Discover Bausch + Lomb contact lenses at Konstantin — a 170-year heritage of eye-health innovation engineered into a complete soft-lens portfolio for NYC wearers. From the Biotrue ONEday daily disposable with naturally inspired moisture chemistry, to the silicone hydrogel ULTRA family with MoistureSeal Technology, to the INFUSE platform built for long-wear comfort, our curated Bausch + Lomb selection covers spherical, toric, multifocal, and presbyopia prescriptions.
Fit professionally by our licensed opticians for the kind of all-day clarity demanding NYC routines require.
The Bausch + Lomb Biotrue ONEday daily disposable is engineered around HyperGel, a material designed to mirror the natural composition of the tear film and retain nearly 100% of its moisture for up to 16 hours. For NYC wearers juggling early commutes, screen-heavy workdays, and dry indoor environments, that translates to sustained comfort without the late-day fog familiar to wearers of older daily disposables. At Konstantin, as an authorized Bausch + Lomb retailer, we stock Biotrue ONEday in spherical prescriptions, Biotrue ONEday for Astigmatism with Auto Align Design for stable toric correction, and Biotrue ONEday for Presbyopia with 3-Zone Progressive optics for smooth near-to-distance transitions.
Bausch + Lomb has been an American eye-health pioneer since 1853, when John Jacob Bausch and Henry Lomb began making vulcanite rubber spectacle frames in Rochester, NY. Over the next century the company introduced the first U.S. soft contact lenses (SofLens, 1971), pioneered the original Ray-Ban Aviator commissioned for U.S. military pilots, and developed many of the technologies that define modern contact-lens care.
Today Bausch + Lomb is a global eye-health leader whose contact lens portfolio competes at the front of every category — silicone hydrogel reusables (ULTRA), naturally inspired dailies (Biotrue ONEday), specialty designs for astigmatism and presbyopia, and the more recent INFUSE silicone hydrogel daily with ProBalance Technology that helps maintain ocular-surface health throughout the day. At Konstantin, our licensed opticians use Bausch + Lomb’s full prescription matrix to match patients with the right material, water content, base curve, and replacement schedule for genuinely sustainable wear.
The INFUSE silicone hydrogel daily disposable from Bausch + Lomb pairs high oxygen transmissibility with ProBalance Technology — a tear-film-compatible formulation that helps lenses feel comfortable from morning to evening without the dehydration tradeoffs traditional dailies are known for. INFUSE Multifocal extends the same comfort profile to presbyopia using a 3-Zone Progressive design. The PureVision and PureVision 2 monthly silicone hydrogel platforms deliver high-definition optics through Optical Aberration Reduction technology, with PureVision 2 for Presbyopia tuned specifically for the age-related visual changes that emerge in the 40s and 50s.
SofLens — the original American soft contact lens family — remains one of the most reliable hydrogel platforms in clinical use. SofLens daily disposable provides a fresh lens every day for occasional wearers and patients with allergy sensitivities, while SofLens 38 and SofLens 59 cover monthly replacement schedules in clear, comfortable optics. SofLens Multi-Focal delivers seamless near-to-far vision for presbyopia, and SofLens Toric uses a Lo-Torque Design with a contoured profile to keep astigmatic prescriptions oriented correctly through blinks and active wear.
What sets Bausch + Lomb apart in the contact lens category is the breadth of platforms under one R&D roof — hydrogel, silicone hydrogel, HyperGel, and the company’s proprietary ProBalance formulation. Most lens manufacturers anchor on one material chemistry; Bausch + Lomb maintains parallel platforms because no single material is ideal for every cornea, tear film, and wear schedule.
Practically, that gives our optical team meaningful options. If a patient experiences late-day dryness in a competing silicone hydrogel, we can offer the HyperGel-based Biotrue ONEday. If a patient needs a daily silicone hydrogel for sensitive eyes, INFUSE with ProBalance is in the lineup. If monthly replacement is the priority, ULTRA or PureVision 2 are both options. At Konstantin, our licensed opticians match the platform to the patient, not the other way around — a level of personalization built into our practice for 25+ years.
Bausch + Lomb ULTRA is a silicone hydrogel monthly reusable engineered around MoistureSeal Technology, a proprietary process that allows the lens to retain up to 95% of its moisture across a full 16-hour day. For NYC professionals who routinely log long hours on screens, in air-conditioned offices, or in cold winter air, that sustained hydration is the practical difference between contacts you forget you’re wearing and contacts you can’t wait to remove. The ULTRA platform extends across ULTRA for Astigmatism, ULTRA Multifocal, and ULTRA Multifocal for Astigmatism — covering virtually every common prescription combination in a single material family.
Beyond moisture retention, ULTRA delivers high oxygen transmissibility, keeping the cornea well-oxygenated even during full waking-hour wear. Toric prescriptions use OpticAlign Design — a thin profile and stabilization geometry that resists rotation during normal blinking and head movement, so astigmatic correction stays consistent. Bausch + Lomb’s century-plus of optical R&D continues to advance the category, and at Konstantin we curate the lineup so you can compare options side-by-side with a licensed optician rather than guess from a label.
A modern contact lens fitting at Konstantin starts with measured data — corneal topography, tear-film stability, base curve, diameter, and lifestyle inputs — and ends with a prescription tuned to how you actually live, not just the digits on your refraction. For Bausch + Lomb wearers, that often means trialing two materials side-by-side: a HyperGel daily versus a silicone hydrogel reusable, or a monthly ULTRA versus a daily INFUSE, to find the platform your eyes prefer.
We also walk through wear-schedule mechanics — when to replace, when to switch to backup glasses, how to manage solutions and cases, what to do if a lens loses comfort mid-day. The goal isn’t selling lenses; it’s setting up a sustainable, low-friction wear routine you can run on for years. Backed by Konstantin’s 25+ years of optical experience, our six-month prescription guarantee, and the kind of unhurried, no-pressure consultation generations of New Yorkers have relied on, your Bausch + Lomb fitting is built to last beyond the first prescription cycle.
