Bausch + Lomb Corp. announced the U.S. launch of ASANA gas permeable (GP) contact lenses.

ASANA is designed to offer eye care professionals a versatile portfolio of GP lenses, featuring spherical, aspheric, toric, multifocal, multifocal toric, reverse geometry and keratoconic designs.

Customizable Solutions for Unique Vision Needs

“Many still prefer rigid gas permeable contact lenses for clear, comfortable and consistent vision,” said Yang Yang, president of Global Vision Care at Bausch + Lomb. “ASANA offers eye care professionals a catalog of customizable GP lenses designed to fit each patient’s unique corneal curves, ensuring an excellent fit and sharp vision. These GP lenses also complete our custom Specialty Vision Products portfolio, providing a comprehensive range of options from scleral to custom soft, Ortho-K and now custom GP lenses.”

Durability and Visual Precision

ASANA GP lenses are designed to maintain their shape throughout the day and provide excellent visual acuity. The rigid material resists protein and fatty deposits, helping maintain clarity and comfort. Built for durability, they resist breaking and chipping, which can make them a cost-effective option because replacements may be needed less often.

For patients with high corneal astigmatism, severe refractive errors, keratoconus, corneal irregularities or post-surgical vision correction needs, gas permeable lenses can offer enhanced visual precision for more complex challenges.

Support for Eye Care Professionals

“Rigid gas permeable corneal contact lenses are an excellent option for certain patients, and having access to consultants to assist with fittings is a critical component of success,” said James R. Hoffman, OD, FAAO, of Orange Park Eye Center in Orange Park, Florida. “With ASANA, eye care professionals get both, along with fast manufacturing and shipping, a generous warranty and an extensive range of lens designs such as aspheric, toric, multifocal and more. It’s a great option, especially for busy practices.”

Warranty and Additional Information

ASANA GP lenses are custom made exclusively with Boston materials. Through the EZ-Exchange Warranty Program, unlimited lens remakes are available for 120 days.
