BAUSCH + LOMB
Infuse for Astigmatism
Bausch + Lomb (B + L) introduces Infuse for Astigmatism daily disposable contact lenses in the U.S.
The lenses feature material infused with ProBalance Technology, engineered to deliver clear, stable vision across the power range while minimizing dryness, shares B + L. Additionally, the company’s proprietary OpticAlign thin-edge design stabilizes the lenses with the eye’s natural blink, minimizes lid interaction, and utilizes a stabilization feature in the lower hemisphere.
Infuse for Astigmatism combines osmoprotectants, electrolytes, and moisturizers that are released throughout the 16-hour wearing experience to benefit comfort and eye health, according to the company. The lens material, kalifilcon A, delivers 55% moisture, high breathability (107 Dk/t), and low modulus, shares B + L, while reducing spherical aberration, halos, and glare, even in low-light conditions.
The daily disposable toric lenses are available with -2.25 and -2.75 cylinders in a fit set.
