Reported risk: Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc. (JJVC) is voluntarily recalling in canada two lots of Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism contact lenses because of quality concerns. Two lots of Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism contact lenses that are being recalled have been associated with a limited number of confirmed reports of visual acuity being 'off power' which the consumer may recognize as not accurately correcting the vision in one eye (some distortion or blurriness). Upon investigation, it was determined that inserts within the mold used for manufacturing were damaged when making the front and back curve molds of the contact lens. JJVC has implemented improved inspection techniques for the identification of damaged inserts within the mold. To date, no patient injuries related to this issue have been reported. No customer complaints related to this recall were reported in Canada.
