Contact lens solution

Contact lens solutions are used to clean, disinfect and store reusable contact lenses between wears. The correct care routine depends on both the contact lens and the type of solution you use. Daily disposable lenses are discarded after use and do not require cleaning or overnight storage.

Types of contact lens solution

Different contact lens care systems are designed for different routines. Multipurpose solutions can combine several steps such as cleaning, rinsing, disinfecting and storing soft contact lenses. Hydrogen peroxide-based systems use a different disinfection process and must be fully neutralised according to the instructions for the specific product before the lenses are placed in the eyes.

Always check that the solution is suitable for your contact lenses and follow the instructions supplied with both the lenses and the care product.

Choosing the right solution for your contact lenses

Not every contact lens solution is intended to be used in the same way or with every type of lens. Use the care system recommended for your lenses and follow any guidance provided by your optician or eye care professional. If you are changing to a different solution or care system, check that it is appropriate for your contact lenses before use.

Using and storing contact lens solution

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning, disinfecting and storing your lenses. Use fresh solution as directed rather than reusing solution that has already been used for storage, and keep the bottle and lens case according to the instructions for the specific product.

Hydrogen peroxide solutions require particular care. They must be used with the designated neutralisation system and should never be placed directly in the eye before the neutralisation process is complete.

Contact lens solution for reusable lenses

Reusable lenses normally require cleaning, disinfection and storage between wears. If you use reusable lenses, you can explore our monthly contact lenses and follow the care instructions for your specific lens model.

If you prefer lenses that do not require a cleaning and storage routine between wears, explore our daily contact lenses. Daily disposable lenses are worn once and discarded after removal.
