Product Information
Bausch + Lomb’s Boston II contact lenses are rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses that keep your eyes feeling fresh from insertion to removal. Each Boston II lens is custom-made to meet the needs of your prescription and fit your eye perfectly.
Features & Benefits
Boston II contacts are RGP lenses that are intended for daily wear. When properly cleaned and cared for, Boston II contacts can last up to a year before they need to be replaced with a new pair.
Like most RGP lenses, Boston II contacts are made to order to ensure that each lens perfectly fits your eye. Contacts that fit properly are much less likely to move around during wear, which can result in blurry vision.
Boston II contacts are also made to order to meet the needs of your prescription, which means they can address nearly every refractive error, including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), presbyopia (blurred near vision), and astigmatism (blurred near and distance vision). To correct these visual impairments, Boston II contacts come in the following designs: aspheric, bifocal, toric, bi-toric, front toric, and back toric.
Boston II contacts are incredibly comfortable because they’re made of itafocon B. This material has high oxygen transmissibility, which means it allows plenty of oxygen to reach the eye. Our eyes need oxygen to stay white and healthy. Boston II contacts also stay fresh and comfortable all day because they don’t collect irritating deposits.
Who They're For
Boston II contacts are suitable for people who don't mind going through a period of adaptation to contact lens wear. Boston II contacts are also a great choice for people with dry or sensitive eyes as well as people with refractive errors for whom soft lenses don't produce the desired visual acuity.
Additionally, Boston II contacts are ideal for those who need vision correction due to irregular corneal conditions, like keratoconus and those resulting from unsuccessful LASIK procedures.
How to Put In Boston II Contacts
Boston II contacts are RGP lenses and as such, you should follow the standard procedure for this type of lens. Wash and dry your hands before touching the contacts or your eyes. Scoop your first lens out of the case with the index finger of your dominant hand and rinse it with a multipurpose cleaning solution recommended by your eye care professional (ECP). Inspect the lens for any tears or debris. Hold your eyelid open, stare straight ahead, and gently place the lens on your eye. Blink a few times to center the lens. Repeat for the other lens. Don’t panic if the lens doesn’t feel comfortable immediately. RGP lenses typically take longer to get used to wearing than soft lenses, but regular use is key for comfort.

I don't have a contact lens prescription. Can I use my eyeglass prescription instead?

Are Boston II FDA-approved?
Yes, Boston II contact lenses are FDA-approved. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers all contact lenses as prescription medical devices and must go through an approval process.
I am planning to buy a 6-month supply of Boston II contacts. How many boxes do I need to buy?
1 vial of Boston II will last you for 6-12 months. Make sure to follow the proper lens care routine to maintain the quality of the lens.
How many boxes of Boston II do I need to buy to last 6 months, or 12 months?
You need 1 box(es) of Boston II contacts to last you for 6 months. In order to last you for 12 months, you'll need 1 box(es). These amounts pertain to a single eye, so to cover both eyes, double these amounts.
Can you take a nap in Boston II contacts?
No, you cannot nap in Boston II lenses. As Boston II are not approved for overnight wear (a full night's sleep), napping in them for a short period of time is not advisable either, and it can lead to eye-health complications. Napping for any length of time with contacts not designed for such an environment is risky. Choose a lens that is approved for overnight wear and seek guidance from your ECP if this is a requirement for you.
Is ordering Boston II contact lenses online safe?
Yes, all contact lenses, including Boston II ordered from Lens.com are FDA-approved, genuine lenses manufactured by top contact lens brands such as Bausch + Lomb and Alcon, and backed by a money-back guarantee. Order and fulfillment processes adhere to mandates set by US federal law, including the requirement to verify valid prescriptions, without exception. We go above and beyond, by making the experience efficient, easy, and pleasant with 24/7/365 customer service and a money-back guarantee.
How long does it take to adjust to wearing Boston II contacts?
If you're wearing Boston II for the first time, it can take several days to a couple of weeks for you to adjust to wearing them on a daily basis. Contacts vary from brand to brand in terms of their shape, material, breathability, wetting agents used, and other factors, thus requiring an adjustment period. Rigid/hard lenses can sometimes take longer to adjust to, whereas most contacts in use today employ a soft form of silicone that is typically easy to adjust to.
Can I use my eyeglass prescription for Boston II contact lenses?
Unfortunately no, you can't use your eyeglass prescription for Boston II lenses. Your eyeglass prescription only has the power part of the contact lens prescription. In addition to the power, the proper base curve (BC) and diameter (DIA) are needed to order contact lenses. Contact lenses come in different sizes and must be fit to your eye by an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist. As a replacement center, we can only sell you contact lenses that you are already wearing successfully. So ultimately eyeglass prescriptions are not the same as a prescription for Boston II contacts. See an ECP/optometrist if you're looking for a contact lens prescription and fitting as a first-time-wearer.
Are Boston II sold on Lens.com authentic? Why is it cheaper than other vendors?
Yes, all contacts sold on Lens.com are 100% authentic, including Boston II and come with a money-back guarantee.

How old do you have to be to wear Boston II contact lenses?
Like most contacts, including Boston II, they can be worn by teens and potentially pre-teens as well, per the direction of an ECP. In general, there is no fixed minimum age for wearing contacts, as it's a judgment call based on lifestyle habits, budget, and of course your ECP's guidance. Contacts do require care and consistency in usage and maintenance/cleaning and these are the lifestyle factors you should consider when thinking about contacts for a child.

Can I be allergic to Boston II contacts?
Contacts, like Boston II are made of hypoallergenic materials, meaning the contacts themselves don't usually cause an allergic reaction.

What is the water content of Boston II?
Boston II contacts have a water content of 0%. The higher the water content in a contact lens, the more oxygen reaches the cornea during lens wear. There are other factors at play however so water content alone isn't enough of a factor to judge a lens' performance for a given person. High water content lenses can feel comfortable initially but may dry out over time, but this is not always the case. So it's good to know about the water content of a lens, but it's not everything. Consult your ECP to find out the best options for you.
How should I store my Boston II contact lenses?
Daily disposable contacts cannot be stored and must be discarded at the end of each day. Even if you wear them for only a few hours one day, you still need to discard them after that use and wear a fresh pair of contacts the next day.

Boston II Reviews
Customer service, Accurate, fast delivery...
The customer service was above and beyond. I was terrified ordering contacts online and had bad experiences with the optometrist in the office. But, I took the chance and called Lens.com, and was assisted with the poorly written script given by the optometrists, and every question I asked was answered. My lens arrived on time and were perfect in every way. Finally, the best part is the value for the price was outstanding! I will be back...
