In 1987, Johnsonﾠ&ﾠJohnson introduced ACUVUEﾮ brand contact lenses, the first disposable contact lenses that can be worn for up to a week, thrown away and replaced with a fresh pair. The lenses eliminate the need for cleaning, disinfecting solutions and storage. Later, 1-DAY ACUVUEﾮ Brand Contact Lenses become the first daily disposable contact lens.
