Bausch + Lomb introduced its new Ultra monthly contact lens with MoistureSeal technology.

The company said in a press release that it has researched the technology for 7 years and introduced the contact lens to a group of 300 eye care professionals during a company-run educational initiative.

“The level of excitement for this new technology among eye care professionals underscores the increasing need for a lens that breaks the cycle of discomfort and better addresses the demands of today’s contact lens user,” Joseph Barr, OD, MS, FAAO, B+L vice president, medical affairs, pharmaceuticals & vision care, said in the release. “With patients spending more than 10 hours each day using digital devices, we know that it is critical to surpass current standards for comfort, vision and eye health.”

“The breakthrough MoistureSeal technology appears to offer an unmatched contact lens wearing experience, and I am excited to be one of the first to offer the new lenses to my patients," practitioner Keith Basinger, OD, said in the release.

The Bausch + Lomb Ultra contact lenses are now distributed in select markets with a national roll-out scheduled for the spring, according to the release.
