Product Information

Bausch + Lomb's SofLens 38 (6 pack) contact lenses combine a high-performance design with a time-tested lens material to provide crisp, clear vision and long-lasting comfort.

Features & Benefits

SofLens 38 are 1-2 week contacts that can be worn daily or continuously for up to 7 days. Ask your eye care professional (ECP) for the replacement schedule that works best for you. When prescribed for frequent or planned replacement, SofLens 38 contacts need to be cleaned, rinsed, and disinfected each time they are removed. They also need to be discarded after the recommended wearing period prescribed by your ECP and replaced with a fresh set of contacts.

SofLens 38 contact lenses are made of a highly breathable, time-tested lens material called polymacon, which provides crisp, clear vision and all-day comfort. Polymacon is also resistant to protein and deposit buildup, which would otherwise negatively impact your lens-wearing experience and eye health.

The extremely low center thickness of SofLens 38 contact lenses also allows plenty of oxygen to pass through the lens and into the eye to keep it moist, clear, and healthy-looking.

SofLens 38 contact lenses also have the added benefit of having a visibility tint. This tint allows you to easily locate the lenses in your lens case, and it won’t change the color of your eye. Plus, SofLens 38 contacts come with an inversion indicator so that you can easily tell if they’re inside out. Both of these features make SofLens 38 contacts easy to handle and insert.

SofLens 38 contact lenses are available in 3 base curves in prescription powers ranging from +4.00D to -9.00D.

Who They’re For

SofLens 38 contact lenses are ideal for anyone who has a busy lifestyle and needs a flexible wearing schedule.

SofLens 38 contact lenses are also a great option for people with a prescription for nearsightedness or farsightedness and are looking for a convenient 1-2 week lens with advanced features to ensure crisp, clear vision and long-lasting comfort.

Don't let deposits or protein buildup get in the way of you and clear vision. Talk to your ECP today about trying SofLens 38 contact lenses from Lens.com.

How To Put In SofLens 38

SofLens 38 are soft contacts and as such, you should follow the standard procedure for that type of lens. Start by washing your hands with a mild soap, then dry them with a lint-free towel. Scoop your first lens out of the case with your index finger of your dominant hand. Rinse it with a cleaning solution that’s specially formulated for soft contacts. Inspect the lens for any tears or debris, and make sure it’s not inside-out. Using the middle finger of your dominant hand, pull down your lower eyelid. If necessary, use the middle finger of your non-dominant hand to pull your upper eyelid. Look upward and gently put the lens on your eye. Blink a few times to center the lens. Repeat this with the other lens. If SofLens 38 are inserted properly, your vision should be clear and your eyes should feel comfortable all day

SofLens 38 (Optima FW) FAQs

Are SofLens 38 (Optima FW) contact lenses available in different prescriptions?
Yes, SofLens 38 (Optima FW) contact lenses are available in a wide range of prescriptions to accommodate various vision needs. Whether you have nearsightedness or farsightedness, there is likely a SofLens 38 option suitable for you.

Can you take a nap in SofLens 38 (Optima FW) contacts?

Yes, you can nap in SofLens 38 (Optima FW) lenses. As SofLens 38 (Optima FW) is approved for overnight wear (a full night's sleep), napping in them for a short period of time is not a problem. As always though, make sure you're OK to do so with your ECP even if they are technically approved as every individual's situation is different. Whether sleeping overnight or napping with contacts, this is an environment that reduces the amount of oxygen that reaches your eye, hence the precautions you need to take in terms of choosing the right lens.

What SofLens 38 (Optima FW) rebates are available?

SofLens 38 (Optima FW) contacts are regularly eligible for rebates exclusively on Lens.com. With Lens.com you can qualify for rebates with as few as an order of 4 and sometimes 8 boxes, unlike the 12 or more minimum purchase that's often required at other retailers. Refer to our regularly updated rebate pages or contact lens product pages to see how much the rebate amount is. Rebate offers change from time to time.

How do I check the status of my SofLens 38 (Optima FW) rebates?

You can check the status of your SofLens 38 (Optima FW) rebate by going to the Rebate Center in your account, located in the Customer Service menu. If you need further assistance, please contact our Customer Service Department via phone (1-800 LENS.COM, 24/7) or Live Chat.

Is ordering SofLens 38 (Optima FW) contact lenses online safe?

Yes, all contact lenses, including SofLens 38 (Optima FW) 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.

Can I use my eyeglass prescription for SofLens 38 (Optima FW) contact lenses?

Unfortunately no, you can't use your eyeglass prescription for SofLens 38 (Optima FW) 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 SofLens 38 (Optima FW) contacts. See an ECP/optometrist if you're looking for a contact lens prescription and fitting as a first-time-wearer.

How long does it take to adjust to wearing SofLens 38 (Optima FW) contacts?

If you're wearing SofLens 38 (Optima FW) 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.

Is SofLens 38 (Optima FW) contact lens FDA-approved?

Yes, SofLens 38 (Optima FW) 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).

Love these lenses because they aren't as fragile

I have been using these for years and I like there durability.. I don't have comfort issues with them but I hear some of the more permeable ones are more comfortable.. I have no complaints though. Awesome easy process with lens.com. The free case is no good though..:) Like the plastic snapover ones, use less solution and easier to use.

Lens dry out so quickly

I usually use accuve osyas but wanted to try a more affordable brand. Well let me tell you these lense dry out so quick and are constantly moving in your eye. They said it suppose to last for two weeks, but by the end of the first it feels like the lenses are scratching my eyes. I would not recommend the lenses.
