FAQs About VST® Method

I’ve always been told not to wear contact lenses while I sleep. Are Bausch & Lomb VST™ shaping lenses safe?
Bausch & Lomb Vision Shaping Treatment VST™ shaping lenses are made of a material that allows oxygen to reach the eye, even while you sleep*. That’s why Bausch & Lomb VST® shaping lenses are approved for overnight wear. Plus, Bausch & Lomb VST shaping lenses come from the eye care company trusted by doctors and consumers for over 150 years.

*See Package Insert for complete instructions and important safety information.

Are the shaping lenses comfortable?
Yes. You barely feel them working. And because you only wear them while you sleep, you avoid discomforts sometimes associated with daytime contact lens wear—such as dryness at the end of the day.
 
And when I take the shaping lenses off, I’ll be able to see clearly all day? For how long exactly?
The treatment results are different for everyone. But if you wear your shaping lenses as prescribed, you should realize a full day of clear vision.
 
Can I see while I’m wearing the shaping lenses?
Yes. But shaping lenses work differently than regular contact lenses. A contact lens prescription works to immediately correct your vision to 20/20. But shaping lenses work by gently holding a corrective position overnight. While they’re in, you’ll be able to see well. But once they’re out, you’ll see even better.
 
Can I wear them during the day?
Even though you can wear shaping lenses during the day, their performance may differ. They are intended for overnight wear.
 
Are the shaping lenses hard to take care of?
They're as easy to care for as conventional contact lenses. Simply clean and disinfect them daily, then store them in their proper lens case. In addition, because they're usually worn while you sleep, there aren't any hassles or maintenance during the day — no adjusting, no rewetting, and no carrying lens cases or solutions.
 
What should I use to take care of my Bausch & Lomb VST shaping lenses?
For optimal results, use Boston Simplus™ Multi-Action Solution, from Bausch & Lomb, a one-bottle lens care system that includes a daily protein remover.
 

 

Are 30-Day Continuous Wear Soft Contact Lenses for You?

Please take a few moments to review these questions.  They will help you and Dr. Gambino determine if you could benefit from wearing 30-day continuous wear soft contact lenses.

  1. Have you ever forgotten to remove your contact lenses before going to bed? 
     

  2. Does your work require you to be on call at all hours of the day/night? 

  3. Do you frequently travel overnight?  
                                     

  4. When you wake up, is it difficult to see before you find your eyeglasses?
     

  5. Have you ever wished you could wake up and see immediately? 
     

  6. Do you have family members who require attention during the night?  
      

  7. Does the pace of your life ever interfere with your daily contact lens cleaning/disinfecting routine? 
      

  8. Do you have any hobbies/interests that interfere with your daily contact lens cleaning/disinfecting routine?

  9. Have you thought about having corrective laser eye surgery, but decided to postpone it? 

  10. Would you like to have 24-hour vision?                                 

       

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, 30-day continuous wear soft contact lenses may be the answer for you.  Ask Dr. Gambino!
