There’s something wrong with your eyes. It could be because you’ve been working on the computer the whole day or watching too much television. Whatever it is, your vision is blurred and you’ve been having episodes of unnerving headaches. Because of these, you can forget about getting any work done. Does this sound familiar to you?

Now, there’s an immediate fix for eyesight problems and it doesn’t take drastic medical measures, according to Bausch and Lomb.

Bausch and Lomb has been around perhaps much longer than any other company in the optical industry. It goes back to 1853 when good friends John Jacob Bausch and Henry Lomb (now, you know where the names came from) eyed a business partnership that was to become a long-term success.

The company started with crafting rubber eyeglass frames while having been granted patents for microscopes, binoculars, and camera shutters in 1903. In the 1900s, it became known as the optical master, having produced the very first optical glass in America. This creation was used by the US military who marched on to the First World War. Yet, their most celebrated achievement was perhaps the fact that they created the first camera lenses used as the first satellite took some snap shots of the moon. Powered by an extraordinary vision, Bausch and Lomb’s success continued well into 1971 when it presented the very first soft contact lens. These lenses are still celebrated today. In fact, they may be just what your ailing eyesight needs.

There are various signs that can tell you when you need to consider putting on a contact lens. One may be that you’re suffering from myopia or near-sightedness while another may be that you’re far-sighted or hyperopic. There’s also astigmatism, which seems to be common even among children. Then there’s the age-related reading difficulty that doctors refer to as presbyopia while a condition known as keratoconus denotes a conical shape of the cornea. Just the same, you may also need to wear contact lenses after surgery. This can serve as a bandage after undergoing Lasik, which is a kind of refractive laser eye surgery. For all these conditions and perhaps a few more, Bausch and Lombís SofLens may just be the solution.

SofLens Contact Lens promises one comfortable eye fix. Compared to wearing spectacles, this lens gives a wider field of sight while allowing you to see the object as close to its actual size as possible. More, this BFAD-approved product is also said to correct medical eye conditions. In fact, it reportedly protects one’s cornea as well as lessens one’s myopia. Weather or temperature changes should no longer be a problem, too, with the SofLens. This is because it is said to never fog up to blur the wearer’s vision. It can be worn easily and comfortably. It is also highly recommended for those suffering with dry eyes symptoms.

Also, you might want to try Bausch and Lomb’s ReNu Drops, rewetting and lubricating drops made of a mild formula, allowing it to be applied directly on one’s eye. It can be used with or without contact lens several times a day. The product is also said to have a proven antimicrobial capability that has met the FDA Stand Alone Primary Disinfection Criteria. Suddenly, caring for your eyes is so easy you need not have such a high eye-Q.
