Expert guide
What you should know
Clear, practical guidance to help you discuss the right option with a trained optical professional.
Types of contact lens care products
- Multipurpose solution for cleaning, rinsing, disinfecting and storing compatible soft lenses
- Hydrogen-peroxide systems that require a dedicated neutralising case and full cycle
- Saline for approved rinsing purposes—not for disinfecting lenses
- Rewetting or lubricating drops specifically labelled as contact-lens compatible
- Daily disposable lenses, which are discarded after wear and should not be cleaned for reuse
A dependable reusable-lens routine
Wash and dry your hands, remove one lens, apply the recommended solution and rub and rinse it when instructed. Store it in fresh solution for the complete disinfection period.
Empty the case after use, clean it as directed, allow it to air-dry and replace it regularly. Never top up yesterday's solution.
What never to use on contact lenses
- Tap, bottled or distilled water
- Saliva or homemade salt water
- Expired solution or solution left in an open case
- Eye drops that are not approved for contact lens use
- A peroxide system without its supplied neutralising case
When to ask for professional advice
Speak with your practitioner before changing solution if you experience recurring dryness, stinging or deposits. The cause may be the solution, lens material, fit, wearing schedule or an eye-surface condition.
Remove lenses immediately and obtain clinical advice for pain, significant redness, discharge, light sensitivity or reduced vision.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
Can saline solution disinfect contact lenses?
No. Saline may be used only for purposes specified by the practitioner or product instructions; it does not disinfect reusable lenses.
Can I reuse solution already in the lens case?
No. Discard used solution and use a fresh quantity for every disinfection cycle.
Can contact lenses be washed with water?
No. Water is not sterile and can expose the eye to harmful microorganisms.
How often should I replace my contact lens case?
Follow the care-system and practitioner's instructions; regular replacement is important even when the case looks clean.
