PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION 
 
Item 1.  Financial Statements. 
 
As more fully described in Note A - "Restatement of Financial
Information", financial information in this filing has been restated to
reflect the decision to account for shipments under a fourth quarter
1993 U.S. contact lens distributor program as consigned inventory and
to record revenues when the products were sold by the distributors to
their customers.  Additionally, a restatement was made to correct the
improper recording of certain 1993 sunglass distributor sales in
Southeast Asia and to reverse related sales returns which had been
previously recorded in 1994.  
 
Unaudited financial statements for the first quarter of 1994 and 1993 of
Bausch & Lomb Incorporated and Consolidated Subsidiaries are presented
on the following pages.  The audited balance sheet at December 31, 1994
is presented for comparative purposes.  Financial statements for the
three months ended March 26, 1994 have been prepared by the Company in
accordance with its usual accounting policies and are based in part on
approximations. 
 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been included.  All
such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 
NOTE A:	Restatement of Financial Information 
 
The Company has restated its financial statements for the year ended
December 25, 1993 and the quarter ended March 26, 1994.  This action 
was taken as a result of an ongoing investigation which identified
uncertainties surrounding the execution of a fourth quarter 1993 
contact lens sales program and the improper recording of 1993 sunglass
sales in Southeast Asia.  In the fourth quarter of 1993 a marketing
program was initiated to implement a business strategy to shift
responsibility for the sale and distribution of a portion of the U.S.
traditional contact lens business to optical distributors.
Subsequently, this strategy proved unsuccessful and, in the 1994 
third quarter, led to the implementation of a new pricing policy for
traditional contact lenses and a decision to accept on a one-time basis
returns from these distributors.  The investigation of this marketing
program disclosed instances where unauthorized terms may have been or
were offered which were inconsistent with the stated terms and 
conditions of the program.  The resulting uncertainties relating to the
execution of this marketing program led to a decision to restate the
1993 financial statements to account for shipments under the program as
consigned inventory and to record revenues when the products were sold
by the distributors to their customers.  The investigation of Southeast
Asia sunglass sales disclosed that in certain instances distributor
transactions recorded as revenues in 1993 had not actually resulted from
a sale to those customers, and thus were improperly recorded.  The 1993
financial statements have been restated to reverse the improperly
recorded sales with a corresponding restatement of the 1994 financial
statements to reverse the effect of sales returns previously recognized
in that period.  In the opinion of management, all material adjustments
necessary to correct the financial statements have been recorded.  The
impact of these adjustments on the Company's financial results as
originally reported is summarized below:

Additionally, retained earnings at December 31, 1993 originally reported
as $889,325,000 has been restated to $871,680,000. 
 
 
NOTE B:	Earnings Per Share 
 
	Net earnings per Common share are based on the weighted average
number of Common and Class B shares outstanding during the period, 
adjusted for the assumed conversion of dilutive stock options.  In 
computing the per share effect of assumed conversion, funds which would 
have been received from the exercise of options are considered to have 
been used to purchase Common shares at current market prices, and the 
resulting net additional Common shares are included in the calculation 
of average Common shares outstanding. 
 
The number of Common shares used to calculate net earnings per 
Common share were 59,919,000 at March 26, 1994 and 60,393,000 shares at 
March 27, 1993.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
          Condition and Results of Operations. 
 
	This financial review, which should be read in conjunction with 
the accompanying financial statements, contains management's discussion 
and analysis of the Company's operational results, liquidity and 
progress toward stated business objectives.  The focus of this review is 
on the underlying business reasons for significant changes and trends 
affecting sales, operating earnings and financial condition.  As more 
fully described in Note A - "Restatement of Financial Information", 
financial information in this filing has been restated to reflect the 
decision to account for shipments under a fourth quarter 1993 U.S. 
contact lens distributor program as consigned inventory and to record 
revenues when the products were sold by the distributors to their 
customers.  Additionally, a restatement was made to correct the improper 
recording of certain 1993 sunglass distributor sales in Southeast Asia 
and to reverse related sales returns which had been previously recorded 
in 1994.  
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
 
