Product Introduction
Soflens Multifocal by Bausch + Lomb is a monthly hydrogel contact lens often recommended for patients experiencing presbyopia. By utilising a center-near aspheric design, these lenses enable wearers to seamlessly transition their focus between near, intermediate, and distance objects without relying on reading glasses.
Please Note: Soflens Multifocal is made to order by Bausch + Lomb. Due to this specialised manufacturing process, please allow 3 to 8 weeks for your lenses to be produced and dispatched.
Advanced Lens Technology & Benefits
- NatraSight™ Optics: A proprietary center-near aspheric design that creates broad transition zones for near, intermediate, and far focal points, allowing the eye to naturally find the correct focus during everyday tasks.
- Polymacon Material: A time-tested, non-ionic hydrogel polymer that actively resists the accumulation of tear-film proteins and lipids, ensuring the lens remains optically clear and physically comfortable over the 30-day wear schedule.
- Ultra-Thin Edge Design: A precision-tapered lens profile that minimises interaction with the eyelid during blinking, supporting sustained comfort immediately upon insertion.
Who Should Wear Soflens Multifocal?
Soflens Multifocal is often recommended for patients who:
- Require optical correction specifically for presbyopia.
- Struggle to focus on close-up text or digital screens but still require distance correction.
- Are prone to protein and lipid deposit build-up that causes standard lenses to feel gritty.
- Are willing to accommodate a 3 to 8-week manufacturing lead time for a custom prescription.
Note: Suitability and replacement schedules must always be confirmed by your optometrist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Soflens Multifocal require a 3 to 8-week delivery time?
Soflens Multifocal is made to order by Bausch + Lomb and is no longer held in standard stock. Each order is individually manufactured to match the patient's specific presbyopic prescription, requiring an extended lead time for production and dispatch.
Can I sleep in Soflens Multifocal contact lenses?
No, Soflens Multifocal is strictly approved for daily wear only. Manufactured from an older-generation hydrogel material with an oxygen transmissibility of 8.4 Dk/t, these lenses must be removed before sleeping to prevent severe hypoxia and minimise the risk of corneal infections.
How does Soflens Multifocal compare to Bausch + Lomb ULTRA for Presbyopia?
Soflens Multifocal is a hydrogel lens, whereas Bausch + Lomb ULTRA for Presbyopia is a modern silicone hydrogel lens featuring MoistureSeal™ technology and a 3-Zone Progressive™ design. Bausch + Lomb ULTRA for Presbyopia allows significantly more oxygen to reach the eye, making it a frequent upgrade for wearers experiencing dry eyes, and it is typically available for immediate dispatch.
How do I clean and store Soflens Multifocal contact lenses?
Soflens Multifocal must be cleaned and stored every night after removal. Using a multi-purpose solution such as Optifree Pure Moist ensures the removal of daily protein deposits. Lenses should be soaked overnight in a fresh contact lens case.
