Cleansing solutions

Seeking the right cleansing solution for your contact lenses?
Your optometrist can help you choose the cleaning solution that’s right for you.

 

Multi-purpose products
Multi-purpose solutions clean and disinfect lenses and keeps them hydrated while you wear them, ensuring comfort throughout the day. Multi-purpose solutions simplify maintenance as they decontaminate and rinse the lenses in a single-step.

 

Hydrogen peroxide products
An oxygenated water based solution, hydrogen peroxide is a strong decontaminant. Once it has cleaned the lenses, hydrogen peroxide must be neutralized before coming into contact with the eye. This transformation process leads to the formation of oxygenated bubbles which “shake” the lens, thus detaching particles stuck to the lens surface. Come morning, the lenses are sitting in saline solution, perfectly neutralized and safe to be placed on the eye without causing irritation.

 

Protein removers
Protein and other deposits found in tears accumulate producing bacteria on the lens causing discomfort and blurred vision. In order to remove protein deposits, a weekly enzyme treatment is recommended. Talk to your optometrist for more details.

 

Saline solution (rinse and lubricate lenses)
A neutral product used to rinse, remove residual deposits and lubricate lenses in order for them to be more comfortable to wear. Saline comes in spray, tablet or liquid forms.
