Bausch + Lomb Introduces Multifocal Silicone Hydrogel Daily Disposable Contact Lenses

Bausch + Lomb has introduced Infuse Multifocal, silicone hydrogel daily disposable contact lenses designed to address the needs of patients with presbyopia.

According to the company, Infuse Multifocal delivers clear vision with seamless transitions across near, intermediate, and distance vision while minimizing contact lens dryness, which nearly 70% of multifocal contact lens wearers report experiencing during lens wear.

The silicone hydrogel daily disposable lens material kalifilcon A enables breathability with a low modulus and high moisture, Bausch + Lomb shares, allowing the lens to maintain 96% of its moisture for 16 hours. Bausch + Lomb’s ProBalance Technology is infused into the lens material—it releases a combination of ingredients (informed by the Tear Film & Ocular Surface Society’s DEWS II report) during lens wear that support maintaining ocular surface homeostasis and prevent dryness, according to the company.

Users can recycle their used contact lens materials—including Infuse Multifocal lenses, blister packs, and top foils, through Bausch + Lomb’s One by One recycling program.

Bausch + Lomb Releases Preservative-Free Contact Lens Rehydrating Drops

Bausch + Lomb has released Biotrue Hydration Boost for Contacts, preservative-free rehydrating drops designed to lubricate and rewet soft contact lenses, including daily disposables and rigid GPs.

Bausch + Lomb shares that BioTrue Hydration Boost drops contain a combination of naturally inspired ingredients informed by the Tear Film & Ocular Surface Society’s DEWS II report, including hyaluronan (HA), a moisturizer found naturally in tears; electrolytes, a component of natural tears; and an antioxidant, which protects HA against free radicals. Additionally, the drops include a surfactant to help prevent deposit buildup on lenses while matching the pH of healthy tears to avoid discomfort, according to the company.

Users can properly recycle Biotrue Hydration Boost for Contacts bottles—in addition to all brands of eye drop single-dose units, lens cases, and lens solution caps—through Bausch + Lomb’s Biotrue Eye Care Recycling program, a collaboration with TerraCycle.
