Ultra for Presbyopia contact lenses are engineered to provide exceptional visual clarity and sustained hydration for wearers who require seamless transitions between near, intermediate, and distant focal points. As a premier choice for monthly multifocal contacts, these lenses are specifically designed to address the unique challenges of presbyopia, ensuring that whether you are viewing a digital screen or driving, your vision remains sharp and stable throughout the day.
How MoistureSeal Technology Enhances Bausch and Lomb Ultra Multifocal Performance
The Bausch and Lomb Ultra Multifocal range utilizes proprietary MoistureSeal Technology, a revolutionary manufacturing process that integrates a high volume of wetting agents into the core of the lens material. This creates a highly absorbent matrix capable of retaining 95% of its moisture for up to 16 consecutive hours. For those who spend significant time on computers or smartphones, this feature is critical, as it actively prevents the lens dehydration typically caused by reduced blink rates during digital device use.
Clinical Benefits of the 3-Zone Progressive Design
These presbyopia silicone hydrogel lenses feature a 3-Zone Progressive Design, which provides a consistent power profile across the entire lens. This sophisticated optical layout allows the eye to find the ideal focus naturally, eliminating the jarring "jumps" in vision often associated with traditional multifocal corrections. By combining this optical precision with the Samfilcon A material, which offers an extremely high oxygen transmissibility of 163 Dk/t, the lenses ensure that the eyes remain bright, white, and healthy-looking.
Who Should Consider Ultra for Presbyopia?
Optometrists frequently recommend Ultra for Presbyopia for patients who lead active, digitally-focused lifestyles. This lens is especially suitable for:
- Individuals with Presbyopia: Those who struggle to focus on close-up text while still requiring clear vision for distance.
- Heavy Digital Users: Patients who experience "end-of-day" dryness or blurred vision after prolonged screen time.
- Dry Eye Sufferers: Wearers with age-related tear film instability who need a lens that resists evaporation.
- Monthly Replacement Preference: Those looking for a durable, high-performance lens designed for a 30-day wear cycle.
Note: Suitability, fit, and replacement schedules must always be confirmed by your optometrist.

Common Questions About Ultra for Presbyopia
Can I sleep in Ultra for Presbyopia lenses?
Ultra for Presbyopia is clinically approved for extended wear, allowing for up to 7 days and 6 nights of continuous use if cleared by an eye care professional. However, most patients use them as daily wear lenses, removing and cleaning them each night. You must consult your optometrist before attempting to sleep in these lenses to ensure your eyes can safely handle overnight wear.
How does Ultra for Presbyopia compare to Biotrue for Presbyopia?
While both options provide excellent multifocal correction, Ultra for Presbyopia is a monthly replacement silicone hydrogel lens designed for long-term durability and high oxygen flow. In contrast, Biotrue for Presbyopia is a daily disposable lens made from a HyperGel material, intended for single-day use and maximum convenience without the need for cleaning routines.
Is Ultra for Presbyopia suitable for those with dry eyes?
Yes, this lens is highly effective for patients experiencing dryness. The MoistureSeal Technology ensures the lens remains soft and hydrated by locking in moisture at the molecular level. This reduces friction between the eyelid and the lens, providing a comfortable wearing experience for those who find standard lenses irritating by the afternoon.
What is the best way to maintain Ultra for Presbyopia lenses?
To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your monthly lenses, they should be cleaned daily with a premium solution like Optifree Pure Moist. Store them overnight in a fresh contact lens case with disinfecting solution to remove protein deposits and surface debris.
