renu(R) fresh(TM) and renu(R) sensitive(TM) are specially formulated to gently draw tears to lenses to create a cushion of moisture between the contact lens and the eye. Both solutions in the new packaging will soon be available in Japan, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Australia, India, Singapore, mainland China (Note 2) and Korea.

"Bausch + Lomb's portfolio of multi-purpose solutions offers clearer product choice to contact lens wearers who have specific lens care needs," said David Edwards, Corporate Vice President & President, Bausch + Lomb Asia Pacific, "By understanding our consumers better, we can offer products which are more attuned to the needs of specific groups of contact lens wearers."

As part of the new packaging, Bausch + Lomb also introduced a clear bottle design for renu(R) fresh(TM) which allows users to clearly see exactly how much solution is remaining and appreciate the purity of the solution from outside. The bottle uses PET, a recyclable plastic material that provides consumers with an environmental friendly choice.
