Frequently Asked Questions

Are Bausch & Lomb contact lenses FDA approved?

Yes, all Bausch & Lomb contact lenses sold in the United States are FDA approved medical devices. Each lens design undergoes rigorous clinical testing to demonstrate safety and effectiveness before receiving clearance. The company maintains strict quality control standards at their manufacturing facilities to ensure every lens meets regulatory requirements.

What is MoistureSeal technology in Bausch & Lomb Ultra lenses?

MoistureSeal is a proprietary technology used in the Ultra family of contact lenses that maintains 95% of lens moisture for a full 16 hours. This is achieved through the lens material's ability to retain water molecules throughout the day, reducing dryness and maintaining comfort from morning insertion to evening removal. The technology works in combination with the silicone hydrogel material (samfilcon A) to provide both moisture retention and high oxygen permeability.

Can I wear Bausch & Lomb contact lenses if I have astigmatism?

Absolutely. Bausch & Lomb offers toric lenses specifically designed to correct astigmatism across multiple wearing schedules. Options include Biotrue ONEday Toric and SofLens Daily Disposable Toric for daily wear, SofLens 66 Toric for bi-weekly replacement, and Ultra Toric and PureVision 2 Toric for monthly wear. These lenses feature stabilization designs that keep the lens properly oriented on your eye to provide clear, stable vision. There's even an Ultra Multifocal Toric for people who have both astigmatism and presbyopia.

How do I know which Bausch & Lomb lens is right for me?

The best lens for you depends on your prescription, eye health, lifestyle, and personal preferences. Daily disposables like Biotrue ONEday are ideal if you want maximum convenience and don't want to clean lenses. Monthly lenses like Ultra or PureVision 2 offer excellent value if you're comfortable with a care routine. If you have astigmatism, you'll need a toric design; if you're over 40 and struggling with near vision, consider multifocal or presbyopia-specific lenses. Always consult with your eye care professional, who can evaluate your eyes and recommend the most appropriate option based on your individual needs.

Do I need a prescription to buy Bausch & Lomb contact lenses?

Yes, contact lenses are medical devices that require a valid prescription from a licensed eye care professional. Your prescription will specify the lens brand, base curve, diameter, power, and other parameters specific to your eyes. Even if you're reordering the same lenses you've worn before, U.S. law requires a current prescription (typically valid for one year). This ensures your eyes remain healthy and your vision correction stays accurate.

How should I care for my Bausch & Lomb monthly or bi-weekly lenses?

For reusable lenses like Ultra, PureVision, or SofLens bi-weekly lenses, clean and disinfect them daily using a multipurpose contact lens solution recommended by your eye care provider. Rub each lens gently with solution, rinse thoroughly, and store in a clean case filled with fresh solution overnight. Replace your lens case every three months. Never use tap water, saliva, or expired solution. Daily disposable lenses require no cleaning—simply discard them after each use. Always wash your hands before handling any contact lenses.
