New packaging for B+L ReNu Fresh includes rub and rinse care instructions.
Bausch + Lomb (B+L), a leading global supplier of contact lenses and contact lens care products, announced today that it is recommending a “rub and rinse” contact lens care regimen in the directions for use of its multi-purpose contact lens disinfecting solutions.
The decision is part of an ongoing initiative to promote an optimal contact lens wearing experience, according to the company.
As part of the initiative, B+L also is removing the phrase “no rub” from the product labeling of its ReNu Fresh multi-purpose contact lens solution.
“Bausch + Lomb is committed to partnering with eye care professionals to ensure excellent vision, comfort and health for contact lens wearing patients,” said Mohinder Merchea, OD, PhD, and Director of Medical Affairs for B+L’s North America Vision Care Division. Read more…
Bausch & Lomb Vision Care announced last month it has introduced two new contact lens solutions as part of a rebranding of its lens care products.
ReNu Fresh Lens Comfort (formerly ReNu MultiPlus) contains Hydranate, an ingredient designed to remove protein deposits from soft contacts; poloxamine, an ingredient designed to remove dirt and debris while enhancing lens wettability and moisture retention; and Dymed, a disinfecting agent.
ReNu Sensitive Eyes (formerly ReNu Multipurpose solution) contains fewer ingredients and is designed to be gentle on sensitive eyes without sacrificing a high level of contact lens cleaning and disinfection, the company says.
In May 2006, Bausch & Lomb voluntarily withdrew its ReNu with MoistureLoc contact lens solution from the market because the product was associated with fungal eye infections.
More information about ReNu Fresh Lens Comfort and ReNu Sensitive Eyes can be found at Bausch & Lomb’s ReNu website.
New SofLens daily disposable contact lenses by Bausch & Lomb offer the benefits of daily disposable contacts and an advanced optical design, according to the company. The new lenses feature Bausch & Lomb’s proprietary High Definition Optics, which is designed to reduce blur, halos and glare for optimal vision.
SofLens daily disposable contact lenses also feature a thin lens design and slow-release moisture formula for all-day comfort, which is key for sensitive eyes, the company says. As with all daily disposable lenses, contact lens care is unnecessary and there is less risk of lens deposit build-up, which can lead to eye infections.
