We strive to increase awareness of the importance of vision and vision care and to provide the world's best vision correction choices. Called to put people first, we are backed by pioneering spirit and the power of Johnson & Johnson, one of the world’s largest healthcare companies, with 150,000+ global employees, adding a mix of clinical capabilities, regulatory know-how, and technical expertise.

We care for over 40 million people’s vision each year¹

Sight is a key component in the way many of us experience the world, learn and remember, and what many fear losing the most. Vision is the most dominant of the five senses and plays a crucial role in every facet of our lives.²

Our vision: To be the leader in eye health for a patient’s lifetime journey.

Our mission: To help every human see their world clearly. 

Our Credo

The values that guide our decision making are spelled out in Our Credo. Put simply, Our Credo challenges us to put the needs and well-being of the people we serve first.

Robert Wood Johnson, former chairman from 1932 to 1963 and a member of the Company's founding family, crafted Our Credo himself in 1943, just before Johnson & Johnson became a publicly traded company. This was long before anyone ever heard the term "corporate social responsibility." Our Credo is more than just a moral compass. We believe it's a recipe for business success. The fact that Johnson & Johnson is one of only a handful of companies that have flourished through more than a century of change is proof of that.
