Why These 5 Contact Lens Solutions Are Among the Best Available
Every contact lens wearer knows that contact lens solution is a vital part of their daily routine. Most every night, they take out their lenses and bathe them in a contact lens solution, leaving them in liquid overnight while they sleep. Upon waking, they expect to find cleansed, fresh lenses that feel good to the eyes.
And further, anyone who’s ever worn contact lenses knows that the shelves are full of options that are available for purchase. Attractive packaging, often competitive pricing, and bold promises make it ever so hard to choose what solution is best. With that in mind, we bring you a list of what we think represent 5 of the best contact lens solutions out there, and why it may be worth your time to try them.
Ciba Vision AQuify Multipurpose Solution
Ciba Vision offers a contact lens solution that fits very well for people whose active lives means they’re always on the go. If you happened to sleep with your contacts in and need to clean them quickly, simply pop them into the solution, rub them, and let them soak for about five minutes.
AQuify contains dexpanthenol, which locks in moisture while also preventing dryness. This is a great contact lens solution for those who might need to refresh their lenses on the go or for those who work in high-heat environments such as a kitchen. Keep a bottle in the desk drawer for late nights at the office, or for those special occasions where time is of the essence.
Opti-Free Replenish Multipurpose Disinfecting Solution
Opti-Free offers one of the best no-rub overnight solutions available, and their multipurpose disinfecting solution tends to be a favorite of many contact lens wearers. While not every lens solution is a perfect match for every kind of lens, the Opti-Free solution seems to work with a wide range, reducing the hassle that can be associated with purchasing the wrong kind of solution.
It’s always good to shop around to find the best match for your lenses and eyes, but this is a great place to start your search. If it works well for you and your lenses, then you’re in good shape.
Unisol 4 Preservative Free Saline Solution
Because it contains fewer irritants than most other solutions, Unisol 4 is a great choice for those who strive to live an all-natural lifestyle. The saline is ph-balanced to match the eye’s natural tears, so it should be easily accepted by all eyes. Since the solution is preservative-free, the manufacturer suggests disposing of any unused product after 30 days in use.
Clear Care No-Rub Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution
Ease and convenience is the name of the game with Clear Care’s No-Rub Solution. Drop your lens in their case with a few drops per lens, and the solution will clean the lenses, remove all protein deposits, and disinfect the lenses overnight.
Clinical trials have proven this solution to be the most comfortable on the eyes. Since Clear Care No-Rub Cleaning Solution contains hydrogen peroxide, users can watch it get to work as soon as they drop their lenses in for a nightly cleaning. In the morning, Clear Care rinses clean easily, allowing you to quickly start your day with your vision restored.
Bausch & Lomb Boston Advance Conditioning Solution
The Boston Advance Solution is special because it contains a unique conditioner that makes for more comfortable insertion and wear through the day. For those with gas-permeable lenses, this is the #1 recommendation of eye doctors nationwide. Not only does it condition, but it also disinfects, protecting your eyes from harmful bacteria throughout the day.
Healthy Eyes Are Happy Eyes
Proper care of your contact lenses is imperative, no matter what kind of lifestyle you live — from the very active to more sedentary. Contact lenses sit directly on top of very sensitive and vulnerable organs, your eyes. With that in mind, always be sure to keep them clean and replace them as often as recommended, according to your eye doctor’s prescription.
Even if you use a no-rub solution, remember to give your lenses a gentle rub, in order to help the lens solution do the best job possible. A little extra care will pay dividends, with greater eye health and comfort. When you’re ready to order new contact lenses, make sure you contact us at Beaumont Vision.
