PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS


(a) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

Bausch & Lomb Incorporated is a world leader in the
development, manufacture and marketing of products and services
for the personal health, medical, biomedical and optics fields.

Bausch & Lomb was incorporated in the State of New York in
1908 to carry on a business which was established in 1853. Its
principal executive offices are located in Rochester, New York.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms "Bausch & Lomb"
and "Company" as used herein refer to Bausch & Lomb Incorporated
and its consolidated subsidiaries. Highlights of the general
development of the business of Bausch & Lomb Incorporated during
1993 are discussed below.

The Company experienced good progress in 1993. Sales
increased to $1,872 million, 10% above the 1992 amount of $1,709
million. Including restructuring charges in 1993, earnings
amounted to $156.5 million or $2.60 per share. Excluding these
charges, earnings advanced to $193.0 million, or $3.21 per share,
a 13% increase over the 1992 amounts of $171.4 million and $2.84
per share.

(b) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

Information concerning sales, business segment earnings and
identifiable assets attributable to each of Bausch & Lomb's
reportable industry segments is set forth on pages 3440 and 51-52
of the Annual Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

(c) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Bausch & Lomb's operations have been classified into two
industry segments: Healthcare and Optics. Below is a description
of each segment and information to the extent that it is material
to an understanding of the Company's business taken as a whole.
In addition, pages 22-32 of the Annual Report are incorporated
herein by reference.

Healthcare

The Healthcare segment includes personal health, medical and
biomedical products. In the personal health area, major lines
include solutions used for the care of contact lenses and for the
relief of eye irritation, contact lens accessories, Clear Choice
mouthwash, certain over-the-counter pharmaceutical products, the
Interplak power toothbrushes and other oral care products, and
Curel and Soft Sense skin care products. Medical products include
contact lenses and lens materials, prescription drugs, the Miracle-
Ear line of hearing aids and Steri-Oss dental implants.
Biomedical products include purpose-bred laboratory animals for
biomedical research, products derived from specific pathogenfree
eggs, and a variety of other biotechnical and professional
services provided to the scientific research community.

The Company markets its personal health products in the U.S.
to practitioners through its own sales force and through drug
stores, food stores, and mass merchandisers. Personal health
products are also marketed through an extensive international
marketing organization. Distribution in many other countries is
accomplished through distributors or dealers. Medical products
are
marketed through the Company's sales force to eyecare and dental
care practitioners, independent optical laboratories, and
hospitals. Hearing aids are distributed through the Miracle-Ear
franchise system. Sales to pharmacies are handled by drug
wholesalers, while marketing of medical products outside the U.S.
is accomplished through the Company's extensive international
marketing organization. In some countries, distribution is
handled through dealers or distributors. Biomedical products are
sold primarily through the Company's sales force worldwide.

The Company acquired Steri-Oss, Inc., a California
manufacturer of dental implants, during the first quarter of 1993.
The breadth and quality of its line of coated and uncoated
titanium implants has earned Steri-Oss an excellent reputation
among dental professionals.

During the second quarter of 1993, Bausch & Lomb acquired the
Curel and Soft Sense lines of skin care products from S. C.
Johnson and Son, Inc. These lines are expected to benefit from
the Company's marketing and distribution expertise.

The acquisition of Dahlberg, Inc. during the third quarter of
1993 expanded Bausch & Lomb's participation in the hearing care
field. Dahlberg is the maker of the Miracle-Ear line of hearing
aids, a widely recognized hearing aid brand name, which has over
1,000 franchised locations in the U.S.

During the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company received
licenses to product several generic pharmaceuticals in its state-
of-the-art, aseptic manufacturing plant in Tampa, Florida.
Additional approvals are anticipated during 1994.

The Company introduced the Occasions line of contact lenses
in 1993. Occasions are worn only once before being discarded and
will be especially beneficial in selected situations when contact
lenses are preferred over spectacles.

Vivivit Q10 vitamins were introduced in Germany by the Company's
Dr. Mann
Pharma subsidiary during the second half
of 1993. Favorable trade acceptance of this product led to a
successful launch.


Optics

The principal products of the Company's Optics segment
include sunglasses, binoculars, riflescopes, telescopes and
optical thin film applications and products.

Optical products are distributed worldwide through
distributors, wholesalers, manufacturers' representatives, and
independent sales representatives. These products are also
distributed through the Company's sales force to optical stores,
department stores, catalog showrooms, mass merchandisers, sporting
goods stores and, in the case of optical thin films, to a variety
of industrial customers.

