SilSoft Pediatric Patient Assistance Program

The SilSoft® brand of contact lens is the leading treatment option for pediatric patients recovering from cataract surgery. The SilSoft material and customized design permit the eye to breathe and deliver outstanding vision, necessary elements for healthy development of babies' eyes.

Bausch & Lomb developed the SilSoft Pediatric Patient Assistance Program to provide free lenses to families at or below the federal poverty level. We will leave it up to the discretion of the individual doctor to determine the financial and medical needs of the patient and family.