Net Sales By Business Segment 
 
	Bausch & Lomb's results are reported in two business segments.  
The healthcare segment includes personal health, medical and biomedical 
products.  In the personal health sector, major lines include contact 
lens care products, eye care solutions, over-the-counter medications, 
skin care products and oral care products.  Medical products include 
contact lenses and lens materials, prescription pharmaceuticals, hearing 
aids and dental implants.  Biomedical products include purpose-bred 
laboratory animals for biomedical research and a variety of biotechnical 
and professional services provided to the scientific research community.  
Bausch & Lomb's optics segment includes sunglasses, binoculars, 
riflescopes, telescopes and optical thin film coating services and 
products. 
 
Consolidated revenues for the quarter ended March 26, 1994 were 
$439 million, an increase of $32 million or 8% over the 1993 first 
quarter.  The following is a summary of sales by business segment:

Healthcare Segment Revenues 
 
Revenues in the healthcare segment increased $36 million or 15% 
over the 1993 first quarter.  Major product sector revenues as a 
percentage of total healthcare segment sales are presented below: 
 
<TABLE>

    Biomedical                  15%       17% 
</TABLE> 
 
Within the personal health sector, 1994 first quarter revenues 
improved 10% from the comparable 1993 level.  This progress was led by 
incremental revenues for the Curel and Soft Sense skin care products 
acquired in June 1993.  Continued strong demand for the Company's ReNu, 
Boston and Bausch & Lomb lens care solutions also contributed to the 
revenue gain.  Excellent sales progress was also realized for eyecare 
products in the U.S. and over-the-counter medications in Europe.  
Revenues for oral care products declined from 1993 due primarily to 
increased competition and reduced selling prices for Interplak products 
in the U.S. 
 
Medical sector sales rose 28% from 1993 levels.  Worldwide contact 
lens revenues advanced almost 15%, as combined sales of the Company's 
established SeeQuence disposable and Medalist planned replacement lens 
products advanced by more than 50%.  Ophthalmic pharmaceutical revenues 
improved by 13%, led by sales of recently approved products in the U.S., 
including Tobramycin and Levobunolol.  First quarter revenue growth for 
the Company's prescription pharmaceutical operations in Europe reflected 
a stabilization of that market after last year's change in government 
regulations in Germany.  Medical sector sales also benefited from 
incremental revenues for the hearing aid and dental implant businesses 
acquired last year. 
 
The modest improvement in the Company's biomedical sector 
reflected revenue growth for all product lines. 
 
 
Optics Segment Revenues 
 
Revenues in the optics segment declined 3% to $155 million, 
compared to $160 million in 1993.  Sunglass sales in the U.S. advanced 
10%, based primarily on the February 1994 acquisition of the assets of 
Revo, noted for its line of high performance sunglasses.  Sunglass 
revenues in Europe and Asia declined from a year ago due to the 
continuing effects of lagging economic conditions in key markets.  
Higher sales for sports optics products were led by increased demand for 
riflescopes, telescopes and binoculars. 
 

Net Sales By Geographic Region 
 
Sales in markets outside the U.S. totaled $188 million, a decrease 
of $2 million or 1% from the 1993 first quarter.  Changes in currency 
exchange rates reduced sales comparisons with 1993 by $5 million.  In 
total, non-U.S. sales represented 43% of consolidated revenues, compared 
to 47% in the 1993 first quarter.  The Company's historically strong 
performance outside the U.S. has been constrained by the slower rate of 
economic recovery in Europe and Japan.  European revenues in total 
increased modestly despite the adverse impact of currency movements.  
This progress reflected improved demand for the Company's over-the-
counter medications and thin film coating products, as well as 
contributions from recent acquisitions.  Sales in the Asia-Pacific 
region declined 10% as a result of weakened demand for sunglass and oral 
care products.  Revenue growth of 4% in Latin America and Canada 
reflected gains for contact lens care solutions, planned replacement 
lenses and sunglasses. 
 
