Johnson & Johnson Contact Lens Solutions

Johnson & Johnson Vision produces contact lens solutions under the Acuvue RevitaLens brand. Acuvue RevitaLens Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution is designed to clean, rinse, disinfect, and store soft contact lenses, including silicone hydrogel materials such as Acuvue Oasys. It uses a dual disinfectant system with ALDOX and POLYQUAD to provide broad-spectrum protection against bacteria and other pathogens. Acuvue RevitaLens is available in a 100 ml single bottle and as a two-pack for regular wearers. Vision Direct also stocks Lens Plus OcuPure saline solution as part of the Johnson & Johnson eye care range.

Yes, Acuvue RevitaLens Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution is compatible with silicone hydrogel contact lenses, including the full Acuvue Oasys range. RevitaLens is also compatible with most other soft lens materials, making it a versatile choice if you wear lenses from other brands alongside Acuvue products. Always check the compatibility information on the packaging for your specific lens type.

Lens Plus OcuPure is a preserved saline solution from Abbott Medical Optics, part of the Johnson & Johnson Vision portfolio. Unlike multi-purpose solutions, saline is not a complete care system on its own and does not disinfect lenses. It is used primarily as a rinsing agent, to flush lens cleaners or debris from the lens surface before storage, or to rinse lenses after hydrogen peroxide neutralisation. 

Acuvue RevitaLens stands out from many multi-purpose solutions because of its dual disinfectant system, which uses two active disinfecting agents rather than one, providing a broader spectrum of protection against bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens. This makes it a strong option for wearers who want a high level of confidence in their lens hygiene routine. Its compatibility with silicone hydrogel materials is also a key advantage for Acuvue Oasys wearers. Compared to hydrogen peroxide systems like AOSEPT PLUS or Easysept, RevitaLens is more convenient for everyday use as it requires no neutralisation step or special case.

Yes. While Acuvue RevitaLens is a multi-purpose solution, opticians and contact lens associations consistently recommend a rub-and-rinse cleaning method for all reusable soft lenses, regardless of the solution used. This involves applying a few drops of solution to the lens and rubbing gently with your fingertip for 20 seconds before rinsing and storing. Rubbing dislodges surface deposits, proteins, and debris more effectively than soaking alone, particularly for silicone hydrogel lenses, which can attract lipid deposits. This step significantly improves the hygiene and comfort of your lenses over the course of their wearing period.
