Senator Chuck Schumer is getting involved in the sale of Bausch & Lomb.

The Rochester company is currently reviewing two offers:  one from a competitor; the other from a private equity firm.

Schumer wrote a letter to the company board, urging it to pick the bid that will mean no job losses and no relocation from Rochester.

B&L shareholders are looking to meet on the sale soon.
