ABOUT PRESBYOPIA

Presbyopia is an age-related condition that occurs when the eye cannot focus clearly, making close-up objects look blurred. Presbyopia happens naturally with age. It usually begins around age 40, even for people who have never experienced vision problems in the past.

Common symptoms of presbyopia include:

  • blurred-vision-tree

    Blurred vision up close

  • aching-eye

    Needing to hold objects farther away to see them clearly

  • blurred-vision-tree

    Eye strain (when eyes feel tired)

  • aching-eye

    Headaches (especially after close-up tasks, such as reading)

People with presbyopia might have difficulty seeing:

  • squinting

    Books

  • aching-eye

    Menu items, especially in dim light

  • squinting

    Ingredient lists

  • aching-eye

    Text messages, photos, or videos on a phone

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes. INFUSE® One-Day Multifocal has been available since June 2023. It is a daily disposable multifocal lens designed for presbyopia. Its 3-Zone Progressive™ Design helps address your unique visual needs to deliver clear vision at all distances—including near, intermediate, and far. This lens also uses ProBalance Technology® and next-generation material to help minimize lens dryness.

INFUSE® One-Day Multifocal is a daily disposable lens that combines ProBalance Technology® and next-generation material with 3-Zone Progressive™ Design to help deliver clear near, intermediate, and distance vision while minimizing lens dryness.

INFUSE® One-Day Multifocal is unique because it combines two innovations: (1) 3-Zone Progressive™ Design optimized for seven biometrics—including pupil size, lens size, and eye shape—to deliver clear vision at all distances; and (2) ProBalance Technology® to help maintain moisture and keep your eyes comfortable all day.

Yes, once you've adapted. During the first few days to a week of wearing INFUSE® One-Day Multifocal, avoid driving and other visually demanding activities, like prolonged screen work while wearing your multifocal contacts. Wear them in safe, familiar situations first—such as reading and doing light indoor tasks—to let your eyes adjust. Once you're
comfortable, you can return to driving while wearing your contacts.

INFUSE® One-Day maintains 96% of its moisture for up to 16 hours. It contains the leading combination of overall moisture and breathability with its next-generation material infused with ProBalance Technology® that helps minimize lens dryness.†‡

Unlike INFUSE®, ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day, MyDay, and clariti 1 day, which are non-surface-treated silicone hydrogel daily disposables, DAILIES TOTAL1 and PRECISION1 are silicone hydrogel daily disposables with an integrated surface coating.

ProBalance Technology® is a unique, proprietary blend of ingredients infused into the lens and released throughout the day:

  1. Moisturizers to lock in hydration
  2. Electrolytes to maintain your eye’s natural salt balance
  3. Potassium to help the lens environment mimic the eye’s natural tear chemistry, which can improve comfort and reduce dryness during lens wear

All three use the same next-generation silicone hydrogel material with ProBalance Technology® so you get the same comfort across all variants. The difference is in the lens designs: INFUSE® One-Day corrects standard nearsightedness or farsightedness; INFUSE® One-Day for Astigmatism stabilizes with eye's natural blink and helps minimize halos and glare; and INFUSE® One-Day Multifocal uses 3-Zone Progressive™ Design to help you see clearly at all distances. Your eye doctor will prescribe one of these lenses based on your vision needs.

Yes. Bausch + Lomb and many eye doctors offer FREE* trial pairs of INFUSE® One-Day contacts so you can experience the moisture-infused comfort before committing to a full box. Ask your eye doctor for a FREE* trial of INFUSE® One-Day contact lenses, or visit the Bausch + Lomb contacts website for current trial offers.
