGING PRESBYOPES
RELIABLE VISION FROM MORNING TO NIGHT
AS a first-time multifocal contact lens wearer, optometrist Yvonne Siaw Yin Fung, from Eye Street Optometrist, was initially surprised by the warmer visual tone created by the blue-violet light filter.
However, she quickly found that it enhanced contrast, improved focus on digital devices and reduced glare and halos during night driving.
Previously, Yvonne struggled to wear contact lenses for more than 12 hours because of dryness.
During the trial, however, she comfortably exceeded that duration while enjoying consistently clear vision.
She believes the blue-violet light filtering technology gives ECPs a valuable new option to recommend to patients seeking greater visual comfort in today ' s digital world.
ALTHOUGH not a regular contact lens wearer, Eyecon Optometry Optometrist Cheah Wen Tye found ACUVUE ® OASYS MAX 1-Day remarkably comfortable from the first fitting.
He was impressed by the smooth transition between distance and near vision, describing the experience as natural and effortless.
Cheah believes the lens design offers excellent stability and visual performance compared with existing multifocal options.
He sees strong potential among emerging presbyopes in their late thirties and early forties, as well as among existing multifocal wearers seeking a more stable and comfortable alternative.
EYEZ Optometry Holdings Optometrist Adeline Chieng Yih Fang highlighted the lens ' lasting comfort as one of its greatest strengths.
Unlike some lenses that become less comfortable later in the day, she found ACUVUE ® OASYS MAX 1-Day remained comfortable even after extended wear.
She also experienced consistently stable vision, with less fluctuation and blurring towards the end of the day. Adeline believes the product will appeal particularly to premium contact lens wearers looking for an upgrade, while suggesting future expansion into multifocal toric designs could help serve patients with both presbyopia and astigmatism who currently have limited options.
