Bausch + Lomb INFUSE

Updated: Apr 29, 2020

Bausch + Lomb INFUSE is a new daily disposable silicone hydrogel soft contact lens developed by Bausch + Lomb. The product is available to eye care practitioners since August 2020.

Highlights

This cast-molded lens is made with a new silicone hydrogel material called Kalifilcon A.
It features UV blocking with Class 2 UV blocking capabilities.
The water content is greater than 50% which - based on the FDA classification system - makes this lens a V-B class lens. V-B stands for the group of silicone hydrophilic soft contact lenses that are non-ionic and have a greater than 50% water content.
As INFUSE goes up against the best-in-class daily silicone hydrogel lenses from its competitors Johnson and Johnson, Alcon, and CooperVision, Bausch + Lomb equipped this lens with high oxygen transmission capabilities and a 134 Dk/t value.
A 'High Definition Optics' lens design reduces induced spherical aberration and improves visual performance.
To address contact lens dryness and discomfort, Bausch Health introduced a new hydration technology called ProBalance Technology™. This first-of-its-kind technology provides a combination of two wetting agents (Poloxamine 1107 and Poloxamer 181), special osmoprotecting ingredients (Erythritol and Glycerin) and potassium (one of the electrolytes found in the tear film).

Other Names

In Canada and Australia this product was approved under the name Bausch+Lomb ULTRA ONE DAY. Furthermore, the trademarked name ProBalance Technology got replaced with Advanced MoistureSeal Technology + ComfortFeel Technology. You might be aware that Bausch and Lomb also use the name ULTRA for one of their monthly disposable contact lenses. It's very important to note that Bausch+Lomb ULTRA monthly disposable contact lenses and the Bausch+Lomb ULTRA ONE DAY disposable contact lenses are completely different products. They have different materials, different technologies, different parameters, and different optics. In short: They are not the same lens. So if you live in Canada or Australia or any other country where INFUSE is sold as Bausch-Lomb ULTRA ONE DAY, it's important to understand that this lens is not the same as the ULTRA monthly disposable lens.

Where to buy Bausch + Lomb INFUSE

Once it is a go, you can buy or reorder through your eye care practitioner. Don't forget to ask your eye care professional whether Bausch + Lomb is offering a manufacturer rebate.