During 1993, the Company launched the Ray-Ban Survivors line
of sunglasses. These products feature DiamondHard lens coatings
which render glass lenses more scratch resistant. These sunglasses
met with good acceptance among active, outdoor oriented consumers.

The Company also introduced the Bausch & Lomb Elite riflescope
during the
year. It features multi-coated optics, durable construction and
proven accuracy. It is expected to meet with good aceptance among
consumers who demand the highest quality riflescopes.


Raw Materials and Parts; Customers

Materials and components in both of the Company's industry
segments are purchased from a wide variety of suppliers and the
loss of any one supplier
would not adversely affect the Company's business to a significant
extent. No material part of the Company's business in either of
its industry segments is dependent upon a single or a few
customers.


Patents, Trademarks & Licenses

While in the aggregate the Company's patents are of material
importance to its businesses taken as a whole, no single patent or
patent license or group of patents or patent licenses relating to
any particular product or process is material to either industry
segment. The Company actively pursues technology development and
acquisition as a means to enhance its competitive position in its
business segments.

In the healthcare segment, Bausch & Lomb has developed
significant consumer, eye care professional and dental care
professional recognition of products sold under the Bausch & Lomb,
Sensitive Eyes, ReNu, Boston, SeeQuence, Medalist, The Boston
Lens, Optima, Soflens, Charles River, VAF/Plus and Interplak
trademarks. Bausch & Lomb, Ray-Ban, Wayfarer and Bushnell are
trademarks receiving substantial consumer recognition in the
optics segment.


Seasonality and Working Capital

Some seasonality exists for the Interplak line of power
toothbrushes in the Healthcare segment and for sunglasses and
sports optics products in the Optics segment. During some
periods, the accumulation of inventories of such products in
advance of expected shipments reflects the seasonal nature of the
products. In general, the working capital practices followed in
each of the Company's industry segments are typical of those
businesses.


Competition

Each industry segment is highly competitive in both U.S. and
non-U.S. markets. In both of its segments, Bausch & Lomb competes
on the basis of product performance, quality, technology, price,
service, warranty and reliability. In the Optics segment, the
Company also competes on the basis of style.


Research and Development

Research and development constitutes an important part of
Bausch & Lomb's activities. In 1993, the Company's research and
development expenditures totaled $58 million, as compared to $53
million in 1992 and $49 million in 1991.


Environment

Although Bausch & Lomb is unable to predict what legislation
or regulations may be adopted or enacted in the future with
respect to environmental protection and waste disposal, existing
legislation and regulations have had no material adverse effect on
its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment for
environmental control facilities were not material during 1993 and
are not anticipated to be material in 1994 or 1995.


Number of Employees

Bausch & Lomb employed approximately 15,900 persons as of December
25,
1993.

(d) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS
AND EXPORT
SALES

Information as to sales, operating earnings and identifiable
assets attributable to each of Bausch & Lomb's geographic regions,
and the amount of export sales in the aggregate, is set forth on
page 51 of the Annual Report and is incorporated herein by
reference.


ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The principal manufacturing, distribution and production
facilities and other important physical properties of Bausch &
Lomb at March 1, 1994 are listed hereafter and grouped under the
principal industry segment to which they relate. Certain
properties relate to more than one industry segment. Except where

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

1. In June 1990, the Company was served with six "toxic
tort" suits filed against it and approximately 80 other defendants
in the 21st Judicial District Court of Louisiana. These suits,
which have been certified as a class action, alleged claims for
personal injury, property damage and "fear of cancer" from waste
allegedly generated by the Company and others and transported to
an oil reclamation site in Louisiana. Each suit alleges joint and
several liability and claims actual and exemplary damages
exceeding 10% of the current assets of the Company on a
consolidated basis, the Company believes that if its waste is or
was present at the site, such waste would have amounted to
approximately 0.1% of the site's total waste, and that its share
of liability, if any, would be de minimis relative to other
defendants' potential liability and that is is not material to the
financial condition of the Company. On January 25, 1993, the
Company and ten other defendants were dismissed from the action
without prejudice, by a motion of the plaintiffs. It is probable
that either the plaintiffs or one or more of the defendants will
seek to bring the Company back into the proceedings.

