Johnson & Johnson to Suspend the Supply of Contact Lenses to Russia

American Johnson & Johnson will stop supplying contact lenses to Russia. The company’s lenses account for half of all imports of lenses to Russia.

Johnson & Johnson is sending notices to Russian optics salons on the termination of import after new restrictions of the United States, Russian media report.

Partial problems with the supply of contact lenses in the Russian Federation began immediately after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Back then, the largest manufacturers promptly reduced the volume of imports.

American brands account for at least 70% of the lens market in Russia. Johnson & Johnson alone accounts for almost half of the total.
