Acuvue

[1] Acuvue lenses got their start at Frontier Contact Lens Company, founded in Buffalo, New York in 1959 by Dr. Allen Isen, George Sitterle, and Dr. William Feinbloom.

In 1962, Seymour Marco joined the venture and Frontier moved its operations to Jacksonville, Florida.

Frontier was among the first in the US to take this material, widely used in Europe, and combine it with a lathe cutting process to produce soft contact lenses.

Utilizing Stabilized Soft Molding (SSM) technology, Vistakon undertook a major overhaul in its production processes.

[4] Eventually the product line grew to range from the 1-day wear to two-week lenses such as the Acuvue 2 and Oasys and the Vita monthly lens.
