Bausch + Lomb Ultra for Astigmatism contact lenses are monthly disposable toric lenses from one of the most established names in eye care. Designed specifically for people with astigmatism, these lenses combine MoistureSeal® Technology for 95% moisture retention for up to 16 hours with OpticAlign® Design — a toric stabilization system with ballasting in the lower hemisphere that achieves rotation at dispensing of just 5° in 94% of patients.
Together these technologies deliver consistent, stable astigmatism correction alongside the all-day comfort that the Bausch + Lomb Ultra lens family is built on.
Astigmatism is a common refractive condition caused by an irregular curvature of the cornea or lens of the eye. Rather than being evenly rounded, the eye is shaped more like a rugby ball — causing light to focus at two different points on the retina rather than one, resulting in blurred or distorted vision at various distances.
Common symptoms include blurred vision, ghosting or double images, difficulty with night vision, eye strain, squinting, and headaches. Astigmatism often occurs alongside myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness). A standard spherical lens cannot correct it — a toric lens with a reliable stabilization mechanism is required to maintain the precise orientation needed for accurate correction.
If you think you may have astigmatism, consult an eye care professional for a full assessment and toric contact lens fitting.
Accurate astigmatism correction requires the toric lens to maintain a precise, stable orientation on the eye at all times. Even minor lens rotation directly affects visual clarity — this is why toric lens stabilization is the defining performance characteristic of any toric contact lens.
OpticAlign® Design provides ballasting in the lower hemisphere of the lens — a thicker, heavier zone at the bottom that works with the natural pressure and movement of the eyelids during blinking to continuously reorient the lens. Key performance results from clinical evaluation:
The orientation mark at the 6 o'clock position also allows the wearer and their eye care professional to visually confirm correct lens placement during insertion and fitting.
Monthly lenses can lose moisture progressively throughout a 30-day wear cycle, particularly during the latter part of each day. MoistureSeal® Technology addresses this through a proprietary two-phase manufacturing process that retains moisture within the Samfilcon A material and delivers a highly wettable surface — maintaining 95% of the lens's moisture content for up to 16 hours of daily wear.
This is particularly relevant for toric lens wearers, who may require additional daily lens handling for orientation checks — making lens surface quality and comfort even more important throughout the wear period.
Standard contact lenses can introduce spherical aberration — a type of optical imperfection where light rays passing through the outer edges of the lens focus at a slightly different point than those passing through the center. This can reduce contrast sensitivity and contribute to halos, glare, and softened image clarity, particularly in low-light conditions.
The aspheric optical design of Bausch + Lomb Ultra for Astigmatism is built to reduce both inherent spherical aberration (from the lens material and design) and induced spherical aberration (introduced by the eye's natural optics). The practical benefits include improved visual sharpness and reduced halos and glare — particularly noticeable in night driving, dimly lit environments, and other low-light settings.
Bausch + Lomb Ultra for Astigmatism lenses are designed for a monthly replacement cycle. Each pair should be:
Replace lenses every 30 days regardless of comfort. Replace your lens case every three months.

Bausch + Lomb Ultra for Astigmatism are monthly disposable toric contact lenses from Bausch + Lomb, designed for people with astigmatism. They feature MoistureSeal® Technology for 95% moisture retention for up to 16 hours, OpticAlign® Design with ballasting in the lower hemisphere for stable toric correction, and Spherical Aberration Control for reduced halos and glare. Made from Samfilcon A with 46% water content and a Dk/t of 114. Each 6-pack provides a 6-month supply for one eye.
OpticAlign® Design uses ballasting in the lower hemisphere of the toric lens — a weighted zone that works with eyelid movement during blinking to keep the lens correctly oriented on the eye. This maintains the precise orientation required for accurate astigmatism correction. In a clinical study on 157 contact lens wearers, OpticAlign® achieved rotation at dispensing of just 5° in 94% of patients, supporting stable, clear vision from the first fitting.
MoistureSeal® Technology locks moisture into the Samfilcon A lens material through a proprietary two-phase manufacturing process, maintaining 95% of moisture content for up to 16 hours of daily wear. This supports consistent comfort from insertion to removal — particularly beneficial for wearers in air-conditioned environments or those who spend long hours on digital devices.
The aspheric optical design of these lenses reduces inherent and induced spherical aberration — the optical imperfection that can cause halos, glare, and reduced contrast, particularly in low-light conditions. This delivers improved visual sharpness and is especially noticeable in night driving, dimly lit environments, and other low-light settings.
Yes. These are monthly disposable lenses. Each pair is designed for up to 30 days of daily wear with nightly removal, cleaning, and storage before replacement.
Each box of 6 lenses provides a 6-month supply for one eye. For both eyes you will need 2 boxes for a 6-month supply, or 4 boxes for a full year's supply.
These lenses are approved for extended continuous wear beyond a single day. However, sleeping in contact lenses is not appropriate for all wearers and reduces oxygen supply to the eye. The suitable duration for overnight or continuous wear depends on your individual circumstances — always consult your optometrist or eye doctor before wearing these lenses overnight or continuously.
Yes. MoistureSeal® Technology maintains 95% of the lens's moisture content for up to 16 hours, supporting comfort for wearers prone to dryness. The high oxygen transmissibility of Samfilcon A also supports healthy eyes throughout the wear period. Individual results vary — consult your eye care professional if you experience persistent dryness.
No. These lenses do not include UV protection. UV-blocking sunglasses or eyewear should be worn when outdoors to protect against harmful UV exposure.
Yes. MoistureSeal® Technology's sustained moisture retention supports comfort during long hours of screen use, where reduced blink rate can accelerate tear evaporation and cause progressive dryness. Individual results vary — consult your eye care professional if you experience persistent digital eye strain.
Many wearers with sensitive or dry eyes find these lenses comfortable due to MoistureSeal® Technology and the high oxygen transmissibility of Samfilcon A. Individual sensitivity varies — consult your eye care professional to confirm suitability for your specific needs.

When we tested the Bausch and Lomb Ultra for Astigmatism 6 Pack with a few volunteers, we determined its success at correcting astigmatism and providing comfort.
Users reported that the lenses were good for reliable vision correction and comfortable to wear (although this can vary with different needs and use).
In this review, you will learn everything about the product including the features, benefits, and shortcomings so that you can decide whether or not the product is a good fit for your lifestyle.
Bausch and Lomb Ultra for Astigmatism lenses are constructed with Samfilcon A, a tough silicone hydrogel that delivers excellent oxygen absorption.
This material also promotes long-term comfort by letting eyes "breathe" which lessens the likelihood of redness or irritation due to reduced oxygenation. It’s why these lenses are especially good for those who feel a little uneasy wearing other types of contact lenses.
This is particularly helpful for people who have to wear lenses for a prolonged time as improved oxygen levels makes us feel less fatigued.
MoistureSeal technology aids in keeping the lenses hydrated for maximum comfort during long-term wear.
You see, screen time can cause dryness on a daily basis, but these lenses retain 95% of their moisture for 16 hours. This reduces the amount of itchiness and makes for improved comfort that is ideal for long work hours on computers.
Many of the participants experienced less digital eye strain, and reported less dryness and pain.
These lenses do not have UV protection, so you must take extra precautions to protect your eyes. They still provide sharp and comfortable vision but do not block UVA or UVB rays.
Thus, sunglasses are still extremely important, particularly when going for long periods of time outdoors, to protect the eyes properly from harmful sunlight.
A lot of medical websites like WebMD stress the importance of UV protection when it comes to your eyesight, and so it’s something to consider when choosing lenses and other eyewear.
They are monthly disposables and contain six lenses in a pack that allows them to be worn every day for a month.
And, as a bonus, they're designed to sustain extended use for up to 7 days in total. But users must follow proper care instructions to keep eye health risks to a minimum.
Talk to an optometrist about best-use recommendations, though. It is a necessity for anyone who wants the most out of their contact lenses. As you adhere to the proper lenses, you’ll still be able to keep your eyes healthy and reap all of the convenience these lenses bring.
OpticalAlign Design enhances comfort while lenses remain put for best performance. This creates an efficient solution to typical ocular challenges such as halos and nighttime glare.
People report the lenses fit naturally on their eyes and provide clear vision. The movement that is typical of other brands’ lenses is significantly reduced.
This also allow the lenses to stay put all day long, and even at night time. Driving at night becomes more enjoyable with improved clarity and focus.
On the whole, the Bausch and Lomb Ultra for Astigmatism 6 Pack features impressive moisture management and clear vision.
In spite of their merits, things such as price, lack of UV protection, and the requirement for proper handling could be issues.
If you’re looking for hydration and all day visibility, this product is an excellent choice. Ask your eye doctor to see if Bausch and Lomb Ultra for Astigmatism is right for you.
