Whatever brand of contact lenses you have it's important to make sure you have good lens care. Product offerings range from lubricating drops to various multi-purpose solutions fit for different types of lens wearers. Most manufacturers have their own dedicated line of specialist care solutions. Bausch&Lomb, for example, operates the Renu brand. Other leading makes include Focus Aqua while Ciba Vision offers Novartis under the Clear Care name.
This is just a snapshot of what's available. Indeed there is so much choice available at times you can feel lost. However your choice here is as important as anywhere else.
Healthy eyes are dependent on healthy contact lens wear. A proper lens cleaning regiment and lens wearing schedule is vital, as well as regular visits to an eye care specialist.
Some people make the mistake of assuming any solution will work for any other product. However you should not experiment with just any brand. Not all solutions are safe for soft lenses and may not be compatible to proper lens care. The brand offers specific products suitable to any condition and requirement that concerns proper lens care. For providers of lens solution the challenge is to make their products suitable for as many different types of lenses as possible.
Renu, for example, offer what it describes as a universal product in soft contact lens care. Its multi-purpose solution is designed to rinse, clean and disinfect contact lenses as well as store and remove protein.
The use of the Renu solution eliminates the needs of lens wearers to use a separate enzymatic cleaner or daily cleaner, as this is done by this all-in-one product. This product also ensures comfort to contact lens wear. It is formulated to work with natural tears, providing a cushion of moisture to contact lens use.
Others have their own strengths. For example, Clear Care is ideal for simultaneous cleaning and protein removal. Opti Free Express is designed to cater for soft lenses such as Acuvue's Oasys brand. Meanwhile for silicon hydrogel products you might want to choose the Opti Free Replenish.
Renu's brands go for the all in one approach and offer a good basic starting point. However, it's important to always seek professional advice. Sadly these days that's becoming increasingly rare. The internet encourages a click and buy mentality.
We're less inclined to touch and feel a product or do substantial product research before we make our choice. Remember: knowledge is power. It pays to take our time when making our choice.
