Bausch+Lomb launches Ultra in US

Bausch+Lomb has begun the initial roll-out of its monthly Ultra contact lens in the US.

It said the new lens technology had been studied and developed for seven years and combined a ‘breakthrough’ material for comfort.

‘The level of excitement for this new technology among eye care professionals underscores the increasing need for a lens that breaks the cycle of discomfort and better addresses the demands of today’s contact lens user,’ said Joseph Barr, vice president medical affairs, pharmaceuticals and vision care at Bausch+Lomb.

‘With patients spending more than 10 hours each day using digital devices, we know that it is critical to surpass current standards for comfort, vision, and eye health.’
