Ms. Saowanee Punkajornwet, Business Unit Director – Vision Care, Johnson & Johnson Vision said, “We believe that every woman has their own unique strength and beauty, and it all starts with their eyes. We have been continuously doing surveys on Asian women’s needs, in order to develop products that rightly answer to their demands. That is why we have come up with an idea to design the beauty contact lens that feature color tone which is most similar to natural iris pattern, while  adding depth and greater definition to enhance natural beauty. Right now, we have 7 designs of beauty contact lens, and the latest design that we would like to introduce this year is “Radiant Chic” that lets you express your beauty chic in your own unique way.”
 
“Furthermore, we found that modern women do not choose contact lenses only to enhance the beauty of their eyes, but they also care about their eye health. Our contact lenses come with Lacreon™ Technology, which embeds a moisture-rich wetting and creates a cushion of moisture of up to 20 hours for beautiful and healthy eyes that shine all day. Also, for eye health conscious, the Beauty-Wrapped-in-Comfort™ Technology helps to ensure that the pigment layers are sealed between clear lens material to prevent any color pigments from coming into contact with the eyes, whilst does not block oxygen transmitabiltiy to conea. Lastly, the UV-blocking technology helps protect the covered portions of your eyes from the transmission of the sun’s harmful rays like UVA and UVB” Ms. Saowanee added.
