- • Choose Bausch + Lomb Ultra if you prioritize measured intra-day moisture performance (95%/16hrs) backed by MoistureSeal® Technology — particularly for dry eyes or end-of-day discomfort with other monthly lenses
- • Choose Biofinity if you prioritize the highest possible Dk/t (160 vs 114) for corneal oxygen delivery, or prefer a naturally wettable material without an integrated wetting agent
Both are strong monthly silicone hydrogel lenses. The best choice depends on your specific ocular surface profile and eye care professional recommendation.
