Purevision Multifocal contact lenses provide wearers with a clear, seamless transition across all distances, making them a reliable choice for managing presbyopia while maintaining ocular health. As a monthly silicone hydrogel multifocal option, these lenses are engineered for high breathability, allowing significant oxygen flow to reach the cornea for extended comfort throughout the day.
Please Note: Purevision Multifocal is a legacy brand now made to order by Bausch + Lomb. Due to this specialised manufacturing process, please allow 3 to 8 weeks for your lenses to be produced and dispatched.
Enhancing Visual Clarity with AerGel™ Technology
The Bausch and Lomb multifocal design utilizes a unique Balafilcon A material, which balances moisture retention with high oxygen transmissibility. This allows the eyes to remain white and clear even during long days of wear. The integrated AerGel™ Technology ensures that the 36% water content matrix works in harmony with the silicone hydrogel to provide a constant flow of oxygen (112 Dk/t), supporting overall corneal health.
Furthermore, the Performa™ Surface Treatment creates a smooth, hydrophilic surface. This clinical feature is designed to repel protein deposits and lipids, which can often accumulate on the lens surface and cause blurry vision over a 30-day wear cycle. By choosing to buy contact lenses online that feature these specialized treatments, patients can enjoy consistent clarity and a reduced risk of irritation.
Who Should Consider Purevision Multifocal?
These presbyopia lenses are specifically designed for individuals who require correction for age-related near-vision loss. Patients often find these lenses suitable if they:
- Require sharp vision for near, intermediate, and distance focal points without the need for reading glasses.
- Have been clinically approved by an optometrist for extended wear schedules of up to 30 days.
- Seek a highly breathable silicone hydrogel multifocal to prevent red or tired eyes during prolonged use.
- Are comfortable with a longer manufacturing lead time to maintain their established legacy prescription.
Note: Suitability, fit, and replacement schedules must always be confirmed by your optometrist.

Common Questions About Purevision Multifocal
Can I sleep in Purevision Multifocal contact lenses?
Purevision Multifocal is officially approved for continuous wear for up to 30 days. However, you must only sleep in your lenses if your optometrist has performed a specific clinical assessment and confirmed that your eyes are suitable for an overnight schedule. Sleeping in lenses without professional guidance can significantly increase the risk of serious corneal infections.
Why is there a 3 to 8-week delay for Purevision Multifocal?
As Bausch + Lomb has introduced more advanced optical designs, Purevision Multifocal has transitioned into a legacy product category. These lenses are no longer kept in standard stock and are manufactured individually to match your specific prescription requirements. This custom production cycle requires an extended period for manufacturing and quality control before the lenses are dispatched.
How does Purevision Multifocal compare to Bausch + Lomb ULTRA for Presbyopia?
While Purevision Multifocal remains a trusted legacy option, Bausch + Lomb ULTRA for Presbyopia represents a more modern advancement in contact lenses for presbyopia. Featuring MoistureSeal™ technology and a 3-Zone Progressive™ design, the ULTRA variant provides higher moisture retention and enhanced oxygen flow. It is frequently recommended for patients who find their current lenses feel dry toward the end of the day and is typically available for immediate shipping.