U.S. sales totaled $251 million in the first quarter, an increase 
of $34 million or 16%.  Acquisitions completed in 1993 in the hearing 
aid, skin care and dental implant businesses and the first quarter 1994 
acquisition of Revo, a U.S. manufacturer of high performance sunglasses, 
led the improvement from the prior year.  Higher sales also reflected 
revenue gains in the contact lens care, contact lens and pharmaceutical 
businesses compared to the prior year.  U.S. pharmaceutical revenues 
advanced 19% in the first quarter, led by incremental shipments of 
recently introduced products. 
 
Costs And Expenses 
 
The cost of products sold ratio was 46.6% for the 1994 first 
quarter versus 46.1% for the comparable 1993 period.  The higher ratio 
was primarily attributable to the growing significance of lower margin 
disposable and planned replacement contact lenses, the adverse currency 
impact on products sourced from Ireland, and the impact of recent 
acquisitions where product margins have yet to be optimized. 
 
Selling, administrative and general expenses were 35.9% of sales 
in the first quarter of 1994 compared to 37.4% in 1993.  These costs 
have benefited from recent restructuring actions and successful efforts 
to manage discretionary spending to a rate below that of revenue growth.  
Additionally, 1993 expenses included the initial costs of regionalizing 
the administration of the Company's non-U.S. operations and 
discretionary spending to launch the Company's Clear Choice mouthwash.  
Research and development expense for the first three months of 1994 
increased $1.5 million or 11% over 1993 levels, reflecting the Company's 
continued investment in new technologies.  The majority of these 
expenditures relate to product development for new contact lens 
materials and the Company's next generation of oral care products. 
 
 
Business Segment And Operating Earnings 
 
Business segment earnings of $73 million for the first quarter of 
1994 increased $8 million or 12% compared to the 1993 first quarter.  
This gain reflected improved operating results for contact lens care 
products, the prescription pharmaceutical business and for over-the-
counter medications in Europe.  The earnings improvement was moderated 
by a sales decline in the oral care business in the U.S., increased 
research and development costs associated with new product 
introductions, as well as shifts in the contact lens business toward 
lower margin planned replacement lenses.  Incremental earnings for skin 
care products were moderated by results for the Miracle Ear line of 
hearing aids which have been affected by reduced consumer demand 
throughout the industry in the wake of regulatory actions initiated by 
the FTC and FDA.  Operating earnings totaled $62 million, an increase of 
$8 million or 15% over the prior year period, the result of lower 
corporate administration expenses in the first quarter. 
 
Other Income And Expenses 
 
Income from investments for the first quarter of 1994 totaled $8 
million, compared to $5 million for the same period in 1993.  The 
increase was due to income from an interest rate swap associated with 
distributions from Wilmington Partners L.P., formed in December 1993.  
Interest expense of $9 million for the 1994 first quarter was even with 
the first quarter of 1993, as the favorable effect of lower interest 
rates was offset by the acquisition-related increase in average 
outstanding debt. 
 
The Company realized a net foreign currency gain of $2 million 
attributable to results from its worldwide hedging operations in the 
first quarter of 1994, representing a decline of $1 million from the net 
$3 million gain realized in 1993.  As had been anticipated, premium 
income on the Company's Irish punt positions decreased from the prior 
year. 
 
Higher minority interest expense reflected distributions to the 
outside investor in Wilmington Partners L.P.  In December 1993, the 
Company raised $400 million through the sale of a minority interest in 
this entity. 
 
The Company's reported income tax rates were 34.3% and 35.4% for 
the first quarter of 1994 and 1993, respectively. 
 

Liquidity And Financial Resources 
 
Cash Flows From Operating Activities 
 
Net earnings adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation, 
amortization and deferred taxes, improved 11% from 1993.  However, total 
cash flows used by operating activities totaled $2 million in the first 
quarter of 1994, a decrease of $10 million from the $8 million of cash 
provided in the prior year period.  This change was primarily 
attributable to a build in inventories from the 1993 year end to support 
expected growth in the planned replacement lens business as well as 
higher inventory levels related to acquired businesses.  Lower current 
liabilities primarily represented the net settlement of foreign currency 
hedge contracts and the timing of tax payments.  These factors were 
moderated by 1994 initiatives to reduce receivable levels, reflected by 
the $20 million improvement generated by these efforts in the first 
quarter. 
 
