Introducing Bausch + Lomb ULTRA for Astigmatism

_{Did you know that hours spent looking at electronic screens can cause dryness due to infrequent blinking? Bausch + Lomb ULTRA for Astigmatism contact lenses were designed with sustained digital device usage in mind. They combine MoistureSeal technology and OpticAlign Design to deliver consistently clear vision, stability, and all-day comfort.}

_{The key innovation with Bausch + Lomb ULTRA contact lens is the MoistureSeal technology, which represents a significant achievement in integrating the material with a two-phase polymerisation process to retain moisture and provide a smooth optical surface to help prevent dehydration blur.}

_{The first phase of the MoistureSeal technology begins with the polymerisation of the long and short chain silicone polymers to form a flexible silicone matrix, results in high oxygen transmission to promote eye health and low modulus for comfort contact lens wear.}

​

​

​

​

The second phase of the polymerisation process involves the time-delayed addition of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). PVP is an internal wetting agent, which permanently entangles throughout the silicone matrix. 

_{The water-loving polymer PVP is grown permanently around the silicone matrix in order to “hide” the hydrophobic silicone and to hold water throughout the bulk and at the surface of the lens.}

_{The PVP in Bausch + Lomb Ultra contact lenses brings high water and wettability everywhere on the lens and not just at its surface. MoistureSeal technology also helps Bausch + Lomb Ultra contact lenses retain 95% lens moisture for a full 16 hours.}

Multiple Choice

MoistureSeal Technology helps Bausch + Lomb ULTRA contact lenses maintain 95% moisture for how long?

• 16 SECONDS

• 16 HOURS

_{Did you know the motion of the eyelids during blinking can affect stability of the potion of toric lens and cause lens rotation? This can result in fluctuating vision. The ability of a lens to return to its primary gaze orientation following rotation is a major consideration when wearing toric lenses.}

_{With that, Bausch + Lomb ULTRA for Astigmatism incorporates OpticAlign design, which the lens is designed to stabilize with the eye’s natural blink movement, featuring a ballasting profile, with a thinner superior region progressing into a thicker inferior region on the anterior surface of the lens. This enables stabilisation to be achieved.}

_{Results from a clinical study, slit-lamp examination revealed that the rotational stability of ULTRA for Astigmatism lens was rated excellent by eye care professionals as the lens rotates less than 5º in 94.3% of the cases.}

Multiple Choice

Bausch + Lomb ULTRA for Astigmatism features ________ design to achieve lens stabilization.

• OpticAlign

• Dual Thin Zones

_{On top of that, ULTRA for Astigmatism is also designed with HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS to minimize spherical aberration to help reduce halos and glare, even in low light.}

_{Spherical aberration is the inability of the eye to focus light rays passing simultaneously through the centre and the periphery of the eye. The retinal image appears blurred because the peripheral light rays are focused anterior to the retina. Spherical aberration can be a barrier to high-quality vision in low light, resulting in blurred vision, glare and halos.}

_{ULTRA for Astigmatism incorporates spherical aberration control optimized in both axes to help reduce halos and glare. The back surface of ULTRA of Astigmatism has a toric geometry which promises complementary matching with the astigmatic curvature of the patient’s cornea.}

_{This helps to reduce the positive spherical aberration that is naturally occurring in the human eye to minimise halos and glare and bring all of the light rays to the same focal point to create clear, crisp vision all day – especially in low light. As a results, 93% of patients agreed that the contact lens can help reduce halos and glare, even in low light conditions.}

Multiple Choice

What is the benefit of featuring HD (High Definition) Optics in Bausch + Lomb ULTRA for Astigmatism?

• Reduce halos and glare

• Enhance tear film stability

_{The lens also has two guide marks on the lens periphery. The longer line on the lens is the orientation mark, which is intended to provide eye care practitioners with the ability to measure the orientation and evaluate rotational stability of the lens. This mark should optimally be resting at, or near, the 6 o’clock position when the lens is being worn.}

_{The shorter mark denotes the angle of the cylindrical power and can vary in position between 10° to 180°. This allows eye care practitioners to determine the axes of the cylindrical power.}

_{ULTRA for Astigmatism is proven to be very stable on the eye and can deliver comfort and consistently clear vision to astigmatic patients throughout the day, reported by ECPs.}

With -2.75 cylinder power as a standard offering, eye care professionals can offer patients a broad range of parameters from +6 diopter to -9 Diopter, with 4 cylinders power and axes of 10° to 180° (in 10° steps) of astigmatism correction.

_{In a nutshell, NEW Bausch + Lomb ULTRA for Astigmatism contact lenses combine MoistureSeal technology, which helps to maintain 95% of lens moisture for a full 16 hours, and OpticAlign design, engineered for stability to promote a successful first fit.}
