Balafilcon A Contact Lens Material
Balafilcon A is a contact lens material known for its excellent performance and comfort. Manufactured by Bausch & Lomb, contact lenses made from Balafilcon A offer a moisture/water content of 36%. This water content ensures that the lenses remain hydrated throughout the day, providing a comfortable wearing experience.
Compared to other contact lens materials, Balafilcon A has a lower water content. Some materials, such as Aerofilcon A and Alphafilcon A, have higher water contents of 69% and 66% respectively.
