Bio True One Day is the newest generation in the single use contact lens market. It uses Bausch & Lomb's Hypergel material. B&L says that this is the first contact lens bioinspired by the human cornea.What makes this lens so special?
The contact lens is made of only 22% material and 78% water. This is the same water content of the human cornea. The lens surface is very similar to the lipid layer of you tears. This is what keeps your eyes from drying out. This is what makes Bio True One Day so comfortable. My personal experience with the lens is that they were still comfortable after 14 hours of wear! FYI, I don't wear contacts because of comfort issues.
It also has Bausch & Lomb's High Definition Optics which help reduce halos and glare, especially at night.
How much do they cost?
Bio True one Day contacts would be more expensive than standard single use lenses, because of the newer lens material and technology. They are an excellent lens for problem eyes, such as, chronic dryness, post LASIK, flat corneas, or someone looking for better end of day comfort.
Currently, there are rebates available to help with the cost too. I would figure less than $1.50 per day after the rebates.
They currently are only select doctors that have the contacts with a national rollout early in 2013. You can find a doctor in your area by getting on the Bio True web site at http://www.biotrue.com.
