About Bausch and Lomb
Bausch and Lomb has manufactured eye care and optical products in Rochester, New York since 1853, producing contact lens solutions, eye drops, and vision care products through 170 years of continuous American optical manufacturing.
Heritage & History
Bausch and Lomb was founded in 1853 in Rochester, New York by John Jacob Bausch and Henry Lomb, who began by selling Bausch's rubber eyeglass frames before expanding into optical instruments. The company became the leading American manufacturer of optical glass, military optics, and eventually contact lenses — inventing the soft contact lens in 1971 and pioneering extended-wear and disposable contact technologies that transformed vision care.
Rochester became the optics capital of America in large part because of Bausch and Lomb, which attracted optical talent and developed the manufacturing infrastructure that supported subsequent optical companies in the region. The company's 170-year Rochester presence has made it one of the longest continuously operating manufacturing companies in American history.
Made in Rochester, New York
Bausch and Lomb manufactures contact lens solutions, eye drops, and vision care products at the Rochester, New York facility. Contact lens solution production requires pharmaceutical-grade quality control: sterile manufacturing conditions, precise preservative concentrations that prevent bacterial growth without irritating corneal tissue, and osmolarity formulations that match tear film chemistry to minimize discomfort. Bausch and Lomb's ReNu and Biotrue solutions are formulated to the standard that 170 years of optics manufacturing demands.
Rochester is in Monroe County in western New York State, on the south shore of Lake Ontario. The city's identity as the Optics Valley of America is inseparable from Bausch and Lomb's 170-year presence. For contact lens wearers who want solutions from the company that invented soft contact lenses and has been producing optics in Rochester since before the Civil War, Bausch and Lomb's New York manufacturing delivers unmatched expertise.
