Ultra contact lenses

1853 saw the birth of the Bausch & Lomb brand in Rochester, New York. That year, Jacob Bausch teamed up with his friend Henry Lomb, borrowing sixty dollars to expand the optical store where he was employed. What followed is well known: the two founded Bausch & Lomb Laboratories, today's world leader in optics.

Thanks to their dedication, exemplary workmanship and industrially precise technological standards and innovations, the Bausch & Lomb brand offers outstanding medical devices for the visually impaired. For almost 170 years, Bausch & Lomb has produced numerous patents, binoculars, microscopes and lenses for high-precision optics, such as those used by the satellites that scan our space.

Bausch & Lomb is best known for its RAY BAN sunglasses in the shape of a teardrop, which were used by US Army pilots in 1940. Today, the AVIATOR frame is still at the cutting edge of fashion. Bausch & Lomb laboratories obtained marketing authorization for their contact lenses in 1971.

ULTRA lenses, revolutionary contact lenses

Last year, Bausch & Lomb launched ULTRA contact lenses, a new spherical contact lens made of silicone hydrogel that is replaced monthly. These new contact lenses are specially designed to meet the needs of new-generation contact lens wearers. Patients who spend more than ten hours a day in front of computer or smartphone screens need their corneas to be more intensely wettable. The new Bausch & Lomb ULTRA contact lenses are the answer.

ULTRA lenses feature the latest MoistureSeal technology. They offer wearers comfort, even at the end of the day, and optimal eye hydration. ULTRA is a monthly lens with the ability to retain water and mix with your tears.

With your ULTRA contact lens, you'll be able to enjoy clear, high-quality vision in both bright light and low light. Its unique construction prevents it from clogging for the entire month you use it. Your eye care professional will guide you in your choice of contact lenses. His advice is invaluable.

A few hygiene precautions to take

Contact lenses are medical devices, so don't take them lightly. Before handling them, it's important to wash your hands. Products and lotions have been developed to help you care for your contact lenses. Your qualified optician will be happy to advise you. Avoid rinsing your lenses with tap water or saliva, as this can lead to serious eye infections and blindness.