2. Since August 1993, the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary, Dahlberg, Inc., has been served with seven lawsuits by
individuals seeking to represent a class of consumers, including
one action in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of California, five actions in the Fourth Judicial
District for the State of Minnesota and one in the Circuit Court,
Barbour County, Alabama. Each action has been brought on behalf
of alleged purchasers of Miracle-Ear hearing aids equipped with
the Clarifier circuitry, which were
manufactured and distributed by Dahlberg. The complaints allege
that Dahlberg induced plaintiffs and others similarly situated to
purchase hearing aids through allegedly false and misleading
statements concerning the performance capabilities of the
Clarifier circuitry. Plaintiffs allege fraud, negligence, and
violation of federal and state statutes and are seeking
compensatory and punitive damages in an unstated amount.
Dahlberg is vigorously contesting the claims of the plaintiffs,
including their claim to be representatives of a class.

3. In January 1994, the Department of Justice, acting on
behalf of the Federal Trade Commission, commenced an action in the
United States District Court for the District of Minnesota against
Dahlberg, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The FTC
is seeking civil penalties and injunctive relief, claiming that
certain intended use claims in advertisements for hearing aids
equipped with the Clarifier circuitry violated a 1976 consent
order between the FTC and Dahlberg. The action seeks penalties of
up to $10,000 for each publication of the advertisements.
Dahlberg is vigorously contesting both the FTC's authority to
regulate intended use claims for hearing aids and the allegation
that the subject advertising violated the 1976 consent order.

THE EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Executive Incentive Compensation Plan is established to
provide incentive compensation in the form of a supplement to the
base salaries of those officers, managers, and key employees who
contribute significantly to the growth and success of the
Company's business; to attract and to retain, in the employ of the
Company, individuals of outstanding ability; and to align the
interests of those who hold positions of major responsibility in
the Company with the interests of the Company's shareholders.

2.0 ELIGIBILITY

Those members of the executive management group whose duties and
responsibilities contribute significantly to the growth and
success of the Company's business are eligible. This generally
includes all positions in the midmanagement/technical band and
above, in Rochester based divisions or functions. The plan may be
adopted by nonRochester based divisions.

The participant must be on the payroll in an eligible position
before July 1 of the plan year, to be eligible for an award.

3.0 DEFINITIONS

3.1 A standard incentive award has been established for
each salary grade or job band and is expressed as a percentage of
period salary (i.e., eligible base salary earnings for the year).
Exhibit I defines standard percentage schedules.

The standard incentive award is the award payout level which over
time, participants, units and the corporation should average, and
will be the amount which will be used for financial accrual
purposes during the incentive year.

3.2 An approved incentive is the incentive which has
been approved by the Chairman of the Board of directors and the
Committee On Management of the Board to be paid by the company to
the participant.

Actual incentive award amounts, based upon individual and
organizational performance, can vary from 0% for unacceptable
performance, or from a minimum of 25% to a maximum of 175% of
standard. In any event, an award cannot exceed the maximum.


4.0 MEASURES OF PERFORMANCE

Each organizational unit and eligible participant will set
performance measures. These will be applied for incentive plan
purposes as follows:




Corporation Unit Individual


Senior Staff Officers 100%
Other Staff Officers and
Corporate Staff Participants 50% 50%
Division Officers 25% 75%
Division Participants 50% 50%





4.1 The "Organizational Performance Management System" (OPMS) has
been established to evaluate corporate, division, and profit
center performance for Executive Incentive Compensation Plan
purposes.

The OPMS is based upon specific organizational objectives. These
objectives are to be agreed upon at the beginning of the plan
year. They must be measurable financial categories such as sales,
operating earnings, earnings per share, DSO, inventory turns, or
quantifiable strategic goals, for example product development,
products introduction market share. Performance levels for 5, 4,
3, 2, and 1 ratings are to be defined at the beginning of the plan
year for each goal. There will be a pre-determined weighting among
the chosen objectives reflecting the priority of those objectives.

In general, it is expected that the calculated organizational
results will determine the performance rating for the unit.
However, after calculation of year end OPMS results, the CEO and
COO may make a modification of +20% to the calculated rating, if
performance is not accurately reflected in performance measures
(i.e., due to general economic, industry change, corporate
strategy change, natural disaster). Adjustments must be made in 5%
increments.

4.2 The "Individual Performance Management System" (IPMS) for
use with the Executive Incentive Plan will consist of five or
fewer specific individual objectives. These objectives are to be
agreed upon at the beginning of the Plan year. They must be
measurable and generally within the participant's control.
Further, there will be a predetermined weighting among the
objectives reflecting the priority of these objectives.
Individual performance will be determined by the participants'
supervisor and approved by the Division/Group Presidents or
appropriate corporate staff function head.


In general, it is expected that the calculated individual results
will determine the performance rating. However, the unit or
functional officer may make an adjustment of +20% to the
calculated ratings if performance is not accurately reflected in
performance measures. Adjustments must be made in 5% increments.