 
Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities 
 
Cash flows used in investing activities increased $16 million from 
1993 to $60 million.  Purchases of property, plant and equipment totaled 
$30 million, an increase of $12 million over the 1993 first quarter.  
Capital expenditures are expected to total approximately $90 million 
this year.  Major projects will include new manufacturing capacity for 
contact lenses in the U.S. and Europe and actions to further improve 
sunglass manufacturing efficiencies.  Other investing activities in the 
first quarter of 1994 included the acquisition of the assets of Revo, a 
U.S.-based manufacturer of high performance sunglasses. 
 
Cash Flows From Financing Activities 
 
Cash used in financing activities included repurchases of the 
Company's Common shares and the payment of dividends.  Cash flow was 
provided from the proceeds of additional U.S. promissory note borrowings 
in the first quarter.  The Company's total debt, consisting of short- 
and long-term borrowings, increased by $80 million to $645 million at 
the end of the 1994 first quarter. 
 
Financial Position 
 
Bausch & Lomb's ratio of total debt to equity at the end of March 
stood at 69% in 1994 and 77% in 1993.  The Company also maintains a 
significant balance of cash and investments, which totaled $553 million 
and $524 million at the end of March 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The 
Company's net debt, or total borrowings less cash, cash equivalents and 
short-term investments, totaled $93 million in 1994 and $149 million in 
1993.  After considering hypothetical taxes payable upon repatriation of 
non-U.S. cash and investments, tax-effected net debt totaled $234 
million in 1994 and $291 million in 1993.  The ratio of tax-effected net 
debt to equity stood at 25.2% in 1994 and 33.1% in 1993, demonstrating 
that the Company continues to maintain a sound capital structure.  The 
Company is planning to improve cash flow and reduce its working capital 
requirements in 1994.  The stated goal is to generate $100 million in 
cash flow beyond that which will be required for the payment of 
dividends and capital expenditures.  These funds will be used to reduce 
short-term debt. 
 
Access to Financial Markets 
 
The Company maintains U.S. revolving credit and term loan 
agreements which total $205 million with 364-day credit terms.  The 
interest rate under the agreements is at the prime rate, or, at the 
Company's option, at a mutually acceptable market rate.  No debt was 
outstanding under these agreements at March 26, 1994.  The Company filed 
a shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 
November 1993 for up to $300 million in debt.  Filing and approval for 
the medium term note program covered by this shelf registration occurred 
in April 1994.  In addition, the Company maintains bank lines of credit 
for its financing requirements.  For limited periods during the year, 
intercompany borrowings may be used to reduce U.S. short-term debt.  The 
availability of adequate credit facilities provides the Company with a 
high degree of flexibility to meet its obligations, fund capital 
expenditures and invest in growth opportunities. 
 
 
Working Capital 
 
The Company continued to maintain its strong financial condition.  
Working capital amounted to $652 million for the first quarter of 1994, 
versus $670 million at year-end 1993 and $557 million for the first 
quarter of 1993.  The current ratio was 1.9 at March 26, 1994 and at 
December 31, 1993 and 1.8 at March 27, 1993. 
 
OTHER FINANCIAL DATA 
 
Dividends declared on Common stock were $0.22 per share in the 
first quarters of 1994 and 1993.  In March the Company announced the 
dividend payment rate would increase to $0.245 per share in the 1994 
second quarter, an increase of 11% from 1993.  This increase reflects 
the Company's desire to increase its dividend on an annual basis while 
maintaining a payout rate of between 30% and 35% of the previous year's 
earnings. 
 
Return on average shareholders' equity was 16% for the twelve-
month period ended March 26, 1994 compared to 20% for the twelve-month 
period ended March 27, 1993.  Excluding the cumulative translation 
adjustment, return on average shareholders' equity was 16% for the 1994 
first quarter versus 22% for the 1993 first quarter.  The lower return 
ratio reflected the impact of the restructuring charges recorded in 
December 1993.
