Purevision 2

In 2010, Bausch and Lomb introduced the next generation of PureVision extended wear contact lenses in spherical, astigmatic, and multifocal designs. The key advancement was High Definition (HD) Optics, designed to reduce glare, blurriness, and halos—particularly in low-light conditions. To distinguish these lenses from the original PureVision range, they were named PureVision 2 HD, also commonly referred to as PureVision 2. These names refer to the same lens.

The original PureVision lenses have now been discontinued. PureVision 2 lenses feature a thinner design with rounded edges to improve comfort and reduce eyelid sensitivity. Oxygen transmissibility to the cornea has increased from 112 to 130 Dk/t, and ComfortMoist™ Technology helps create a moisture-rich cushion around the lens to support comfort and clear vision during extended wear.

If you are new to PureVision 2—even if you previously wore the original PureVision lenses—it’s important to have your optical practitioner assess your vision, lens fit, and suitability, and to confirm how long you can safely wear extended-wear contact lenses.
