But after six hours of bubbling away - and making that distinctive fizzing sound as the hydrogen peroxide and Pluronic 17R4 work to destroy grime - the solution neutralizes and becomes basic saline.

If the idea of dousing hydrogen peroxide on something you put directly onto your cornea sounds a little scary, I get it: It did at first to me, too. The magic of Clear Care, I later learned, is hydrogen peroxide - precisely 3 percent of it - and a surfactant called Pluronic 17R4, which removes dirt, germs, and protein buildup much better than regular saline solution. It wasn’t until I reached the four-week mark that the lenses started to feel slightly past their prime, and that’s when I finally threw them away. And as they neared the end of their two-week lifespan, I found that they still felt just as fresh as they did on the first day I opened them. The next morning, I couldn’t believe how clean my lenses felt - it was as if I had just ripped open a fresh pair. I bought a bottle of it, dutifully rinsed my lenses in the solution for five seconds as Clear Care instructs, then nestled them into the case that comes with the solution for their first Clear Care bath. It was amid this existential contact-lens crisis that my broke (and brilliant) hall mate let me in on a secret: Clear Care solution cleaned her contacts so thoroughly that she could stretch her prescription out, she promised. The $150 my six-month supply of two-week lenses cost was an entire paycheck from my on-campus job. That and the fact that even the contact lenses I picked up from a mall optician were expensive. A big reason why it took so long was because I was seriously skeeved out by the filmy concave pieces of silicone that never felt clean no matter how much Biotrue I squirted on them. While I had been wearing glasses since the third grade, I only started wearing contact lenses every day in college.

She was just cleaning her contacts, she explained. When I asked what the noise was, my hall mate directed my attention to a tiny contraption filled with a frothing liquid. Not heard about it, but literally heard it : I was in college, sitting in a hall mate’s dorm room, when a fizzing sound - like when you drop some Mentos into a can of Coke - cut through the freshman-floor gossip. Alcon’s vision is to be the most trusted leader in eye care and looks forward to continuing the trend of bringing the best new contact solutions and rinses to their patients around the world.I actually heard Clear Care before I ever saw it.
#LENSCARE CONTACT LENS SOLUTION REVIEW PLUS#
Clear Care Plus vows being preservative-free with no added chemicals, avoiding the possibility of causing eye irritation. Store lenses in an unopened Clear Care lens case for up to 7 days and discard the old solution before using again. This gives the solution time to thoroughly clean the lens and for the peroxide in the solution to become neutralized to avoid irritation. Leave lenses in the Clear Care Plus solution for a minimum of 6 hours. The cleaning and disinfecting solution penetrates the lens for a deep clean, and the bubbling action helps with removing protein deposits and other foreign matter. Clear Care Plus uses hydrogen peroxide to kill harmful germs and bacteria that are found on contact lenses to prevent eye infections and discomfort. This HydraGlyde wetting agent is used to recondition soft lenses and surround them with long-lasting moisture for all day comfort. Clear Care Plus provides the same cleaning and disinfecting power of Clear Care, but with an added wetting agent called HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix. With its patented Triple Action Cleaning formula and special case, patients with the most sensitive eyes feel relief and receive the perfect clean. Clear Care Plus is the #1 doctor recommended hydrogen peroxide solution on the market. Clear Care Plus with lens cup is a cleaning and disinfecting lens care solution that is perfect for any contact lens user.