5.0 DEFINITION OF PERFORMANCE

The following "definitions of performance" are to be utilized for
the plan:




PERFORMANCE
DESIGNATION DEFINITION


5 (maximum) Extraordinary performance
where the objective was exceeded
by a wide margin.
4 (high standard) Excellent performance where
the objective was exceeded. 3
(standard) Successful performance
where the objective was well met.
2 (low standard) Performance fell short of
goal.
1 (minimum) Performance was well below
expectations.




6.0 PROCEDURE FOR BONUS CALCULATION AND APPROVAL

Each participant's total bonus will be calculated as follows:

1) The standard bonus (see Section 3.1) is divided into
appropriate corporation/unit-individual components (as defined in
Section 4.0).

2) For the organizational components;

A. The final rating is converted to a percentage
factor (see Attachment I conversion table).

B. The factor is multiplied by the standard
organizational bonus.

C. There is no organizational award granted if final
rating is below
2.0.

3) For the individual component;

A. The final rating is converted to a percentage
factor (see Attachment III conversion table).

B. The factor is multiplied by the standard
individual bonus.

C. There is no individual award granted if final
rating is below 2.0.

4) To calculate the total bonus, the components are added.

The Division Presidents will submit their recommendations for
individual incentive awards to their immediate superiors (in some
cases only the Chief Operating Officer; in others Group Presidents
and COO). In all instances the recommendations for the Corporate
awards will be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer for
concurrence.

Corporate function heads will submit their recommendations for
individual awards to their immediate superior who will then submit
the recommendations to the Chief Executive Officer for
concurrence.


7.0 REMOVAL, TRANSFERS AND TERMINATIONS

7.1 Participants whose employment with the Company is
terminated
because of retirement, death, or disability:

- - After the close of the plan year, but prior to the
actual distribution of awards for such year, may be awarded a full
incentive award for the plan year. In the case of death, such
payment will be made to a beneficiary.

- - After the beginning, but prior to the end of the plan
year, may receive an incentive award for that year based on a
prorated calculation reflecting their employment with the Company
and participation in the Plan during year. Awards will not be
paid for any period less than six months participation in the plan
year.

7.2 Participants who are terminated in the fourth quarter
of the year due to a re-structuring which results in job
elimination, may receive an incentive award for that year based
on a prorated calculation reflecting their employment with the
Company and participation in the Plan during that year.

7.3 Participants transferred during the plan year within
the Company will be awarded an incentive payment through the
division in which the participant is employed at the end of the
plan year. It will be based on the contribution made in each
division in which the participant was employed during the year.
To this end a written evaluation and rating must be completed by
the participant's superior upon transfer. The awarding division
will be charged for the full amount of the bonus.

7.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a special prorated
incentive award shall be paid to participants if, during the
period between the date of a change in control and the next award
date determined pursuant to Section 10:

1) the participant's employment is terminated
involuntarily other than for good cause, or

2) the Plan is terminated.

The amount of the award shall be calculated as a percentage of
period earnings based upon standard performance and prorated
through the date of termination of the participant or the Plan,
as applicable.

A change of control of the Company is defined as follows:

A. The acquisition by any individual, entity or group
(within the meaning of Section 13 (d) (3) or 14 (d) (2) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act")) (a "Person") of beneficial ownership (within the
meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20%
or more of either (i) the
then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the
"Outstanding Company Common Stock") or (ii) the combined voting
power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the
"Outstanding Company Voting Securities"); provided, however, that
the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of
Control: (i) any acquisition directly from the Company (excluding
an acquisition by virtue of the exercise of a conversion privilege
unless the security being so converted was itself acquired
directly from the Company), (ii) any acquisition by the Company,
(iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related
trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation
controlled by the Company or (iv) any acquisition by any
corporation pursuant to a reorganization, merger or consolidation,
if, following such reorganization, merger or consolidation, the
conditions described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of paragraph C
of this Section 7.0 are satisfied; or

B. Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the
Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board" and, as of the date
hereof, the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute
at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any
individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose
election, or nomination for election by the Company's
shareholders, was approved by a vote of at
least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent
Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member
of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such
individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result
of either an actual or threatened election contest (as such terms
are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the
Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of
proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the
Board; or

