<p>If you wear contacts, you may want to take a closer look, as Health Canada has issued a nationwide recall of a popular contact lens brand.</p>
<p>On June 20, the health department <a href="https://recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/alert-recall/acuvuer-oasys-max-1-day-multi-focal-contact-lenses?utm_source=gc-notify&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=en&amp;utm_campaign=hc-sc-rsa-22-23#tablefield-node-77637-field_affected_products-0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued a recall</a> of the Acuvue® Oasys Max 1-day Multifocal contact lenses. U.S.-based Johnson &amp; Johnson Vision Care, Inc. announced a voluntary recall after it found a high density of microbubbles (microscopic voids within the contact lens) in affected lots.</p>
<p>&#8220;Microbubbles will not cause medical harm but may be associated with visual disturbances, particularly in low-light conditions,&#8221; reads the statement.</p>

<p>The recall has been categorized as a type II recall. According to <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/drugs-health-products/compliance-enforcement/recalls/guidance-drug-natural-health-products/document.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Health Canada</a>, a type II recall is assigned to a situation where &#8220;the use of, or exposure to, a recalled product may cause temporary adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.&#8221;</p>
<p>The announcement didn&#8217;t specify how many of the affected lots were sold in Canada or if there were any incident reports from consumers.</p>
<p>The recall affects several batches of the Acuvue® Oasys Max 1-day Multifocal contact lenses. To find out if you own the recalled product, check the serial number and model number below:</p>
