Ultra Contact Lenses
Bausch + Lomb ULTRA is one of the most talked-about contact lens ranges in Australia — and with good reason. Built around MoistureSeal Technology, ULTRA is specifically engineered to address one of the most common complaints among contact lens wearers: lenses that start to feel dry, uncomfortable, or visually unstable as the day progresses. Whether you spend long hours in front of screens, work in air-conditioned environments, or simply want a lens that performs as well at 6pm as it did at 8am, ULTRA was designed with exactly those conditions in mind.
At BuyContactsOnline.com.au, we stock the complete ULTRA range — monthly and daily, across spherical, toric, and presbyopia prescriptions — at competitive prices, with same-day dispatch for orders placed before 10am Monday to Friday and free express post on four or more boxes.
The Technology Behind ULTRA: MoistureSeal
Every lens in the ULTRA range is built on MoistureSeal Technology — Bausch + Lomb's proprietary formulation that locks moisture into the lens material itself rather than relying solely on the tear film to keep the lens hydrated.
The result is a lens that maintains 95% of its moisture content for up to 16 hours of daily wear — a figure that sets ULTRA apart from most other monthly and daily contact lenses on the market. For wearers who experience the familiar mid-afternoon deterioration in lens comfort — dry, gritty, tired eyes that make removing lenses early feel necessary — MoistureSeal is the technology that most frequently makes a measurable difference.

The ULTRA Range
ULTRA (Monthly — Spherical)
ULTRA is the core monthly lens in the range, designed for wearers with standard myopia (short-sightedness) or hyperopia (long-sightedness). It is a monthly replacement lens worn each day, cleaned and stored each night, and replaced after 30 days. With a 46% water content and MoistureSeal locking in moisture for 16 hours, it is consistently recommended for full-time contact lens wearers who want reliable all-day comfort from a monthly lens — particularly those who find other monthlies drying out in the afternoon. Available in a 6-pack.
ULTRA for Astigmatism (Monthly — Toric)
ULTRA for Astigmatism brings MoistureSeal Technology to a monthly toric lens for wearers whose cornea has an irregular curvature causing blurred or distorted vision. It uses Bausch + Lomb's OPTICALIGN Design — a stabilisation system that keeps the lens correctly oriented on the eye throughout the day, delivering stable and consistently clear vision with minimal rotation. This design also incorporates spherical aberration control to reduce halos and glare, which can be a particular challenge for astigmatism wearers. Available in a 6-pack.
ULTRA for Presbyopia (Monthly — Multifocal)
ULTRA for Presbyopia is a monthly multifocal lens for wearers managing presbyopia — the gradual age-related loss of near vision that makes reading and close-up tasks increasingly difficult. Using a 3-Zone Progressive Design, the lens provides smooth transitions between near, intermediate, and distance vision, available across low, medium, and high addition powers. MoistureSeal Technology ensures the same 16-hour moisture performance applies to multifocal wearers, who often wear their lenses throughout particularly long days. Available in a 6-pack.
ULTRA One Day (Daily — Spherical)
ULTRA One Day brings the MoistureSeal platform to a daily disposable format for wearers who prefer the convenience and hygiene of a fresh lens every day. Open a new pair each morning, wear them throughout the day, and discard them at night — no cleaning, no storage solution required. It delivers the same 16-hour moisture retention as the monthly ULTRA lens in a single-use format, making it an excellent choice for part-time wearers, frequent travellers, those with sensitive eyes or allergies, and anyone who wants the ULTRA comfort experience without the monthly care routine.
If you are weighing up ULTRA One Day against ULTRA Monthly, our ULTRA One Day vs ULTRA Monthly comparison guide covers the key differences across comfort, cost, convenience, and lifestyle fit in detail.
Who Is ULTRA For?
ULTRA is designed around a specific, well-defined wearer profile — and understanding whether that profile matches your eyes and lifestyle helps you make a more confident choice.
ULTRA is an excellent choice if you spend significant time in front of digital screens each day, find that other contact lenses become uncomfortable by mid-afternoon or evening, work in air-conditioned or low-humidity environments, or wear lenses for long, demanding days where consistent comfort matters as much at the end of the day as the beginning.
The monthly range suits full-time wearers who are comfortable with a nightly cleaning routine and want a cost-effective premium lens for daily use. ULTRA One Day suits wearers who prioritise convenience, wear lenses part-time, or want to avoid the lens care routine altogether.
ULTRA is exclusively a Bausch + Lomb brand. If you have been prescribed another Bausch + Lomb daily lens, it may be Biotrue ONEday — which uses a different biomimetic technology approach. You can browse the full Biotrue contact lens range separately.
Our partner optometrist Peter Merrett is available during business hours to help you determine whether ULTRA — and which variant — is the right match for your prescription and wearing habits. Call us on 03 9510 2045 or email contacts@buycontactsonline.com.au.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes ULTRA different from other contact lenses?
The defining feature of every ULTRA lens is MoistureSeal Technology — Bausch + Lomb's formulation that locks moisture into the lens material itself, maintaining 95% of lens moisture for up to 16 hours. Most other lenses rely more heavily on the tear film to keep the lens surface hydrated, which is why many wearers experience dryness and discomfort as the day progresses. ULTRA's approach addresses this at the material level rather than through surface coatings alone.
What is the difference between ULTRA monthly and ULTRA One Day?
Both use the same MoistureSeal Technology and deliver the same 16-hour moisture performance. The key difference is the replacement schedule: ULTRA monthly is a reusable lens replaced every 30 days, cleaned each night with multipurpose solution. ULTRA One Day is a daily disposable — a fresh pair every day, no cleaning required. For a full comparison across cost, convenience, and lifestyle fit, read our ULTRA One Day vs ULTRA Monthly guide.
Is ULTRA good for screen users?
Yes — ULTRA is specifically designed with screen-intensive wearers in mind. MoistureSeal Technology maintains 95% lens moisture for up to 16 hours, directly addressing the end-of-day dryness and discomfort that is particularly common among wearers who spend long periods in front of digital devices.
Do I need a prescription to order ULTRA contact lenses?
Yes. Contact lenses are classified as medical devices in Australia and can only be supplied with a valid prescription from a registered optometrist or ophthalmologist. You will be asked to enter your current prescription details when placing your order.
Can I claim ULTRA 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. We are registered with all major Australian health funds (Provider Number 2413719K) and provide all claim information — including item numbers and a PDF invoice — with every order.