C. Approval by the shareholders of the Company of
a reorganization, merger, binding share exchange or consolidation,
in each case, unless, following such reorganization, merger,
binding share exchange or
consolidation, (i) more than 60% of, respectively, the then
outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting
from such reorganization, merger, binding share exchange or
consolidation and the combined voting power of the then
outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors is then beneficially owned,
directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the
individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners,
respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and
Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such
reorganization, merger, binding share exchange or consolidation in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately
prior to such reorganization, merger, binding share exchange or
consolidation, of the Outstanding Company Stock and Outstanding

trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such
reorganization, merger, binding share exchange or consolidation
and any Person beneficially owning, immediately prior to such

respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the
corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, binding
share exchange or consolidation or the combined voting power of
the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors and (iii)
at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of
the corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger,
binding share exchange or consolidation were members of the
Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial
agreement providing for such reorganization, merger, binding share
exchange or consolidation; or

D. Approval by the shareholders of the Company of (i) a
complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or (ii) the
sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company, other than to a corporation, with respect
to which following such sale or other disposition, (a) more than
60% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock
of such corporation and the combined voting power of the then
outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors is then beneficially owned,
directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the
individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners,
respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and
Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such
sale or other
disposition in substantially the same proportion as their
ownership, immediately prior to such sale or other disposition, of
the same Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company
Voting Securities, as the case may be, (b) no Person (excluding
the Company and any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of
the Company or such corporation and any Person beneficially
owning, immediately prior to such sale or other disposition,
directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the Outstanding Company
Common Stock or Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case
may be) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of,
respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of such
corporation and the combined voting power of the then outstanding
voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally
in the election of directors and (c) at least a majority of the
members of the board of directors of such corporation were members
of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial
agreement or action of the Board providing for such sale or other
disposition of assets of the Company.

7.5 Participants who leave the company or are terminated
prior to the actual payment of award for reasons other than
retirement, death, disability, termination in the fourth quarter
due to a restructuring which results in job elimination, change in
control, will forfeit the award for that plan year.


8.0 INCENTIVE AWARDS THROUGH CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS

Incentive awards may be made to participants who do not meet the
six month
eligibility requirements only if the following conditions are met.

(1) Award must be made through contractual agreement
made upon hiring, re-assignment, or commencement of special

writing by Division President, Corporate Compensation, Corporate
V.P. Human Resources, and normal 1 over 1 approval matrix.


9.0 ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

The Committee On Management of the Board of Directors reserves the
right to interpret, amend, modify or terminate the existing
program in accordance with changing conditions. Further, no
participant eligible to receive any payments shall have any rights
to pledge, assign, or otherwise dispose of unpaid portion of such
payments. The Committee On Management is responsible for overall
administration of the Plan. It will determine who will receive
incentives and the amount of each incentive. It may also review
the standards and objectives for a particular year. The Committee
On Management may change or terminate the Plan at any time and no
person has any rights with respect to an incentive award until it
has been paid.


10.0 INCENTIVE AWARD DISTRIBUTION

EXHIBIT (10)-h

LONG TERM PERFORMANCE STOCK PLAN - I


I. PURPOSE

The Long Term Performance Stock Plan - I (the "Plan") is designed
to advance the interests of Bausch & Lomb Incorporated (the
"Company") and its shareholders by (i) providing incentives for
those key executives who have overall responsibility for the long
term performance of the Company; (ii) reinforcing corporate long
term financial goals; (iii) providing competitive levels of long
term compensation for key executives; and (iv) aligning management
and shareholder interests.


II. ELIGIBILITY

Participation in the Plan is limited to senior officers with
overall responsibility for the long term performance of the
Company. The Committee on Management of the Board of Directors
(the "Committee") will designate executives to participate in the
Plan ("Participants").


III. AWARD CYCLES

Award cycles ("Award Cycles") will be measured over three year
periods, with the performance award, if any, for each Award Cycle
to be paid early in the fourth year. There will be a series of
overlapping Award cycles with a new Award Cycle starting and an
old Award Cycle finishing each year.


IV. PERFORMANCE GOALS

The chief executive officer of the Company, with approval of the
Committee, will establish the performance goals for each Award
Cycle, ensuring that the goals are equitable and compatible with
the Company's major business objectives. The performance goals
for each Award Cycle will be based upon a matrix of sales growth
and return on equity ("ROE") for the Company.


V. AWARDS

If the performance goals of the Company are achieved for an Award
Cycle, Participants in the Plan will be eligible for awards which
are calculated using an adjusted salary midpoint equal to the
Participant's salary midpoint in effect in the first year of the
Award Cycle multiplied times 110% ("Adjusted Salary Midpoint").
The Adjusted Salary Midpoint is then multiplied by 50% to
calculate the standard award ("Standard Award") for each salary
grade. If a Participant's salary grade changes in the course of
an Award Cycle, the Participant's Standard Award will be adjusted
using the Adjusted Salary Midpoint for the new grade level which
was in effect during the first year of that Award Cycle.


