Bausch and Lomb Contact Lenses

Why Bausch & Lomb Lenses Perform So Well

• Advanced MoistureSeal® & ComfortFeel Technology: Featured in the ULTRA One Day range, these two technologies work together to retain 96% of the lens's moisture for up to 16 hours. If your eyes tend to feel dry or gritty by mid-afternoon, this is the technology that addresses that directly.
• High Definition (HD) Optics: Built into the PureVision 2 and ULTRA lines, HD Optics reduces spherical aberration to sharpen your vision in low-light conditions and reduce halos around headlights when driving at night.
• ComfortMoist Technology: Wraps Purevision lenses in a moisture-rich cushion so they feel comfortable from the moment you put them in to the moment you take them out.
• Auto Align Design: Engineered for toric lenses, this feature uses your natural blink to keep the lens perfectly positioned on your eye — giving astigmatism wearers consistently sharp, stable vision throughout the day.

Which Bausch & Lomb Lens Is Right For You?

Here's a practical guide to the lenses we stock online, plus a clear path for wearers who need something more specialised. Your optometrist will always confirm the right fit — but this should help you arrive at that conversation knowing what to ask about:

• You want the ultimate premium daily disposable for long, 16-hour days and heavy screen use: Choose ULTRA One Day, offering industry-leading moisture retention and UV blocking.
• You previously wore the original PureVision and want a modern monthly upgrade: Choose the updated PureVision 2 with HD Optics, which features the same highly breathable silicone hydrogel but with a refined, thinner design to reduce glare from digital screens.
• You need reliable, time-tested comfort for everyday wear: Choose SofLens 38 or SofLens 59.
• You have astigmatism and need stable, sharp vision: Choose PureVision 2 for Astigmatism, PureVision Toric, or SofLens 66 Toric.
• You have presbyopia and struggle to read small text close up: Choose ULTRA One Day Multifocal, PureVision Multifocal, or SofLens Multi-Focal to enjoy seamless vision at all distances.

Note: All transitions to a new contact lens brand or technology must be evaluated and prescribed by your optometrist.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Bausch & Lomb ULTRA One Day different from other daily lenses?
Most daily lenses lose moisture throughout the day. ULTRA One Day is specifically engineered to hold onto 96% of its moisture for up to 16 hours, thanks to the combination of Advanced MoistureSeal® and ComfortFeel technologies. For anyone who spends long hours on screens or finds their eyes feel dry by late afternoon, this lens addresses that problem directly. It's also a silicone hydrogel — meaning it allows far more oxygen to reach your cornea than a standard hydrogel daily lens.

What is the difference between the original PureVision and PureVision 2 HD?
PureVision 2 with HD Optics is the direct upgrade to the original PureVision. Both are highly breathable silicone hydrogel monthly lenses, but PureVision 2 with HD Optics has a thinner edge design and High Definition Optics that specifically reduce halos and glare — something the original lens didn't address as effectively. Another thing to note is that PureVision lenses are made to order, so delivery can take 3–8 weeks from the manufacturer. If you're currently wearing original PureVision, it's worth asking your optometrist whether PureVision 2 might suit you better.

Can I sleep in Bausch & Lomb contacts?
Only the PureVision and PureVision 2 with HD Optics lenses are approved for extended (overnight) wear. They're made from AerGel silicone hydrogel, which allows enough oxygen to pass through the lens to keep your cornea healthy while your eyes are closed. They also have a special surface treatment that resists protein deposit buildup during extended wear. That said, sleeping in any contact lens — even approved ones — carries real risk if not monitored by your optometrist. Please don't do it without an explicit recommendation from your eye care professional.

How do I know when to replace my Bausch & Lomb lenses?
It depends on the lens type. Daily lenses like ULTRA One Day are single-use — worn once and discarded. Monthly lenses like PureVision 2 and SofLens are replaced every 30 days, even if they still feel comfortable. Never extend the wear period beyond what your optometrist or the lens packaging specifies.
