We have many patients that wear contacts, and more than anything else, they want comfort and great vision with their contacts. Fitting contact lenses is challenging in Colorado. The dry air and us Coloradans’ tendency to be outdoorsy means that complaints such as redness, dryness, and end of the day discomfort are pretty common. And to top all that off, how do we use our eyes in the modern world? We sit in front of computer screens! Computer use can result in dry eye and computer vision syndrome.  With all the potential causes of contact lens discomfort, our eye doctors are always seeking out a better contact lens –one that can hold up to the challenges that cause other lenses to give up early. Enter Bausch and Lomb’s new ULTRA!

Computer vision syndrome causes blurred vision, eye strain, tired eyes, and delayed focusing. ULTRA’s advanced lens technology helps prevent the dehydration that may be caused by reduced blink rates when using the computer. ULTRA’s comfort is the reason that Vista Eye Care invested in these lenses, and in fact this lens won’t even be widely available to other optometrists until 2015. ULTRA is a monthly-replacement contact lens and it’s claim to fame is that it can be comfortably worn all day, even in those eyes that have a tendency to feel dry and irritated in other contact lens brands.

Call our office today at (303) 450-2020 to schedule your annual comprehensive eye and vision examination and be sure to ask for Bausch and Lomb’s ULTRA so you take these great lenses for a spin!