Depending upon the level of performance achieved by the Company,
the amount of a Participant's actual award will range from 50% to
200% of the Standard Award (the "Award"). Awards paid pursuant to
this Plan will consist of cash and Bausch & Lomb Class B Stock
granted pursuant to the 1990 Stock Incentive Plan or any successor
plan (the "Stock Plan").


VI. PERFORMANCE UNITS

At the February meeting of the Committee following the
commencement of the Award Cycle, each Participant will receive
performance units ("Performance Units") equal to the number of
shares of Class B Stock which, as of the date of such meeting of
the Committee, have an aggregate fair market value (as determined
under the Stock Plan) equal to 50% of each Participant's Standard
Award. During the Award Cycle, Participants will receive
quarterly cash payments on their Performance Units equal to the
dividends which would be payable on a like number of shares of
Class B Stock. Participant's Standard Award calculation changes
because of a salary grade change in the course of an Award Cycle,
the number of Performance Units will be adjusted accordingly.


VII. PAYOUTS

At the end of each Award Cycle, the Standard Award will be
adjusted by the Committee to reflect sales growth and ROE
performance on the applicable payout matrix to determine the
amount of the Award payable to each Participant. The Award
payable to a Participant may also be modified by the Committee if
the Award does not accurately reflect performance due to general
economic conditions, industry changes, corporate strategy changes,
natural disasters or any similar condition. One half of that
amount shall be paid in cash. The Participant will also receive
shares of Class B Stock(pursuant to the Stock Plan) equal to the
number of Performance Units granted to the Participant; provided,
however, that if the Award is based upon a percentage which is
more than or less than 100% of the Standard Award, the number of
shares of Class B Stock to be granted will be adjusted up or down
by a like percentage. There will be no adjustments in the number
of shares of Class B Stock for fluctuations up or down in the fair
market value of Class B Stock from the date of grant of
Performance Units at the beginning of the Award Cycle to the date
of grant of the Class B Stock, if any, after the Award Cycle.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if a
Participant's performance results in calculation of an Award which
would be less than 50% of the Standard Award, the Participant will
nonetheless be entitled to a minimum grant of Class B Stock equal
to 50% of the Performance Units granted to the Participant.

Whether or not an Award is paid for an Award Cycle, all
Performance Units granted hereunder for an Award Cycle shall
expire at the end of the Award Cycle,
and Participants shall have no further rights with respect to such
Units, except to the extent that their performance entitles them
to an Award. Performance Units shall not give Participants any
rights under the Stock Plan maintained by the Company.


VIII. DEFERRAL

Any or all of the cash portion of an Award may be deferred, at the
option of the Participant, into the Company's Deferred
Compensation Plan. Notice of such a deferral must be given to the
Company at least 18 months prior to the end of each Award Cycle
for which deferral is requested.


IX. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

If the Participant's employment with the Company terminates before
the end of any Award Cycle due to death, disability, or
retirement, the Participant or his/her beneficiary is entitled to
a pro rata share of any Award paid at the end of the Award Cycle,
unless the Committee, upon the recommendation of the Chief
Executive Officer, decides that a prorated Award should be paid
prior to the end of the Award Cycle. If the Participant's
employment with the Company terminates before the end of any Award
Cycle for any other reason, the Participant's Performance Units
shall be forfeited and the Participant shall not be entitled to
any Award hereunder.


X. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

The Committee is responsible for the overall administration of the
Plan. The Committee will, by formal resolution: 1) approve the
Performance Goals for the Award Cycle at the beginning of each
Award Cycle; 2) set new or adjust previously set performance goals
as appropriate to reflect major unforeseen events; and 3)
administer the Plan in all respects to carry out its purposes and
objectives including, but not limited to, responding to changes in
tax laws, regulations or rulings, changes in accounting principles
or practices, mergers,
acquisitions or divestitures, major technical innovations, or
extraordinary, nonrecurring, or unusual items, to preserve the
integrity of the Plan's objectives. The Committee reserves the
right, in its discretion, to pay any Awards hereunder entirely in
cash. The effective date of each Award Cycle is January 1 of the
first year of the performance period.


XI. RECAPITALIZATION

In the event there is any recapitalization in the form of a stock
dividend, distribution, split, subdivision or combination of shares
of common stock of the Company, resulting in an increase or
decrease in the number of common shares outstanding, the number of
Performance Units then granted under the Plan shall be increased or
decreased proportionately, as the case may be.


