Why Do Eye Doctors Recommend Bausch & Lomb Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses?

Bausch & Lomb silicone hydrogel contact lenses use silicone hydrogel material, which allows oxygen to pass through the lens itself rather than relying on water content to carry oxygen to the cornea. Traditional hydrogel lenses depend on water to transport oxygen, which means the cornea receives less oxygen as the lens dries out throughout the day.

Silicone hydrogel lenses allow up to five times more oxygen to reach the cornea compared to standard hydrogel lenses, which is why eye doctors frequently recommend them for wearers who spend long hours in contacts. All lenses in the Bausch & Lomb silicone hydrogel lineup are built on this material, making them a healthier option for the cornea during long daily wear periods.

Do Bausch & Lomb Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses Require a Prescription?

Bausch & Lomb silicone hydrogel contact lenses are prescription medical devices and require a valid prescription before you order. If it has been a while since your last eye exam, you can use our online vision test to see whether your current prescription is still accurate. It is not a replacement for a comprehensive eye exam, but it can help you confirm whether your prescription is still current before placing your order.
