All About Bausch And Lomb Contact Lenses

When it comes to contact lenses there is one name that stands out above the rest, and that name is Bausch and Lomb. Bausch and Lomb contact lenses are considered to be the best around, and have been for a long time. When it comes to your vision, do you want the best or do you want to settle for something less?

The minds behind Bausch and Lomb contact lenses have developed a wide range of products for all of your contact lens needs. Whether you suffer from myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), presbyopia, astigmatism or aphakia, Bausch and Lomb has developed contact lenses that will specifically service your vision problems. They even have therapeutic contact lenses for use to aid you with your vision as your eyes heal.

Like most contact lenses, Bausch and Lomb contact lenses come in two basic varieties: soft and gas permeable. Soft contact lenses, as the name implies, are soft and malleable for extra comfort and ease of placement when wearing. They are also the cheaper of the two options.

Gas permeable contact lenses are a newer development in the world of contact lenses, combining the best of old-style hard contact lenses (which are for the most part no longer in use) and the comfort and ease of soft contact lenses. Like hard contact lenses they are more durable than the soft variety. However, unlike the old hard contact lenses they allow oxygen to transmit through the lens, allowing for your eyes to breathe while wearing your contacts.

So which is the choice for you? It depends on what you are looking for. If you want easy maintenance, then you will be most likely looking for a disposable soft lens. There are both daily and weekly disposable soft contact lenses. Dailies are contact lenses that you wear once then just throw away, and put on a new pair the next day. There is absolutely no cleaning required.

Weekly disposable soft contact lenses last for a week. When you take them off at night you need to put them into a special cleaning solution to keep them clean for the next day. At the end of the week you once again throw them away.

If you have permanent soft contact lenses, you will not only need to keep them in a special cleaning solution every night but you will also have to do a weekly enzyming. Because of the nature of the soft plastic used can become home to deposit buildups, you will need to wash them in an enzyme solution once a week.

Gas permeable contact lenses, because they are harder and more durable, resist deposit buildups thus require no weekly enzyming. However they do require daily cleaning just as soft contact lenses do.

When it comes to a cleaning solution for your contact lenses, Bausch and Lomb Contact Lenses ReNu Multiplus® Solution is the #1 selling cleaning solution on the market. There is good reason for this: it is the best product around selling at an affordable price. When it comes to cleaning your contact lenses you know that you want the best.
