#53: Acuvue Vita: The New Monthly Lens
with Jeff Sonsino, OD, FAAO and Cristina Schnider, OD, MBA, FAAO
Press play to listen:
The Acuvue Vita is a new monthly replacement lens by Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.
In this interview, I spoke with @Jeffrey Sonsino and @Cristina Schnider OD MSc MBA at AOA Boston about the new lens and how it fits into practice.
(Interestingly, Jeff was the very first person to place a commercial order for the lens, so as of now, he knows more than anyone about its long-term performance in the field.)
About Jeff & Cris:
Jeff Sonsino, OD, FAAO is the Chairman of the AOA’s Contact Lens and Cornea Section. He graduated from the New England College of Optometry with research honors, was a Faculty member at Vanderbilt Eye Institute for 12 years, and now is a partner in a multi-specialty private practice in Nashville, TN. Additionally, Dr. Sonsino consults for nine industry companies, including Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.
