Bausch + Lomb Ultra One Day for Astigmatism silicone hydrogel (SiHy) daily disposable contact lenses will launch this month in Australia at the International Cornea and Contact Lens Congress (ICCLC) 2026 in Hobart, Tasmania.
The lenses will be available to order from 1 November 2026.
“Many people with astigmatism want to wear their contact lenses longer but they often experience blurry vision and discomfort,”1 said Yang Yang, president, Global Vision Care, Bausch + Lomb. “Bausch + Lomb Ultra One Day for Astigmatism lenses are designed to directly address this challenge with a stable design based on the eye’s natural blink pattern,2-4 providing clear, stable vision.”2-4
Optimised for comfort, Bausch + Lomb Ultra One Day for Astigmatism lenses work in synergy with the tear film to help maintain ocular surface homeostasis throughout 16 hours of wear.5 They feature Advanced MoistureSeal Technology to balance exceptional moisture retention (96%) for 16 hours of wear, modulus (0.5 MPa),5 breathability (107 Dk/t10), and UV blocking to help minimise the impact on the ocular surface.5 ComfortFeel Technology, inspired by the Tear Film and Ocular Surface Society’s DEWS II report, enriches the tear film with a blend of comfort and eye health ingredients released over the course of the day.5
The lens’ proprietary OpticAlign design is engineered to complement the eye’s natural blink pattern4 by incorporating a thin edge design to minimise lid interaction,6 thinnest beneath the upper lid to limit rotation,6,7 and utilising the downward motion of each blink to enhance stabilisation.4,6 Additionally, the complete design offers high definition optics, optimised across the power range for consistent spherical aberration control, helping to reduce haloes and glare, even in low-light conditions.2,3,8
According to a recent study, 95% of Bausch + Lomb Ultra One Day for Astigmatism lenses settled within ±10° in just 30 seconds and 97% rotated less than 3° or had no rotation with each blink, with a mean comfort score of nearly 90%.9 Offering wide parameters coverage with 2,450 SKUs, it is the only daily disposable toric lens with -2.75 cylinders available.11,12
