Bausch + Lomb Ultra contact lenses are advanced monthly silicone hydrogel lenses designed to provide exceptional vision and comfort, particularly for those with demanding digital lifestyles. These lenses effectively correct myopia (short-sightedness) and hyperopia (long-sightedness) while ensuring the eyes stay hydrated throughout the day.
How Does MoistureSeal Technology Benefit Digital Device Users?
Modern screen use often leads to a reduced blink rate, which can cause standard lenses to dry out and become uncomfortable. Ultra contact lenses address this issue through proprietary MoistureSeal Technology. This unique manufacturing process integrates a high concentration of moisture-retaining molecules into the lens material, allowing the lens to maintain 95% of its hydration for up to 16 hours. This sustained moisture level is highly beneficial for patients who frequently experience end-of-day dryness.
Exceptional Breathability with Samfilcon A Material
Healthier-looking eyes depend on a consistent supply of oxygen. Ultra utilizes Samfilcon A, a premium silicone hydrogel polymer that offers an extremely high oxygen transmissibility (163 Dk/t).
Key clinical features include:
- Excellent Oxygen Flow: Promotes bright, white, and healthy-looking eyes even during extended wear periods.
- Optimized Water Content: A 46% water composition ensures a soft, flexible fit that remains comfortable from morning until night.
- Reduced Surface Deposits: The material is engineered to resist lipid and protein build-up, maintaining clarity over the full monthly replacement cycle.
Enhanced Visual Performance with High-Definition Optics
Beyond comfort, Bausch + Lomb Ultra focuses on visual precision. The lenses feature an aspheric High-Definition Optics design, which is specifically engineered to reduce spherical aberration across the entire visual field. This clinical refinement helps to minimize halos and glare, providing crisp, clear vision even in low-light environments or while driving at night.

Common Questions About Bausch + Lomb Ultra
What is the recommended replacement schedule for Bausch + Lomb Ultra contact lenses?
Bausch + Lomb Ultra are designed as monthly replacement lenses, meaning they should be removed, cleaned, and stored each night for up to 30 days. While they are clinically approved for up to 7 days and 6 nights of continuous extended wear, this schedule must be specifically assessed and confirmed by an optometrist to ensure it is safe for your individual eye health.
Are there options for patients who require correction for astigmatism or presbyopia?
Yes, the Ultra family includes specialized designs for various refractive errors. Patients with presbyopia may benefit from Ultra for Presbyopia, while those with astigmatism are typically prescribed Ultra for Astigmatism.
Which solutions are best for cleaning Bausch + Lomb Ultra contact lenses?
To maintain the integrity of the Samfilcon A material, it is important to use a high-quality multi-purpose solution. Optometrists frequently recommend Optifree Pure Moist to effectively remove daily deposits and maintain surface moisture. Always store the lenses in a fresh contact lens case to prevent contamination.
