Al Jaber Optical launches highly advanced Bausch & Lomb contact lenses

Clinical tests confirmed that significant less overnight swelling occurs in the cornea and the lens provides better movement upon awakening. Pure Vision is available in multi-focal lenses for patients who require correction for reading, intermediate purposes such as computer work as well as looking at the distance. Pure Vision Toric is prescribed to patients who have astigmatism.

Ahmed Jaber, Managing Director of Al Jaber Optical, said: 'There is so much to taste, to touch, to smell, but most importantly to 'see'. People talk about wanting to see the world; imagine what a disaster it would be if your vision care preparations let you down. When you spend so much time away from home it's easy to forget to make preparations to ensure that your eye health doesn't suffer while you're away. PureVision contact lenses are a good travelling solution for contact lens wearers. They are especially designed to help extra oxygen to reach the eye, without having to worry about taking them out after a late night.'

Conventional soft contact lens materials are not specifically designed for extended wear. Ahmed explained the balance of material design reduces stress and red eye. He added: 'It provides an optimal environment for healthy and comfortable extended wear. Pure Vision offers the highest percentage of 'bound water' which reduces hydration of the eye.'

Hydrophilic silicate promotes a smooth surface, wettability for long wearing comfort and exceptional visual acuity. The lens surface resists buildup of lipids, minimal protein build-up and environmental debris. The thicker periphery and rounded edge profile provides improved lens movement and promotes tear exchange which assists in removing debris build up.

Bausch & Lomb has invested 15 years of research, design and testing to develop this breakthrough in technology in an extended wear which will change the contact lens world as we know it today.

Bausch and Lomb Contact Lenses are available in all Al Jaber Optical stores located in major shopping malls in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah. Al Jaber Optical will open their new branch at Waterfront Centre, Dubai Festival City.
