Johnson & Johnson has issued a voluntary recall for 13 models of Acuvue Oasys Max 1-day Multi-Focal Contact Lenses in Canada. The recall, which began on June 12, 2025, comes after the company found a high density of microbubbles in specific lens lots.
Health Canada posted an advisory about the recall on June 20, 2025, explaining that these microbubbles – microscopic empty spaces within the lenses – pose no medical harm but may cause visual disturbances, especially in low-light conditions.

What Users Should Do
If you use Acuvue Oasys Max 1-day Multi-Focal lenses, check the lot number on your lens packaging. This information appears on both the outer box and individual blister packs.
Health Canada advises users with affected lenses to contact the manufacturer for more information. The company has not specified how many affected lenses were sold in Canada.
The full list of affected lot numbers is available on Health Canada’s website. The agency posted the recall notice on June 20, though the voluntary recall by Johnson & Johnson began on June 12.
Johnson & Johnson described the issue as “microscopic voids” within the contact lenses found in “specific limited lots” that could cause visual disturbances, particularly in low-light conditions.
