PureVision 2 Contact Lenses Australia
PureVision 2 is Bausch + Lomb's monthly silicone hydrogel contact lens, designed for wearers who want high oxygen permeability and optical precision in a reusable monthly format. Built on High-Definition Optics and AutoAlignDesign technology, PureVision 2 lenses are engineered to deliver sharp, clear vision across all distances and lighting conditions — including low light — where some monthly lenses show reduced optical performance.
BuyContactsOnline.com.au stocks all three lenses in the PureVision 2 range — HD, for Astigmatism, and for Presbyopia — sourced directly from Bausch + Lomb's authorised Australian distributors.
The PureVision 2 Range
PureVision 2 covers the three core prescription types — spherical, toric, and presbyopia — all in a monthly replacement format. All lenses share Bausch + Lomb's ComfortMoist Technology, a wetting agent incorporated into the lens material to support consistent surface hydration throughout the wearing day.
PureVision 2 HD (Spherical)
PureVision 2 HD is designed for wearers with myopia (short-sightedness) or hyperopia (long-sightedness) who require standard vision correction. The HD designation refers to Bausch + Lomb's High-Definition Optics design, which uses an aspheric optical surface to reduce the visual aberrations that can cause halos and glare — particularly noticeable in low-light conditions such as night driving or dimly lit environments.
PureVision 2 HD is also approved for occasional extended wear of up to six nights and seven days, subject to optometrist assessment. It is a silicone hydrogel lens with high oxygen permeability, which is a prerequisite for any lens to be considered for extended wear. Available in a 6-pack.
PureVision 2 for Astigmatism
PureVision 2 for Astigmatism is the toric lens in the range, designed for wearers whose cornea has an irregular curvature requiring astigmatism correction. It uses AutoAlignDesign, a stabilisation system that orients the lens quickly and precisely on the eye without relying on a thick inferior edge for weight. AutoAlignDesign works with the natural geometry of the eyelids to bring the lens into correct rotational alignment rapidly, even during activities with significant eye and head movement.
Like PureVision 2 HD, the astigmatism version is a silicone hydrogel monthly lens with high oxygen permeability and ComfortMoist Technology. Available in a 6-pack. For a broader overview of monthly and daily toric options across all brands, see our toric contact lenses collection.
PureVision 2 for Presbyopia
PureVision 2 for Presbyopia is designed for wearers managing presbyopia — the age-related loss of near vision that typically develops from the mid-40s. The lens uses a 3-Zone Progressive design that provides three distinct focal zones — near, intermediate, and distance — within a single lens, allowing the eye to transition naturally between visual tasks at different distances.
Like the other lenses in the range, it is a monthly replacement silicone hydrogel lens with ComfortMoist Technology. Available in a 6-pack. For presbyopia lens options across all brands and wearing schedules, see our multifocal contact lenses collection.
Why Choose PureVision 2?
PureVision 2's primary differentiator is its emphasis on optical precision. High-Definition Optics and the aspheric lens design are specifically aimed at reducing visual aberrations that cause halos, starbursts, and reduced contrast sensitivity — optical distortions that are most noticeable in low-light conditions and most commonly noticed by wearers who drive at night or spend time in variable lighting.
For wearers who have experienced these issues with other monthly lenses, PureVision 2 HD's optical design is worth discussing with your optometrist as a potential solution.
PureVision 2 also sits alongside Bausch + Lomb's other monthly offering — ULTRA — in the BCO range. The key distinction: ULTRA features MoistureSeal Technology, which retains 95% of lens moisture for 16 hours and is particularly suited to long wearing days and high screen use. PureVision 2 HD emphasises optical precision through its aspheric design. Both are strong monthly options; the right choice depends on whether optical performance in variable light or all-day moisture retention is your primary priority. Browse the ULTRA collection to compare.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a prescription to order PureVision 2 contact lenses?
Yes. Contact lenses are classified as prescription medical devices in Australia under TGA regulations and can only be supplied with a valid prescription from a registered optometrist or ophthalmologist.
What does "HD" mean in PureVision 2 HD?
HD refers to High-Definition Optics — an aspheric lens design that reduces optical aberrations such as halos and glare that can affect vision in low-light conditions. It does not refer to vision prescription strength; it refers to the optical quality of the lens surface design.
Can I sleep in PureVision 2 HD lenses?
PureVision 2 HD is approved for occasional extended wear of up to six nights and seven days, subject to assessment by your optometrist. Extended wear is not appropriate for all wearers. Always speak with your optometrist before sleeping in any contact lens.
What is the difference between PureVision 2 and ULTRA contact lenses?
Both are Bausch + Lomb monthly silicone hydrogel lenses. PureVision 2 HD emphasises optical precision through its aspheric High-Definition Optics design. ULTRA features MoistureSeal Technology, which retains 95% of lens moisture for 16 hours, making it particularly suited to long wearing days and high screen use. The right choice depends on your primary priority — optical performance or sustained moisture retention.
Can I claim PureVision 2 contact lenses on my health insurance?
Yes, in most cases. Contact lenses are claimable under the optical extras component of most Australian private health insurance policies. BuyContactsOnline.com.au is registered with all major Australian health funds (Provider Number 2413719K). Every order confirmation includes item numbers and a PDF invoice for easy claiming.
