Bausch & Lomb Unveils FogShield Sport(TM), an Anti-Fog Treatment for Sports
Goggles That Works

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Skiers, snowboarders and other outdoor
sports enthusiasts in North America have a new solution to one of the biggest
problems they encounter -- fogging of goggles and face shields. Bausch &
Lomb's new FogShield Sport(TM) pre-moistened towelettes simultaneously prevent
fog from forming on goggles for eight hours or more and help keep lenses clean
with just one application.

"There's a solution for staying warm, a solution for staying dry, but there
haven't been many solutions for keeping goggles fog-free," said John Stewart,
general manager, Vision Accessories, Bausch & Lomb. "FogShield Sport provides
an easy-to-use, affordable anti-fog system to help prevent fogging that starts
working immediately to provide clear vision."

Packaged in small foil pouches that are about the size of hand-wipes,
FogShield Sport fits effortlessly in a pocket or bag. FogShield Sport costs
about $2 per application.

Athletes at all ability levels know that the wrong combination of temperature,
activity and humidity causes protective goggles to fog up, making it virtually
impossible to see when conditions align to create fog. To provide the highest
level of fog prevention, FogShield Sport uses a specially developed chemical
composition created by a precise mix of ingredients.

"FogShield Sport works through a unique formula that redistributes moisture,
which continuously creates an invisible layer of protection from fog," said
Dr. Jay Kunzler, director, department of Polymer Chemistry, Bausch & Lomb.

FogShield Sport's proprietary technology was originally formulated to work in
the harshest industrial settings. It has been tried, tested and proven on
professionals ranging from firefighters to hazmat technicians. The product's
effectiveness in eliminating fog in goggles was previously recognized by the
International Association of Hazardous Materials Technicians as the Hazardous
Materials Response Product of the Year.

"Since the product has proven extremely effective in anti-fog protection for
firefighters and hazmat professionals in industrial environments, we believe
it will be effective for skiers, snowboarders, paintballers and scuba divers,"
added Stewart.
