Bausch & Lomb - History
April 26, 2008
The following is a brief history of the Bausch and Lomb company. From humble beginnings to one of the worldwide leaders in the contact lens market, Bausch and Lomb are now market leaders in many areas of lens production, and their contact lens heritage makes them a natural choice for many contact lens wearers. They claim:
We offer the world’s most comprehensive portfolio of eye health products and we’re proud that ours is one of the oldest, best known and most respected healthcare brands in the world
and while this is obviously a strong assertion, it is easy to see how they have become this confident. With over 14000 employees in 100 countries worldwide, Bausch and Lomb represent a real world power in the lens manufacturing industry.Bausch and Lomb is an old company with a weath of tradition for quality products and great service. Founded in 1853 by Germans John Jacob Bausch and Henry Lomb, the company initially manufactured precision vision products such as vulcanised rubber eyeglass frames. Production was in a small optical shop in Rochester, New York.
Bausch and Lomb produced the first optical quality glass in American during the mid 1890s, and in 1903 they began to manufacture products requiring extremely high levels of quality, with extremely stringent manufactuing tolerances. It’s products included microscopes, binoculars and camera shutters.
Bausch and Lomb’s reputation for quality meant that World War I found the company producing sunglasses for the American military - this tradition for assisting public bodies was continued, and the company allegedly also produced camera lenses for the equipment that captured the first satellite images of the Moon.
Bausch and Lomb’s manufacture of contact lenses and eyecare products was a natural progression from the other types and formats of lenses already produced. Its product range starts with one day lenses, to semi-permanent contacts. From their website:
Our offerings span the entire spectrum of wearing modalities and include such well-known brand names as PureVision®, SofLens®, Boston® and Optima®.
and:
Our lens care products include the ReNu® brand of chemical disinfectants as well as the Sensitive Eyes® and the Boston® lines of products for cleaning contact lenses.
Other products such as the world-famous Ray-Ban line (now sold) of sunglasses helped to propel Bausch and Lomb into the limelight, while scandals such as those surrounding the ReNu product line, and the alleged trademark infringements of the PureVision brand tarnished its reputation somewhat. Nevertheless the company and its brands still enjoy continued world-wide success.
