Bausch & Lomb: What’s old, that’s quality

Bausch & Lomb: What’s old, that’s quality There’s a saying, that old things mean quality. That is surely true for Bausch and Lomb. This company is the oldest in the field of contact lenses, bringing always the best in eye health.

The company was established in 1853, so it can say some thing about age. Since it’s founding, the company has been concerned with eye health, making contact lenses for correcting the sight of those people who have eye health and vision problems. Because these lenses are not made for common use, they are usually prescription lenses. This means, that before you can wear a lens from Bausch & Lomb, you will require a consultation by an eye care professional.

There are five important eye health concerns that Bausch & Lomb can deal with.

The top place on the list of concerns is occupied by presbyopia. This is a natural occurrence that presents itself with aging. It means, that the crystalline lens of the eye, what is normally soft and flexible, becomes harder and less elastic. The results are that the eye cannot focus properly, the incoming light from near objects, so reading becomes blurred. Bausch & Lomb has two solutions for this problem: PureVision Multi-focal and Softlens Multi-focal contact lenses. These lenses have the world’s number one selling multifocal design. They need however your optometrists advice on how and how long to wear them.

Next to presbyopia is astigmatism. This problem consists in a distorted picture at both near and far vision, because some of the light rays passing into the eye, are not focused correctly. Solutions include; wearing glasses, laser surgery, or simply the wearing of Bausch and Lomb Purevision Toric contact lenses. These lenses are used to help your eye focus the incoming light rays, correctly.

Third is nearsightedness or myopia. This means that people with this problem can see close objects well, but things at a distance are distorted. The cause is the unusually long shape of the eye. A lot of adults suffer from this problem and a pair of Purevision contacts, is one solution.

Allergies can affect your eyes. They can become itchy, red, watery and they can even become inflamed. This occurs, when your body meets an allergen and produces histamine, and this can affect the eye. Some people avoid this situation by simply staying inside. Others use Bausch & Lomb eye drops to fight the problem. Such drops are the Alaway Antihistamine eye drops and the Opcon-A Itching and Redness Reliever eye drops.

The last eye problem is macular degeneration. This is responsible for most legal blindness cases in the USA. Macular degeneration occurs when the macula has degenerated. This part of the eye gives us sharp, fine, straight-ahead vision. If it degenerates, we loose this vision. Bausch & Lomb offer PreserVision Eye Vitamin AREDS Soft Gel formula for macular degeneration.