XII. REORGANIZATION

If, pursuant to any reorganization, sale or exchange of assets,
consolidation or merger, outstanding Class B Stock is or would be
exchanged for other securities of the Company or of another company
which is a party to such transaction, or for property, any grant of
Performance Units under the Plan theretofore granted shall, subject
to the provisions of this Plan for making Awards, apply to the
securities or property into which the Class B Stock covered thereby
would have been
changed or for which such Class B Stock would have been exchanged
had such Class B Stock been outstanding at the time.
EXHIBIT (10)-i

LONG TERM PERFORMANCE STOCK PLAN - II

I. PURPOSE
The Long Term Performance Stock Plan - II (the "Plan") is designed
to advance the interests of Bausch & Lomb Incorporated (the
"Company") and its shareholders by (i) providing incentives for
those key executives who have a major impact on long term
corporate performance; (ii) reinforcing corporate long term
financial goals; (iii) providing competitive levels of long term
compensation for key executives; and (iv) aligning management and
shareholder interests.

II. ELIGIBILITY
Participation in the Plan is limited to officers and other
selected key executives who have a major impact on the performance
of the Company. The Company's chief executive officer or his
designees will designate executives to participate in the Plan
("Participants").

III. AWARD CYCLES
Award cycles ("Award Cycles") will be measured over three year
periods, with the performance award, if any, for each Award Cycle
to be paid early in the fourth year. Award Cycles will commence
on January 1 of the first year of each performance period.

IV. PERFORMANCE GOALS
The chief executive officer or his designees will establish the
performance goals for each Award Cycle, ensuring that the goals
are equitable and are compatible with the Company's major business
objectives. The performance goals for each Participant will
relate to the Participant's area of responsibility and be
consistent with the long term goals of the Company. For
Participants who are part of the Company's
corporate staff, their performance goals will be weighted
twothirds based upon the Participant's individual goals and
onethird based upon the corporate wide financial goals of return
on equity and sales growth. The corporate wide goals will be
established by the chief executive officer or his designees.

V. AWARDS
A. Officer Awards
If a Participant who is an officer achieves his or her performance
goals for an Award Cycle, such Participant will be eligible for an
award which is calculated using an adjusted salary midpoint equal
to the Participant's salary midpoint in effect in the first year
of the Award Cycle multiplied times 110% ("Adjusted Salary
Midpoint"). The Adjusted Salary Midpoint is then multiplied by
the
appropriate percentage set forth below to calculate the three year
standard award ("Standard Award") for each salary grade:

Percentage of
Salary Grade Adjusted Salary Midpoint

66 75
67 75
68 100
69 100


B. Non Officer Awards.
If a Participant who is not an officer achieves his or her
performance goals for an Award Cycle, such Participant will be
eligible for an award which is calculated using the Participant's
salary in effect in the first year of the Award Cycle multiplied
times 110% ("Adjusted Salary"). The Adjusted Salary is then
multiplied by 45% to calculate the Standard Award for a non-officer
Participant.

C. Adjustments to Award Calculation
If an officer Participant's salary grade changes in the course of
an Award Cycle, such Participant's Standard Award will be adjusted
using the Adjusted Salary Midpoint for the new grade level which
was in effect during the first year of that Award Cycle. For all
non-officer Participants, the calculation of the Standard Award
will be adjusted using each such Participant's actual salary
in the third year of the Award Cycle.

D. Award Amount
Depending upon the level of performance achieved by each
Participant, the amount of a Participant's actual award, if any,
will range from 50% to 200% of the Standard Award as adjusted
pursuant to Section V.C. above (the "Award"). Awards paid pursuant
to this Plan will consist of cash and Bausch & Lomb Class B Stock
granted pursuant to the 1990 Stock Incentive Plan or any successor
plan (the "Stock Plan"). If a Participant's performance results
in calculation of an Award which would be less than 50% of the
Standard Award, the Participant will nonetheless be entitled to a
minimum grant of Class B Stock equal to 50% of the Performance
Units granted to the Participant pursuant to Section VI below.

