Buy Soflens 59 Fortnightly Disposable Contact Lenses - 6 Lenses per Box

Soflens 59 (formerly named B&L 2 Week) by Bausch + Lomb is a fortnightly hydrogel contact lens frequently recommended for patients who require standard optical correction but are prone to heavy protein and lipid deposit build-up on their lenses. By utilising a deposit-resistant material, these lenses help maintain visual clarity and reduce irritation throughout the two-week wear cycle.

Key Features & Benefits

• Hilafilcon B (Hydrogel) Material: A clinically proven, non-ionic hydrogel polymer that actively resists the accumulation of tear-film proteins and lipids. This prevents the lens from becoming cloudy or uncomfortable as the days progress.
• UniFit Technology: A proprietary design parameter that ensures an even distribution of lens mass. This provides a consistent, stable fit over the cornea, allowing for smooth eyelid interaction and straightforward insertion and removal.
• High Water Content (59%): The high percentage of water integrated into the lens matrix provides an immediate cushion of moisture upon insertion, supporting initial comfort.

Who Should Wear Soflens 59?

Soflens 59 is often recommended for patients who:

• Are prone to protein or lipid deposit build-up that causes other lenses to feel gritty or cloudy.
• Require optical correction for myopia (short-sightedness) or hyperopia (long-sightedness).
• Prefer the routine of a fortnightly (two-week) replacement schedule.

Note: Suitability, fit, and replacement schedules must always be confirmed by your optometrist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sleep in Soflens 59 contact lenses?
No, you must never sleep in Soflens 59 contact lenses. They are made from a traditional hydrogel material with a lower oxygen transmissibility rate, meaning they are approved strictly for daily wear only. You must remove them every night before going to sleep to prevent severe hypoxia and eye infections.

What is the difference between Soflens 59 and Bausch + Lomb ULTRA?
The primary difference is the lens material and breathability. Soflens 59 is an older-generation hydrogel lens. Bausch + Lomb ULTRA is a modern silicone hydrogel lens featuring MoistureSeal technology. ULTRA allows significantly more oxygen to reach the eye and retains moisture for up to 16 hours, making it a highly recommended upgrade for patients experiencing dry eyes or heavy digital screen use.

Is Soflens 59 a suitable contact lens for wearers prone to deposit build-up?
Yes, Soflens 59 is highly suitable for patients who struggle with lens deposits. Its non-ionic Hilafilcon B material naturally repels the proteins and lipids found in the tear film, ensuring the lens remains clear and comfortable throughout its two-week lifespan.

How do I clean and store my Soflens 59 contact lenses?
You must clean and store your Soflens 59 lenses every night after removal. Using a high-quality multi-purpose solution, such as Optifree, ensures the removal of environmental debris. Gently rub and rinse your lenses, then soak them overnight in a fresh contact lens case. Optometrists recommend replacing your lens case every one to three months for optimal hygiene.
