Boston Contact Lenses

Bausch + Lomb’s Boston contacts are RGP lenses. Also known as hard contacts, RGP lenses are made of durable plastics that allow oxygen to pass through the lens to keep the eye healthy.

Unlike soft contact lens brands, Boston brand contacts and other RGP lenses are extremely durable. This means they are easier to handle and less likely to tear. In fact, each pair of Boston contacts can be worn daily for up to a year before they need to be replaced, as long as they are properly cleaned and stored every day.

Like most RGP lenses, Boston contacts also retain their shape when you blink, which is why they generally give clearer, crisper vision than soft contact lens brands. They can also be made into a wide range of parameters to address demanding visual needs, from common refractive errors like nearsightedness and farsightedness to rare corneal conditions like keratoconus.

Additionally, Boston contacts have little to no water content. This makes them naturally resistant to protein and deposit buildup that can otherwise irritate the eyes.

Note that some Boston brand contacts come with handling tints and built-in UV protection, while others have to be custom-made to include those special features.

How to Insert Boston Contacts

Boston contacts are RGP lenses and as such, you should follow the standard procedure for this type of lens. Wash and dry your hands before touching the contacts or your eyes. Scoop your first lens out of the case with the index finger of your dominant hand and rinse it with a multipurpose cleaning solution that’s specially designed for RGP lenses. Hold your eyelid open, stare straight ahead, and gently place the lens on your eye. Repeat for the other lens.
