Bausch & Lomb Contact Lenses

Bausch & Lomb contact lenses

Bausch & Lomb contact lenses are part of one of the most established and recognised brands in the market worldwide. Their origins date back to John Jacob Bausch and Henry Lomb, of Central European origin, who founded Bausch & Lomb in 1853 in Rochester, New York.

Bausch & Lomb contact lenses, lenses with history

For more than a century, the American contact lens company Bausch & Lomb has been linked to optical innovation: rubber glasses, precision optical instruments for military use, lenses for photography and cinema cameras, and the famous Aviator glasses from 1937, designed for fighter pilots, are all contributions from B&L. In 1953, the company received an Oscar for its Cinemascope lens, but it was in 1971 when Bausch & Lomb popularised the first soft contact lenses for mass use worldwide.

With Bausch & Lomb’s leadership in contactology, manufacturing processes using moulding and serial turning were improved. This progress allowed the new soft toric contact lenses, in addition to becoming a quality benchmark in the sector, to become popular at levels never seen before thanks to their affordable prices.

The main innovation from this contact lens manufacturer has been the use of AerGel, a system that promotes natural oxygenation levels for the eyes and makes the lenses more resistant to protein build-up.

Contact lenses for every visual condition

Bausch & Lomb contact lenses correct different visual problems and the most common alterations.

Myopia, perhaps the most common visual defect, poor distance vision affects 25% of the Spanish population.

Hyperopia, mainly affects near vision and can cause headaches and itchy eyes.

Astigmatism. Distortion when seeing both far and near.

According to users’ needs, manufacturer Bausch & Lomb has developed different contact lens brands:
