Bausch + Lomb Announces New Scientific and Clinical Analyses to be Presented at American Academy of Optometry Annual Meeting
Bausch + Lomb announced that three poster presentations will feature the company’s new silicone hydrogel (SiHy) daily disposable contact lens, Bausch + Lomb Infuse, during the virtual American Academy of Optometry (AAO) annual meeting (Oct. 7-22, 2020).
“Over the past two decades, we have seen many innovations in contact lens materials aimed at addressing contact lens comfort and vision. However, it was seeking to better understand ocular surface homeostasis that has allowed us to deliver a next generation silicone hydrogel material with our breakthrough ProBalance Technology, which is a proprietary combination of ingredients inspired by the TFOS (Tear Film and Ocular Surface Society) DEWS II (Dry Eye Workshop) report,” John Ferris, general manager, U.S. Vision Care, Bausch + Lomb, said in a company news release. “It is through research and analyses like those we look forward to presenting at AAO this year that have made it possible for us to bring forward this innovative contact lens, providing patient’s exceptional satisfaction by helping to minimize their symptoms of contact lens dryness.”
The poster presentations will be accessible to conference attendees via the AAO website from Oct. 7-22, 2020. On Oct. 9, 2020, from 4:00-6:00 p.m. ET, the authors will present their posters in the virtual AAO presentation room.
The complete list of poster presentations on Bausch + Lomb INFUSE contact lenses is as follows:
- Reindel, William. “Assessment of a Novel Silicone Hydrogel Daily Disposable Lens among Subjects with Contact Lens Related Dryness.”

- Schafer, Jeffrey. “A Clinical Assessment of Dehydration Resistance for a Novel Silicone Hydrogel Lens and Six Silicone Hydrogel Daily Disposable Lenses.”
- An assessment of the dehydration resistance of a novel kalifilcon A silicone hydrogel lens compared to six daily disposable silicone hydrogel lenses after 16 hours of wear.
- VanDerMeid, Karl. “Evaluation of Erythritol and Glycerin Osmoprotection Characteristics on an Ocular Surface Cell Line under Hyperosmotic Conditions.”
- An evaluation to determine if a combination of erythritol and glycerin can help maintain balance of transformed human corneal epithelial cells (THCEpiC) subjected to hyperosmotic conditions in-vitro.
