Now, it is quite possible that if you live in another part of the world, these particular lenses may not be available, but since they are in the UK, I have referred to them in my posts.

Sorry, I did not mean to imply that ALL Bausch & Lomb lenses were made from Hilafilcon B. The message I was trying to make was that the Daily Disposable Lens (Soflens Daily) I used was made of Hilafilcon B and that Bausch & Lomb also produce a Monthly Disposable lens (Soflens 59 Monthly Disposable) made of Hilafilcon B.

The Hilafilcon B material is not as far as I am aware, a Silicone Hydrogel. The Balafilcon A lens to which you refer is a Silicone Hydrogel lens. I don't know what the Polymacon material is exactly.

Hmm. I checked those links and they are the same material in the same percentage, too. I guess, like you say, it must be a UK thing. Ragnarox got his/her information from lens.com which is an American company. I'm glad you added that post to clarify your earlier one.
