At a meeting of the American Academy of Optometry, Bausch + Lomb announced the launch of PureVision2 for Astigmatism with High Definition Optics contact lenses.
The new lenses have HD optics, which – according to the company – result in improved clarity and meeting the special needs of patients who suffer from astigmatism. In addition, as Bausch + Lomb informs, PureVision2 HD for Astigmatism contact lenses incorporate Auto Align Design, which is a stabilisation system developed to provide extremely clear vision throughout the day as well as remarkable comfort and stability. What is more, the lenses are characterised by an optimised thickness profile, which further increases their stability, and a large lens diameter, which allows more effective ballasting and enhanced centration.
Another advantage of PureVision2 HD for Astigmatism lenses is that they decrease spherical aberration, which translates into reduced halos and glare when they are used in low light. Finally, Bausch + Lomb boasts that the new lenses have excellent oxygen permeability, leading to very good comfort all day long.
