FAQs
Contact lens solutions are designed to clean, disinfect and store contact lenses. If you are wearing daily disposable contact lenses, you do not need to use them. But if you are wearing other types of contact lenses, using a contact lens solution is a must.
No. Saline solution is only meant to rinse your contact lenses, not clean and disinfect them.
This can be different depending on the solution you are using.
For using OPTI-FREE® Express®, there are five easy steps:
1. Fill the empty lens case with solution.
2. Wet each side of the lens with the solution.
3. Rub each lens for 20 seconds with your finger.
4. Rinse each side of the lens for 10 seconds with a steady stream of solution.
5. Place lenses in the case with solution, tighten the lids and wait overnight or at least six hours. Empty your lens case every day.
If your eye care professional has recommended to use AOSEPT® PLUS with HydraGlyde®, then these are the steps to follow:
1. RINSE: Place your contact lenses in the lens holders, close the cover and rinse with AOSEPT® PLUS with HydraGlyde® for five seconds.
2. FILL: Fill the lens case with AOSEPT® PLUS with HydraGylde® to the indicator line. Place the contact lenses in the case, and twist to close securely.
3. SOAK FOR 6 HOURS: Store contact lenses in lens case for at least six hours or overnight. AOSEPT® PLUS with HydraGlyde® needs time to clean, disinfect and neutralize to a gentle saline solution. Please never put AOSEPT® PLUS with HydraGlyde® in or around your eyes, or rinse your lenses with the solution prior to insertion.
Lens care solutions may have different properties, so it is always best to ask your eye care professional for advice.
