Bausch + Lomb announced FDA approval of the Bausch + Lomb Ultra family of contact lenses for extended wear of up to 6 nights and 7 days of continuous wear.

Bausch + Lomb Ultra uses MoistureSeal technology, a patented combination of material and manufacturing process that helps maintain 95% of lens moisture for 16 hours, according to a press release from the company.

The family of contact lenses features polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) for enhanced wettability, a high Dk/t (163) and low modulus (70). The lenses are also available for patients with astigmatism and presbyopia.
