| foveator's Full Review: Bausch & Lomb Optima Fw Lenses |
This lens, once known as the Seequence lens, has again been renamed. It is now known as the Soflens 38 2-week disposable lens.
It is the same dependable workhorse as before. The "38" in the name denotes the 38% water content of the material it is made of. The newer lens materials have higher water content or higher oxygen permeability. This is considered by those in the industry as a "legacy lens", as it is one of the original materials used to make lenses in the 1970's.
