Product Information

Boston IV contact lenses from Bausch + Lomb are rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses that keep your eyes feeling fresh and comfortable all day. Each Boston IV lens is made specifically to meet the needs of your prescription and fit your eye perfectly.

Features & Benefits

Boston IV contacts are RGP lenses that are designed to be worn daily. They can last up to a year before they need to be replaced as long as they are properly cleaned and cared for.

RGP lenses like Boston IV contacts are made to order to ensure that each lens perfectly fits your eye. When contacts fit properly, they're much less likely to move around during wear.

Boston IV contacts are custom-made to meet the needs of your prescription, which means they can address nearly every refractive error, including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), presbyopia (blurred near vision), and astigmatism (blurred near and distance vision). To correct these visual impairments, Boston IV contacts come in the following designs: aspheric, bifocal, toric, bi-toric, front toric, and back toric.

Additionally, Boston IV contacts are naturally resistant to deposit buildup. That's because they have zero percent water and are manufactured from a premium RGP material called itafocon B. This material also has high oxygen transmissibility, allowing plenty of oxygen to reach the eye. Our eyes need oxygen to stay moist and healthy.

Boston IV contacts are available in clear, but they also come tinted in shades of Blue or Electric Blue. The tint makes it easier to see your contacts during insertion and removal. It won’t change your natural eye color.

Who They’re For

Boston IV contacts are a good option for people who don't mind going through a period of adaptation to contact lens wear. Because of their high breathability, Boston IV contacts are also great for people who experience dry eyes during lens wear.

Additionally, Boston IV contacts are suitable for people with refractive errors for whom soft lenses don't produce the desired visual acuity.

RGP lenses like Boston IV contacts are also a great choice for those who need vision correction due to irregular corneal conditions, like keratoconus and those resulting from unsuccessful LASIK procedures.

How to Put In Boston IV Contacts

Boston IV contacts are RGP lenses and as such, you should follow the standard procedure for this type of lens. Wash and dry your hands before touching the contacts or your eyes. Scoop your first lens out of the case with the index finger of your dominant hand and rinse it with a multipurpose cleaning solution recommended by your eye care professional (ECP). Inspect the lens for any tears or debris. Hold your eyelid open, stare straight ahead, and gently place the lens on your eye. Blink a few times to center the lens. Repeat for the other lens. Don’t panic if the lens doesn’t feel comfortable immediately. RGP lenses typically take longer to get used to wearing than soft lenses, but regular use is key for comfort.

Boston IV FAQs

How many boxes of Boston IV do I need to buy to last 6 months, or 12 months?

You need 1 box(es) of Boston IV contacts to last you for 6 months. In order to last you for 12 months, you'll need 1 box(es). These amounts pertain to a single eye, so to cover both eyes, double these amounts.

Can you take a nap in Boston IV contacts?

No, you cannot nap in Boston IV lenses. As Boston IV are not approved for overnight wear (a full night's sleep), napping in them for a short period of time is not advisable either, and it can lead to eye-health complications. Napping for any length of time with contacts not designed for such an environment is risky. Choose a lens that is approved for overnight wear and seek guidance from your ECP if this is a requirement for you.

Is ordering Boston IV contact lenses online safe?

Yes, all contact lenses, including Boston IV ordered from Lens.com are FDA-approved, genuine lenses manufactured by top contact lens brands such as Bausch + Lomb and Alcon, and backed by a money-back guarantee. Order and fulfillment processes adhere to mandates set by US federal law, including the requirement to verify valid prescriptions, without exception. We go above and beyond, by making the experience efficient, easy, and pleasant with 24/7/365 customer service and a money-back guarantee.

How long does it take to adjust to wearing Boston IV contacts?

If you're wearing Boston IV for the first time, it can take several days to a couple of weeks for you to adjust to wearing them on a daily basis. Contacts vary from brand to brand in terms of their shape, material, breathability, wetting agents used, and other factors, thus requiring an adjustment period. Rigid/hard lenses can sometimes take longer to adjust to, whereas most contacts in use today employ a soft form of silicone that is typically easy to adjust to.

Can I use my eyeglass prescription for Boston IV contact lenses?

Unfortunately no, you can't use your eyeglass prescription for Boston IV lenses. Your eyeglass prescription only has the power part of the contact lens prescription. In addition to the power, the proper base curve (BC) and diameter (DIA) are needed to order contact lenses. Contact lenses come in different sizes and must be fit to your eye by an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist. As a replacement center, we can only sell you contact lenses that you are already wearing successfully. So ultimately eyeglass prescriptions are not the same as a prescription for Boston IV contacts. See an ECP/optometrist if you're looking for a contact lens prescription and fitting as a first-time-wearer.

