Sleep in Bausch & Lomb VST®

lenses overnight.

See clearly during the day.

While you sleep at night, something amazing happens.

That’s because Bausch & Lomb Vision Shaping Treatment VST™

is designed to gently correct your vision. So when you wake, your

world takes shape filled with incredible crispness and

clarity. Suddenly you see life in all its breathtaking

detail – without glasses, contact lenses, or surgery. It’s the start

of a new day – enjoying more visual freedom than ever before.

Your eye without vision correction.

• When you’re nearsighted, the shape of your cornea causes

light rays to focus too far in front of the retina.

How Bausch & Lomb VST® works.

• Bausch & Lomb VST® uses a gas permeable lens to change the

curvature of your cornea by temporarily molding its shape.

• The central portion of the VST® lens fits closer to the eye than a

standard contact lens, exerting a gentle pressure on your cornea,

which is elastic in nature.

• The outer part of the VST lens is farther away from the eye,

allowing room for the cornea to change shape.

• By changing the curvature of your cornea, Bausch & Lomb VST

helps light focus properly on the retina instead of in front of it –

resulting in clear vision.

Bausch & Lomb VST is completely reversible and non-invasive. If you stop wearing the

shaping lenses, your cornea will return to its orginal shape.*

The step-by-step process to visual freedom.

With Bausch & Lomb VST®, you meet with your eye doctor, who will prescribe shaping lenses

that are custom designed to fit the specific contour of your eyes.

• Your eye doctor will utilize advanced topography equipment to measure the curvature of

your corneas (Corneal Mapping). It’s like having your picture taken.

• This touch-free, painless procedure takes about a minute and produces a topographical

map of the surface of your eyes.

• Your eye doctor then orders Bausch & Lomb VST lenses, custom-made to your unique

prescription, from a lens-finishing laboratory.

• Shaping lenses are shipped directly to your eye doctor for dispensing.

Once you’ve been fit with VST® lenses, you simply wear them overnight. They’re designed to

gently reshape your cornea to correct your vision while you sleep. VST® lenses work on eyes

similar to the way orthodontic retainers work on teeth.

• Since you’ll be wearing them only while you sleep, there’s little awareness of them on

your eyes.

• In the morning, you take your shaping lenses out and see clearly and crisply during the day.

• Although the duration of correction varies by person, the goal is to provide a full day or

longer of corrected vision.

Bausch & Lomb Boston® Equalens® II: The ideal, healthy material.

Bausch & Lomb VST® lenses are made of a special material developed by Bausch & Lomb

that’s different from materials used in regular soft contact lenses. Equalens II is a premium

material that allows for high oxygen transmission to the eye and healthy, comfortable

overnight wear.*

Bausch & Lomb VST lenses are approved for daily and overnight wear. For added

convenience, the lenses are color-coded (red for right and yellow for left), making them

easy to identify and insert.

Caring for and cleaning your Bausch & Lomb VST lenses.

Bausch & Lomb VST lenses are as easy to care for as regular contact lenses. Simply clean

and disinfect them daily, then store them in their proper lens case. For optimal results, use

Bausch & Lomb Boston SIMPLUS® Multi-Action Solution. It’s also critical that you read and

follow all lens care instructions provided by your eye care professional.

In addition, because Bausch & Lomb VST lenses are only worn while you sleep, there aren’t

any hassles or maintenance needs during the day – no adjusting, no rewetting, and no

carrying lens cases or solutions.

The road to visual freedom is easily traveled with Bausch & Lomb VST®.

Once you’ve started wearing your Bausch & Lomb VST lenses, you can expect to return to

your eye care professional’s office a few times during the early part of the fitting process.

During these visits, your eye doctor will monitor and evaluate your progress and make any

minor adjustments in the way your lenses fit.

• After wearing the lenses overnight for the first time, you’ll return to your eye care

professional’s office the following day wearing your Bausch & Lomb VST lenses for an

initial evaluation.

• Your next visit will be without the lenses on. You’ll awake in the morning, remove your

Bausch & Lomb VST lenses and visit your eye care professional for an evaluation. You may

already notice that the process is working.

• Your eye care professional will determine how many times you’ll need to be seen after

your initial visit, but generally you can plan on returning two to four times the first year

for follow-up care.

A unique treatment performed exclusively by certified experts.

If you’re considering Bausch & Lomb VST® you’ll be glad to know that eye care professionals

who prescribe and fit Bausch & Lomb VST lenses are part of an elite group. That’s because

these eye care professionals must first go through a rigorous certification program to learn

how to perform this unique procedure.

• VST® providers take part in a variety of lens-fitting workshops, seminars, and

continuing education courses such as Orthokeratology Academy of America’s Global

Orthokeratology Symposium.

• Your eye care professional’s staff may also take part in formal training or in-office

seminars to gain knowledge in VST technology.

Making an investment in your quality of vision.

By deciding on Bausch & Lomb VST, you’re investing in your visual freedom.

• Like orthodontic treatment – such as braces – is an investment in your smile,

Bausch & Lomb VST is an investment in good vision that will have benefits for years

to come.

• Although the initial cost may be higher than glasses or contact lenses, the procedure

is convenient and offers greater freedom – plus, it typically works within days.
