Bausch & Lomb PureVision

These are one of the worst contacts I ever got!!! They’re suppose to be monthly contacts but I can’t even wear them for a month!!! I put them on in the morning before work and after less than an hour, my eyes are super dry. I’ve never needed eye drops for contacts before these. I throw them away after 1-2 weeks because they hurt my eyes & when I take them out, the contacts are so dry. I’m going back to my old brand. My bi-weekly contacts are way better than these terrible & cheaply made contacts. Whoever made these must not wear contacts because they’re awful!

I have been wearing these lenses for 2 yrs now the only problem is they do not come colored. if you drop them as i sometimes do I can't see well enough

to find it. I would like it even better if they came in darker colors other than a light tint.

This company is THE WORST and I will never buy anything from them again! They offer a rebate program for your contacts, but make it extremely difficult to actually get your money. I had to speak to 5 different individuals and they still denied me my money. Even though I had sent everything they asked me to (directly from my doctor) and their own employee agreed with me...they had to send it to a black hole review board who denied what I sent in and never let me know. Then all my information disappeared and they could not see it anymore. I asked to speak to a manager and all he did was tell me that there is nothing he could do and he was incredibly rude about the situation too. I happen to know that other companies who offer rebates are much more customer service friendly and they do not make it so difficult to get your rebate back. The contact lenses themselves are fine. I have not really had any issues with the lenses. Be aware of this company...COMPLETE FAIL IN MY OPINION! Why would I give money to a company who doesn't care about me or the way they treat me?? Why would you??

I saw an add about gettting rebate if you buy more lense and brought a years worth or supply and after i brought them its been over 6months i am yet to see my money back and each time i call them they make me run around.

please do not buy anything from this company you will spend more than you have to and the lenses are not that great either

was looking for a new contact lens to wear. judging by these reviews I guessed pure vision 2 was a loser. then I tried them. just one thing to say about these forums. they are right! sorry b&l. guess i'll stick with Alcon.

Those of you complaining about Purevision 2 are probably like so any contact lens wearers I see everyday. Purevision 2 are not to be slept in, most contacts shouldn't be slept in. You can't just stick them in your eyes and expect them to do their job, if you as a contact lens wearers don't care for them properly, do you think your taught how to properly care for and proper hygiene practice with your contacts for entertainment purposes. These are by far best contacts I have ever had,but have severe astigmatism and these contacts do not shift or rotate, yes they do have a pale blue visibility tint. The best solution by far is Bio True they keep my Purevision 2 moist from insertion to removal. Most contact lens wearers are horrible at removing daily,cleaning properly and our first to complain about the lenses,your eye sight is nothing to mess around with. I am a contact lens specialist in an optician's office and it's horrific to see and hear lack of proper contact lens wear and care that goes on. I wear Purevision 2 wouldn't wear any other. Not all brands work for everyone, most complaints with any contacts tends to go back to wearer. A monthly lens like Purevision 2 is based on an 8 hour day. The longer you wear them each day the shorter the lifespan.

I have been wearing contacts almost 30 years.

At my most recent contact examination I was told PureVision was no longer made and it was suggested I try switching to PureVision 2 (PV2). So I did. I have never had so many discomfort or quality issuses in a contact in my life.

Before trying PV2's I had torn 2-3 contacts in my life. Out of the 15 or so individual contacts from my first try of this model at least 10 of them have torn. Two of these tore after less than two weeks and one was torn in IN THE PACKAGE before I ever touched it.

These this have caused more dry eye issues than I have had in years and are extremely difficult to determine if they are inside out. I usually have to wear one of the PV2 lenses for several hours before I realize it is inside out. With all of my previous contacts, it was immediately obvious they were inside out by either feel when I put them in or visually when looking at them.

I have worm B&L since I started wearing contacts and never had any issues with them but am seriously considering trying another brand next time I order.

I HAVE BEEN WEARING B&l LENSES FROM YEARS.. JUST HAVE THESE PUREVSION LENSES.. THEY DO NOT PROVIDE CLEAR VISION.. VERY DISAPPOINTING..

VERY UNCLEAR VISION... CANT DRIVE OR WORK ON COMPUTER... THEY ARE THAT BAD.. I HAVE PUT ON MY OLD LENSES UNTIL I GET OTHER PAIR OF LENSES.. DEFINATELY NOT FROM BAUSH & LOMB...

I have been wearing the Bausch & Lomb Softlens Multi-Focal for many years and have never had a problem with defective lenses or vision problems, despite wearing lenses with a power of -10, add Low. As a matter of fact, these were about the ONLY lenses I could comfortably wear and still have very good vision. When I went to re-order these lenses a few months ago, my doctor told me B&L had discontinued the Soflens awhile back (they didn't know about this until I tried to order more). They told me B&L had replaced these GOOD, TRIED & TRUE SOFLENS MULTIFOCAL lenses with PureVision, a "new, improved contact that is better for the eye" -- NOT!!

These lenses do not provide the same clear vision as the Soflens, their shape is different and do not fit my eye, they irritate my eyes and dry them out. Did I mention that not only do these "new improved" contacts irritate my eyes, but I see only about half as good, cannot even use them for driving, and definitely no night driving. Totally unusable and useless.

End result: I'm very put out with B&L as I can no longer wear their lenses, and am now going through the long process of trying to find another suitable contact lense. With my vision, it is very difficlt. Some folks may be able to wear these contact, but B&L totally ruined it for me when they discontinued the Soflens Multifocal. B&L has lost me as a customer (and, from the reviews, a whole lot of other folks!)

BRING BACK THE SOFLENS MULTIFOCAL!

I've been using lenses for more than 6 years on a daily basis. Bausch & Lomb always satisfies me with the quality of the lenses. PureVision are better quality and a harder than the 'Bausch & Lomb Soft Lens' and can be used for many hours without irritation. My sister complains that they are a bit hard when you first put them on the eye but for me this helps me cause they can be managed easier.
