Health Canada says a voluntary recall has been issued by Johnson & Johnson Vision care over several models of one of its Acuvue contact lenses.
A total of 13 models of the Acuvue Oasys Max 1-day Multi-Focal Contact Lenses are affected by the recall, with people advised to contact the manufacturer if more information is needed.
The recall is due to a high density of microbubbles that could cause “visual disturbances.”
The microbubbles, also known as microscopic voids within the contact lens, were found in “specific limited lots,” and Health Canada says while it poses no medical harm, it could cause visual disturbances, “particularly in low-light conditions.”
