Bausch + Lomb, a leading global eye health business of Bausch Health Companies Inc. (NYSE/TSX: BHC) ("Bausch Health"), today announced that two poster presentations will feature data on the new Bausch + Lomb INFUSE™ silicone hydrogel (SiHy) daily disposable contact lenses during the virtual Global Specialty Lens Symposium (GSLS).

Annual Meeting, which takes place Jan. 21-23, 2021. Bausch + Lomb also will offer attendees the opportunity to participate in a presentation about its Zenlens™ scleral lenses.

"The continued response from patients has been overwhelmingly positive since we launched this breakthrough new lens last year in the United States, Canada and other countries around the world.* In fact, in a survey among patients who tried Bausch + Lomb INFUSE lenses, 97% of patients agreed Bausch + Lomb INFUSE lenses provide crisp, clear vision throughout the day, and 94% of patients agreed Bausch + Lomb INFUSE helps keep contact lenses from feeling dry,"1 said Joseph C. Papa, chairman and CEO, Bausch Health. "We are proud to continue to support ongoing research on this unique lens to help eye care professionals understand its clinical benefits and relevance for patients."
