Bausch & Lomb entered the Chinese market in the 80s of the last century, and Bausch & Lomb became synonymous with contact lenses at that time, but in recent years, the old owner has changed hands, and frequent recalls of contact lens care solutions have greatly reduced Bausch & Lomb's image and fallen to the end of the first echelon.
In 2007, Bausch & Lomb announced a recall of 12 batches of Runming Protein Removal Solution, which was manufactured in March 2006 at its Greenville plant in the United States. The reason is that the iron content of these 12 batches is slightly higher, which may cause discoloration of the treatment solution and may shorten the shelf life of the product.
However, it is undeniable that Bausch & Lomb is the brand that best meets the needs of Chinese consumers, with affordable prices and a rich product line, including the latest silicone hydrogel lenses, traditional hydrogel products and outstanding performance, and the launch of "super hydrogel" lenses with an oxygen permeability coefficient of 42DK, and color contact lenses, which are the most abundant styles and types among the four giants. In addition, Bausch & Lomb has a sufficient production reserve and has acquired Bescon, one of the largest contact lens manufacturers in South Korea, to provide production services for Bausch & Lomb together with Essence Optics in Taiwan.
Bausch & Lomb's color contact lenses are divided into four categories: lace eyes, lace eyes, lace eyes and bright eyes, each of which has a different life cycle, lace eyes are divided into daily throw, biweekly and annual throw, lace flash eyes are divided into daily throw, monthly throw and half a year throw, lace eyes only have daily and annual throws, and bright eyes are day throws. Among them, the average daily disposable single piece is about 11 yuan, and the annual disposable is about 80-110 yuan per piece. Although some consumers will give more priority to practical and cost-effective lenses and choose to wear lenses year-round, China's testing standards for contact lenses are too low, and in Japan, where regulations are strict, contact lenses can only be sold for a month at the longest. Therefore, from the perspective of eye health, it is best to buy short-cycle disposable color contact lenses.
The lace series all use HEMA hydrogel, which is the most commonly used material for color contact lenses, with strong hydrophilicity, oxygen permeability also increases with the increase of water content, the elasticity of the lens is good, and the three lenses of bright eyes, flashing eyes and dazzling eyes have their own emphasis on the pattern design, and the bright eyes have a double-layer lace pattern design, but only monochrome is used, simple and natural, suitable for daily wear. The dazzling daily color is fresher, while the annual color is heavier, and the magnification effect is better.
Of course, color contact lenses are not necessarily exclusive to women, Bausch & Lomb's bright eyes are very suitable for men to wear, its lenses use Hilafilcon A hydrogel, this non-ionic material is neutral, not easy to produce protein precipitation, long-term wear is also very comfortable, there are brown, black, 14.2mm diameter and gradient ring texture, can strengthen the contrast between the black and white of the eye, so that the wearer looks a lot of energy, but the price is relatively high, 10 pieces of daily throw is 138 yuan.
