Ultra for Astigmatism by Bausch + Lomb offers exceptional visual stability and long-lasting moisture for those requiring consistent correction of astigmatic vision.
Stabilising Vision with Bausch and Lomb Ultra Toric Technology
These monthly astigmatism lenses are specifically engineered to meet the demands of modern lifestyles, where prolonged digital screen use often leads to ocular dryness and fluctuating clarity. By utilising a high-performance silicone hydrogel material, the lenses maintain significant levels of hydration while ensuring the correction remains perfectly oriented on the eye.
MoistureSeal Engineering in Silicone Hydrogel Toric Contacts
- MoistureSeal Technology: This proprietary manufacturing process integrates a high concentration of water-loving molecules into the Samfilcon A material. This allows the lens to retain 95% of its moisture for up to 16 hours, effectively resisting dehydration caused by reduced blink rates during computer use.
- OpticAlign Design: To provide crisp and reliable vision, these lenses feature a physical stabilisation system that works in harmony with the eyelids. This design prevents lens rotation during rapid eye movements or head tilts, ensuring astigmatism correction stays precisely where it is needed.
- High-Definition Optics: The aspheric optical surface is designed to reduce spherical aberration. Patients often report clearer vision with significantly reduced halos, glare, and starbursts, which is particularly beneficial when driving at night or working in low-light environments.
- High Oxygen Permeability: With an oxygen transmissibility of 114 Dk/t, these lenses support excellent corneal health. The advanced material allows ample oxygen to reach the eye, helping to maintain a white and healthy appearance even during long wearing days.
Who Should Consider Ultra for Astigmatism?
Optometrists frequently recommend these lenses for patients who lead active or digitally-focused lives. They are an ideal choice if you:
- Have been diagnosed with astigmatism and require a lens that remains stable and blur-free.
- Spend several hours a day using smartphones, tablets, or computers and experience "digital eye strain."
- Prefer the convenience and structured hygiene of a monthly replacement schedule.
- Require highly breathable silicone hydrogel toric contacts to maintain all-day comfort.
Note: Suitability, fit, and replacement schedules must always be confirmed by your optometrist.

Common Questions About Ultra for Astigmatism
Is it safe to sleep in Ultra for Astigmatism lenses?
Ultra for Astigmatism is clinically approved for up to seven days and six nights of continuous extended wear. However, you must only sleep in your lenses if your optometrist has explicitly examined your eyes and approved an overnight wearing schedule.
What is the difference between Ultra for Astigmatism and Biotrue ONEday for Astigmatism?
Ultra for Astigmatism is a monthly replacement lens made from silicone hydrogel, providing extreme breathability and 16-hour moisture retention for reusable wear. Conversely, Biotrue ONEday for Astigmatism is a daily disposable lens designed for single-use convenience, which may be a better option for those who prefer not to perform nightly cleaning and storage.
Why is Ultra for Astigmatism effective for digital device users?
When you buy contact lenses online for use with digital screens, moisture retention is paramount. Because blinking frequency decreases during screen time, standard lenses can dry out. The MoistureSeal Technology in Ultra for Astigmatism actively binds water within the lens matrix, preventing the friction and dehydration that often lead to discomfort during long hours of computer work.
