Collection: Bausch & Lomb

Bausch & Lomb is one of the oldest companies in eye care, with roots dating back to 1853. The company began when J. J. Bausch opened a small optical goods store in Rochester, New York, and borrowed $60 from his friend Henry Lomb to help expand the business. What started as a small optical shop developed into an international eye care company. In 1971, Bausch & Lomb introduced SofLens, the first mass-produced soft contact lens in the United States.

At Netlens, the Bausch & Lomb range includes daily disposable and reusable monthly contact lenses for spherical vision correction, astigmatism and presbyopia, together with contact lens solutions for reusable lenses. Contact lens families available include Purevision, Soflens, Biotrue and Ultra.

Bausch & Lomb contact lenses at Netlens

Bausch & Lomb manufactures contact lenses with different replacement schedules, materials and optical designs. The Biotrue range includes daily disposable contact lenses, while Purevision consists of reusable monthly silicone hydrogel lenses. The Soflens range includes both daily disposable and reusable monthly lenses, while Ultra includes both daily disposable and monthly options.

The exact lens material, optical design, technology and approved wearing schedule vary between individual Bausch & Lomb products. Product specifications should therefore be checked for the specific lens rather than assumed to apply across the entire range.

Bausch & Lomb lenses for different vision needs

The Bausch & Lomb assortment at Netlens includes spherical contact lenses for short-sightedness and long-sightedness, together with toric lenses for astigmatism and multifocal lenses for presbyopia.

If you have astigmatism, explore our toric contact lenses. If you have presbyopia and need vision correction at more than one distance, see our multifocal contact lenses.

Daily and monthly Bausch & Lomb contact lenses

Bausch & Lomb offers both daily disposable contact lenses and monthly contact lenses. Daily disposable lenses are used for one day and discarded after removal, so they do not require cleaning or overnight storage.

Reusable monthly lenses are used according to the wearing schedule approved for the specific product and require appropriate lens care when they are removed between wears. Some Purevision and Ultra lenses may have approved extended or continuous wearing schedules, while other monthly lenses are intended to be removed before sleep. Overnight wear should only be followed when it is appropriate for the specific lens and has been recommended by your optician or eye care professional.

The Bausch & Lomb range at Netlens also includes products for cleaning, disinfecting and storing reusable soft contact lenses. Biotrue and Renu are multi-purpose contact lens solutions, while Easysept is a hydrogen peroxide-based lens care system.

These care systems have different instructions and neutralisation requirements and should always be used according to the directions for the individual product. You can explore our contact lens solutions to compare available lens care products.

Choosing and reordering Bausch & Lomb contact lenses

When reordering Bausch & Lomb contact lenses, use the same lens model and prescription parameters recommended for you by your optician or eye care professional. Depending on the lens type, these parameters can include power, base curve, diameter, cylinder, axis and addition.

Matching prescription values alone does not necessarily mean that one Bausch & Lomb contact lens can be substituted for another. Material, optical design, fit, replacement schedule and approved wearing schedule can vary between different products.