VI. PERFORMANCE UNITS

In February following the commencement of an Award Cycle each
Participant will receive performance units ("Performance Units")
equal to the number of shares of Class B Stock which, as of the
date of the February meeting of the Committee on Management of the
Board of Directors (the "Committee"), have an aggregate fair
market value (as determined under the Stock Plan) equal to 50% of
each Participant's Standard Award. During the Award Cycle,
Participants will receive quarterly cash payments on their
Performance Units equal to the dividends which would be payable on
a like number of shares of Class B Stock. If an officer
Participant's Standard Award calculation changes because of a
salary grade change due to a promotion in the course of an Award
Cycle, the number of Performance Units will be adjusted
accordingly at the end of the Award Cycle. For non-officer
Participants the number of Performance Units will be adjusted at
the end of the third year of the Award Cycle when the non-officer
Participant's Standard Award is adjusted for actual salary
increases pursuant to Section V.C. above.

VII. PAYOUTS

At the end of each Award Cycle, the Standard Award (as adjusted
pursuant to Section V.C. above) will be modified by the chief
executive officer or his designees to reflect performance against
the applicable goals and determine the amount of the Award payable
to each Participant. The Award payable to a Participant may also
be modified by the chief
executive officer or his designees if the Award does not
accurately reflect performance due to general economic conditions,
industry changes, corporate strategy changes, natural disasters or
any similar condition. One half of the Award amount shall be paid
in cash. The Participant will also receive shares of Class B
Stock (pursuant to the Stock Plan) equal to the number of
Performance Units granted to the Participant; provided, however,
that if the Award is based upon a percentage which is more than or
less than 100% of the Standard Award, the number of shares of
Class B Stock to be granted will be adjusted up or down by a like
percentage. There will be no adjustments in the number of shares
of Class B Stock for fluctuations up or down in the fair market
value of Class B Stock from the date of grant of Performance Units
at the beginning of the Award Cycle to the date of grant of the
Class B Stock, if any, after the Award Cycle.

Whether or not an Award is paid for an Award Cycle, all
Performance Units granted hereunder for an Award Cycle shall
expire immediately after the Award Cycle, and Participants shall
have no further rights with respect to such Units, except to the
extent that their performance entitles them to an Award.
Performance Units shall not give Participants any rights under the
Stock Plan.

VIII. DEFERRAL
Any or all of the cash portion of an Award may be deferred, at the
option of the Participant, into the Company's Deferred
Compensation Plan. Notice of such a deferral must be given to the
Company at least 18 months prior to the end of each Award Cycle
for which deferral is requested.

IX. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
If the Participant's employment with the Company terminates before
the end of any Award Cycle due to death, disability, or
retirement, the Participant or
his/her beneficiary is entitled to a pro rata share of any Award
paid at the end of the Award Cycle, unless the chief executive
officer or his designees decide that a pro rated Award should be
paid prior to the end of the Award Cycle. If the Participant's
employment with the Company terminates before the end of any Award
Cycle for any other reason, the Participant's Performance Units
shall be forfeited and the Participant shall not be entitled to
any Award hereunder.

X. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
This Plan has been adopted by the Committee, and the Committee may
amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any
time. The Committee is responsible for the design of the Plan and
the overall administration of the Plan. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan, all grants of Class B Stock made in
connection with this Plan shall be subject to the discretion of
the Committee which shall make any such grants pursuant to the
Stock Plan. The Committee reserves the right, in its discretion,
to pay any Awards hereunder entirely in cash.

The chief executive officer or his designees will: 1) approve the
Performance Goals for each Award Cycle at the beginning of the
Award Cycle; 2) set new or adjust previously set performance goals
or terminate current Award Cycles and commence new Award Cycles
for individual Participants as appropriate to reflect major
unforeseen events which are negatively affecting performance; and
3) administer the Plan to carry out its purposes and objectives
such as, but not limited to, responding to changes in tax laws,
regulations or
rulings, changes in accounting principles or practices, mergers,
acquisitions or divestitures, major technical innovations, or
extraordinary, non-recurring, or unusual items, to preserve the
integrity of the Plan's objectives.

XI. RECAPITALIZATION
In the event there is any recapitalization in the form of a stock
dividend, distribution, split, subdivision or combination of
shares of common stock of the Company, resulting in an increase or
decrease in the number of common shares outstanding, the number of
Performance Units then granted under the Plan shall be increased
or decreased proportionately, as the case may be.

XII. REORGANIZATION
If, pursuant to any reorganization, sale or exchange of assets,
consolidation or merger, outstanding Class B Stock is or could be
exchanged for other securities of the Company or of another
company which is a party to such transaction, or for property, any
grant of Performance Units under the Program theretofore granted
shall, subject to the provisions of this Program for making
Awards, apply to the securities or property into which the Class B
Stock covered thereby would have been changed or for which such
Class B Stock would have been exchanged had such Class B Stock
been outstanding at the time.
