Chances are good you can't get your hands on Bausch + Lomb Inc.'s new Ultra monthly contact lens.
The eye-care company has only one manufacturing line producing them, at its North Goodman Street plant. The lenses are available only in the United States, and even there not nationwide. And demand so far is outstripping supply.
"We're selling every lens we can make," said J. Michael Pearson, CEO of B+L parent company Valeant Pharmaceutics International Inc.
But all of that is changing. B+L and parent company Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. on Monday cut the ribbon on what will become a major manufacturing addition to the company's Rochester plant.
Along with the two Ultra manufacturing lines being installed there, which will bring roughly 120 jobs, B+L will put in a third and fourth, which will mean an additional 120 positions atop those, Pearson said Monday during a ceremonial ribbon cutting.
Two of the lines are expected to be up and operational by the end of 2015. The company does not yet have a timeframe for the third and fourth Ultra lines.
B+L Vision Care general manager Mark McKenna said Ultra should be available nationwide by early 2015.
And the silicone hydrogel monthly lens is only the first of an array of Ultra lens products B+L is launching, including toric and multifocal lenses, he said.
"It's not just the one product," McKenna said. "It's a matter of how quickly we can ramp up."
