BAUSCH + LOMB
1853: A Partnership Formed in Rochester, NY
When John Jacob Bausch needed more money to keep his small optical goods shop
going, he borrowed $60 from his good friend, Henry Lomb. Bausch promised that if the
business grew, Lomb would be made a full partner. The business grew and the
partnership was formed.
1903: A Leader in Optical Science
With a focus on optical products that required a high degree of manufacturing precision,
by 1903 the firm had been issued patents for microscopes, binoculars, and even a
camera shutter based on the eye's reaction to light.
Through the Years: A History of Ground-breaking Technology
Bausch+Lomb produced the first optical quality glass made in America, developed
ground-breaking sunglasses for the military in World War I, and created the lenses used
on the cameras that took the first satellite pictures of the moon. In 1971, Bausch +
Lomb introduced the first mass-produced soft contact lenses and is still one of the
leading global providers of eye care products.
Today: A Legacy of Innovation, Quality & Craftsmanship
Throughout its 168-year history, Bausch + Lomb has remained focused on introducing
product innovations that advance eye health, including contact lenses and solutions,
eye vitamins, eye drops and pharmaceuticals, and surgical lenses and devices.
