Contact Lens Manufacturers and Brand Tables

Alcon, CooperVision, Johnson & Johnson, Bausch + Lomb, private label, and specialty brand parameter tables

Using This Directory: Brand Verification, Parameter Lookup, and Private Label Matching

When to use the manufacturer directory

Use this directory when you already have a brand name, lens box, or manufacturer in mind and want to confirm parameters for ordering or documentation. Each company page summarizes that manufacturer's soft lens portfolio in a consistent table format: BC, DIA, material, Dk/t, and published power ranges across sphere, toric, multifocal, and multifocal toric designs.

The four major manufacturer pages cover Alcon (Dailies Total1, Air Optix, Precision1), CooperVision (MyDay, Biofinity, clariti, Avaira Vitality, MiSight), Johnson & Johnson (Acuvue Oasys, Acuvue Vita), and Bausch + Lomb (Ultra, Biotrue ONEday, SofLens). Each page includes phone numbers and website links for ordering and clinical support.

What you will find on each manufacturer page

Tables focus on the details that most often affect ordering and documentation: base curve, diameter, material family and Dk/t, published sphere and cylinder power ranges, axis availability, and add powers for multifocal designs. These are not exhaustive product catalogs — they are structured for fast chairside verification. When a case involves uncommon parameters, high-risk fits, or recent product changes, confirm final ordering details against current manufacturer labeling or your sales representative.

Private-label and store-brand lenses

Retailers such as Costco, Walmart, Sam's Club, and online direct-to-consumer sellers package established lens designs under their own brand names. When a patient presents with a box you do not recognize, the Private Label Cross-Reference maps store-brand names to the likely underlying manufacturer and lens family. Treat the match as a clinical starting point, then verify parameters and confirm fit on eye before assuming equivalence.

Niche and specialty soft lens brands

When a prescription falls outside the major portfolios — very high sphere powers, uncommon toric parameters, cosmetic designs, or comfort-driven material alternatives — the Other Brands & Specialty Designs page lists options from smaller and independent manufacturers. This is useful when you need extended ranges that keep a patient in soft lenses rather than moving to specialty fits, or when a cosmetic lens requires a properly fit, FDA-cleared alternative to unregulated products.

How this directory fits alongside your other tools

This directory is for the brand-first moment: when you know the manufacturer and need to verify what they offer. For cross-brand comparison by replacement schedule and design type, start with the Modality and Wear Guides. For optical math (vertex correction, cylinder transposition, spherical equivalent), use the Conversion Calculators. Together, these three sections cover the full prescribing workflow from lens selection through parameter verification to final order.

Manufacturer and Brand FAQs

Where can I find base curve, diameter, and power ranges for a specific lens?

Select the manufacturer from the directory above to view parameter tables for each lens family. Tables list BC, DIA, material, Dk/t, and published power ranges in a consistent format. If you want to compare the same parameters across brands by replacement schedule, use the Modality and Wear Guides instead.

How do I identify a store-brand or private-label contact lens?

Use the Private Label Cross-Reference to look up the box name and identify the underlying manufacturer and lens family. Common private label sources include Costco Kirkland, Walmart equate, and online direct-to-consumer brands. After matching, confirm parameters on the corresponding manufacturer page before ordering or rewriting the prescription.

Do toric lenses stabilize the same way across manufacturers?

No. Toric stabilization is manufacturer- and design-specific. Approaches include prism ballast, periballast, accelerated stabilization, and hybrid designs, all of which interact differently with lid anatomy and blink mechanics. When rotation or fluctuating vision is a problem with one toric design, switching to a lens with a different stabilization approach from another manufacturer is often a productive next step.

Can I match fit across brands by using the same base curve and diameter?

Not reliably. Two lenses with the same labeled BC and DIA can behave differently on eye due to differences in material modulus, edge design, thickness profile, and surface treatment. A lens with identical labeled parameters from a different manufacturer should be evaluated as a new fit: check centration, movement, comfort, and vision before finalizing.

What should I do when a patient's Rx doesn't fit any major manufacturer portfolio?

Check the Other Brands & Specialty Designs page for extended sphere ranges, uncommon toric parameters, and niche multifocal options from smaller manufacturers. If soft lens options are still insufficient, consider RGP, scleral, or hybrid specialty fits with appropriate fitting guides and diagnostic sets.

How often are manufacturer parameter tables updated?

Tables are reviewed periodically for product launches, discontinuations, and meaningful parameter changes. Even with routine updates, verify key ordering details with the manufacturer or your sales representative when a change could materially affect risk or visual performance, especially for new products or uncommon parameter combinations.
