When your eyes do two different tricks at once, presbyopia up close and astigmatism at every distance, most contacts make you choose what to fix first. Glasses work, but contact lens wearers have been waiting for a daily lens that does both jobs well.

That is why this announcement matters. ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1 Day Multifocal for Astigmatism is the first and only daily disposable contact lens that combines multifocal optics for presbyopia with a toric design for astigmatism. In plain English, you get stable, sharp vision near, far, and midrange without juggling readers or switching lens types.

What is new under the hood?

• Pupil optimized multifocal optics that track natural pupil size changes across prescriptions and ages, so text, dashboards, and faces stay crisp.
• Toric stability that uses natural eyelid movement to keep the lens oriented correctly for consistent astigmatism correction.
• All day comfort and modern light management with materials that support the tear film and a filter to manage high energy visible light from screens and bright environments.

Who is a good candidate?

• You are in your 40s or beyond and notice near vision strain with measurable astigmatism.
• You are done compromising and tired of swapping readers or choosing between distance clarity and up close comfort.
• You prefer the hygiene and simplicity of a daily lens.

What to expect at a fitting

Your optometrist will measure your prescription, map your corneal astigmatism, and select an initial lens power and axis. After a short adaptation period, most wearers report smooth transitions from phone to laptop to night driving, which is exactly the experience daily multifocal torics are meant to deliver.

Bottom line

Multifocal plus toric in a daily disposable was the missing piece. If you were told in the past that contacts were not ideal because you have both presbyopia and astigmatism, it is time for a fresh conversation. There is finally a lens built for you.
