- Rinse our your lens case and let it air dry. Replace your lens case frequently.

Ask one of our Doctors or Assistants what solution would be best for you to use!
When it comes to soft or disposable contact lenses, there are a lot of choices to make. We recommend the following multipurpose brands for your daily soaking, rinsing and disinfecting: Bausch and Lomb’s Bio True, Alcon’s Pure Moist and Abbot’s RevitaLens. Each of these products has excellent disinfecting properties, and keep your lenses hydrated.
Rigid Gas Permeable Solution
Most rigid gas permeable solutions are a three part system. There is a Cleaning, a Soaking, and a Wetting solution.
You would use the Cleaning solution to rub oils and debris from the lens surface. Most cleaning solutions contain a surfactant and are therefore not safe to put in the eyes. If the bottle has a red tip, do not put in the eyes.
The Soaking solution is what you would soak the lenses in overnight to disinfect the lenses.
The Wetting solution is placed on the lens surface prior to insertion for a more comfortable wearing experience.
Some solutions combine the wetting and soaking, and some solutions are all in one.
Clear Care Disinfecting System
Clear Care is a solution that uses Hydrogen Peroxide to disinfect and clean your contacts without the preservatives normally found in MultiPurpose solutions.
