How Does ProBalance Technology Work in Bausch + Lomb Infuse One-Day?
ProBalance Technology sets Infuse One-Day apart from most other daily disposables. While many lenses focus purely on surface moisture, ProBalance takes a broader approach to maintaining the ocular surface environment throughout the day.
What ProBalance Technology Contains
ProBalance Technology packages three active ingredients into the lens material:
- 1. Wetting agents — hydrophilic molecules that maintain surface moisture and lubricity throughout the wear period
- 2. Electrolytes — ions that mirror the natural ionic composition of healthy tears, maintaining the natural balance at the ocular surface
- 3. Osmoprotectants — compounds that protect surface cells of the eye from osmotic stress caused by evaporation and challenging environments such as air conditioning and low humidity
Why Osmoprotectants Matter
Osmotic stress — where the tear film becomes more concentrated due to evaporation — is a significant contributor to contact lens discomfort, especially in dry or air-conditioned environments. Most daily disposable lenses do not include compounds specifically designed to counter this mechanism. ProBalance Technology's osmoprotectants shield surface cells from this stress, supporting sustained comfort in conditions where other lenses may fall short.
The Result for Wearers
Together, these three components maintain ocular surface homeostasis — the natural, stable environment of the eye's surface — throughout up to 16 hours of daily wear. Consult your eye care professional to confirm whether Infuse One-Day is appropriate for your needs.
