-[Soft Lenses Cleansing Regime]-

If you're got QUESTIONS, we've got ANSWERS!



1. What cleansing solution is reccomended for soft lenses?

I personally use & reccommend the following:


- AO Sept (for cleansing, soaking, disinfecting & storing) - LOVE IT!

- Opti-Clean II (like a soap for soft lenses - to double cleanse!)

Photobucket


- Saline solution (any type - to rinse off the soap)

- Unizyme Protein Remover Tablets (to use 1-2 times a week)

My personal cleansing regime for contact lens:

Follow for extreme hygiene care! ;)

1. Use Opti-Clean II and rub lenses with it. (works like a soap)

2. Cleanse and Rinse it with Saline solution.


3. Place Lenses into AO Sept's special lens case (comes free with AO Sept Solution)

6. When putting on lens (after 6 hours of cleansing), use Saline to rinse! (Please read point 4. Important!)

2. How does AO Sept work?

It uses hydrogen peroxide to kill germs and bacteria that cause eye infections.
AO Sept works with its special lens case to create a bubbling action which actively cleans and removes protein from your lenses so the lenses feel more comfortable.

Honestly, I simply love AO Sept! That bubbling action makes me feel like its really cleansing my lens! And, yes! It feels so great to wear them after allowing the solution to disinfect my lenses!


3. Does AO Sept work with all kinds of soft contact lenses?

Yes. AO Sept is great for all types of contact lenses and is ideal for silicone hydrogel lenses, including: O2OPTIX™, NIGHT & DAY ®, PureVision®*, ACUVUE® ADVANCE™, and ACUVUE®, OASYS™*, and all other soft lenses like GEO, G&G, Dueba, NEO etc etc.

4. Important notes to using AO Sept!

a. Clear Care should never be used just to rinse your lenses.

Lenses must be soaked in the provided lens case for at least 6 hours prior to inserting the lens in the eye. Otherwise, burning and stinging will result.

If you would like to just rinse your lenses, use a sterile saline solution.


b. What if I only want to rest my eyes and soak the lens for a couple of hours before putting them on?
Simply use saline to soak, put into lens case. DO NOT EVER use AO Sept solution and soak for less than 6 hours! Solution takes 6 hours to neutralise!

5. How long should I soak my lenses in Clear Care?

Keep your lenses in the provided lens case for at least 6 hours. This allows the bubbling action of Clear Care to clean your lenses thoroughly and for the disinfectant in Clear Care to become neutralized-creating a gentle saline solution, much like your own tears. =)

6. Why do I have to use the lens case provided in the Clear Care pack for disinfecting my lenses?

Because there is no substitute for the lens case provided in the Clear Care pack. This lens case contains a unique neutralizing disc specially designed to neutralize Clear Care. It converts this powerful cleaning and disinfecting solution into a gentle saline solution, much like your own tears.

7. Pricing (price varies from shop to shop)

Try to refrain shopping malls as rent is more expensive, hence, products more costly. =)

- AO Sept (~$28 -29 for 2 full size + 1 travel pack)
- Opti-Clean II (~$8 - $8.50)
- Saline ($1.50/bottle)
- Unizyme Protein Remover Tablets ($9)
