Biography
Edward Bausch (1854-1944) shepherded the family optical enterprise through decades of growth, insisting on the highest standards for lenses and instruments and guiding Bausch & Lomb into new markets while honoring the craftsmanship that first defined it.
He shared the fruits of that success with Rochester's hospitals, universities, and charities, remaining a steadfast presence in civic circles and lying in repose at Mount Hope Cemetery.