Is Boston IV contact lens FDA-approved?

Yes, Boston IV is FDA-approved. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulates all contact lenses as prescription medical devices and thus must go through an approval process, after which they can be legally sold in the US (if approved). Lens.com sells only FDA-approved contact lenses. From lenses to address near, farsightedness, astigmatism, and even cosmetic lenses, our inventory consists only of FDA-approved contacts.

Can I buy Boston IV for someone else?

Yes, you can buy Boston IV contacts online for someone else, for example a child or someone you're assisting with making a purchase. The same simple steps apply. At Lens.com you'll only need to know what contacts you want, their prescription, the contact info of the person's ECP (for prescription verification), and a credit card. We'll do the rest!

Click here, to see further info on how to read your Boston IV contact lens prescription.

How to tell if my Boston IV contacts are inside out?

You will know Boston IV contacts are inside-out if they feel uncomfortable in your eye. An inside-out contact lens will also move too much when you blink, and they may even pop out. Some contacts feature an inside-out mark that can be checked once removed, but this is not the case with all lenses.

Can I be allergic to Boston IV contacts?

Contacts, like Boston IV are made of hypoallergenic materials, meaning the contacts themselves don't usually cause an allergic reaction. In most cases, what causes an allergic reaction is a buildup of contaminants on the contacts. If you experience redness, watering, and other symptoms of a possible allergic reaction, remove your contacts immediately and consult your ECP.

Where can I buy Boston IV contacts near me?

Boston IV contacts are typically available to purchase at your nearest brick-and-mortar eyewear store or ECP's office. However, the lowest prices and largest inventory of these lenses can be found online, such as at Lens.com, where greater volumes and lower overhead can translate into significant savings over store-bought contacts.

Can Boston IV contacts expire?

Like all contact lenses, Boston IV lenses do expire. The expiration date will be stamped on the box itself or on the aluminum fold of the blister pack in either a YYYY-MM or YYYY-MM-DD format. Typically, the expiration date for contacts is several years after the date of packaging.

What is the water content of Boston IV?

Boston IV contacts have a water content of 0%. The higher the water content in a contact lens, the more oxygen reaches the cornea during lens wear. There are other factors at play however so water content alone isn't enough of a factor to judge a lens' performance for a given person. High water content lenses can feel comfortable initially but may dry out over time, but this is not always the case. So it's good to know about the water content of a lens, but it's not everything. Consult your ECP to find out the best options for you.

How should I store my Boston IV contact lenses?

Daily disposable contacts cannot be stored and must be discarded at the end of each day. Even if you wear them for only a few hours one day, you still need to discard them after that use and wear a fresh pair of contacts the next day. 

You may keep weekly contacts in multi-purpose contact solution in a tightly closed contact lens case for up to 2 weeks. 

For monthly replacement lenses you may store them in contact solution in a tightly closed contact lens case for up to 30 days.

Are Boston IV contacts, monthly?

Yes, Boston IV contacts are monthly disposable contacts. They are meant to be worn daily for 30 days, removed, cleaned and stored at night, and disposed of after 30 days to be replaced with a fresh set.

Is Boston IV discontinued?

No, Boston IV contacts have not been discontinued by Polymer Technology. They continue to be produced, marketed, and sold on Lens.com. Typically, if a contact lens ceases to be produced by the manufacturer, we will indicate it clearly on our product page as being a discontinued lens and it won't be an option to purchase them.

Do I need a prescription, or a copy of my prescription in order to buy Boston IV?

Yes, you do require a valid prescription in order to buy Boston IV or any contacts in the United States, per Federal Law. However, at Lens.com having a copy of your prescription in your possession is not required to place an order (though be aware it's something that is owed to you by your ECP once you complete an eye examination so that you can choose where to purchase your contacts). If you don't have a copy in your possession, Lens.com representatives will help verifying your prescription by calling your ECP for you. Provide us with the basic information, sit back, and relax.

Gas permeable lenses

The lenses are are great for someone who has a deep stigmatism. I really appreciate the excellent service that Lens.com provided. They helped me enter my individual prescription, which is much harder than soft contact lenses. The lenses arrived within two weeks and I spent half the price of what I get from optician.
