Frequently Asked Questions About Contact Lens Solution
No, saline solution is only meant to rinse your contact lenses, not clean and disinfect them.
Reusing solution or “topping-off” is never recommended because it dilutes the cleaning and disinfecting power. Used solution is not only dirty but may contain harmful bacteria and cause eye infections. Always dump out the solution from your lens case after putting your lenses in your eyes and clean the lens case with a tissue, letting it dry before reuse.
OPTI-FREE® multi-purpose solutions are formulated for cleaning, disinfecting, and rinsing your lenses immediately before putting them in your eyes. To rewet your contact lenses once they’re on your eyes, we recommend using an OPTI-FREE® Rewetting Drop for an additional burst of moisture.
Unfortunately, there is no substitute for contact lens solution. In a pinch, you can temporarily store your contact lenses in saline solution, but your best option is to go out and buy some more contact lens solution.
Yes. Cleaning the case will remove any residual dirt and debris particles that may have filtered down to the bottom of the case. Don’t rinse with water, however, because tap water could contain potential eye irritants and germs.
