Why is TruEye discontinued?
All contact lens manufacturers are dealing with supply chain issues and can't get their raw materials in time to meet production goals. Acuvue is discontinuing TruEye so they can focus on their more popular or newer products. By discontinuingTruEye, they canput their resources behind those other products instead.
