OptiFree Contact Lens Solutions

Opti-Free is a range of multi-purpose contact lens solutions made by Alcon, one of the world's leading eye care manufacturers. The range includes Opti-Free Puremoist and Opti-Free Express, each with a slightly different formula but all designed to clean, rinse, disinfect, and store soft contact lenses in a single step. The range is widely used alongside Alcon's Air Optix and Dailies contact lens ranges and is compatible with most soft lens materials. 

Opti-Free Puremoist is Alcon's most advanced formulation in the range, using HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix technology to maximise hydration. Opti-Free Express uses a slightly different formula where the emphasis is on disinfection and removal of deposits. 

Yes, Opti-Free Puremoist is ideal for use with silicone hydrogel contact lenses. Its Hydraglyde technology helps to maintain moisture on silicone hydrogel surfaces, which can otherwise feel slightly less comfortable than traditional hydrogel lenses. Always check the label to confirm compatibility with your specific lens type.

Yes, Opti-Free Puremoist is available in travel-sized formats. These compact bottles are designed to meet standard carry-on liquid restrictions, making them ideal for air travel. In the UK and across most of Europe, liquids in hand luggage must be in containers of 100 ml or less, stored in a clear resealable bag. For longer trips, packing a full-sized bottle in your hold luggage is more practical. Vision Direct stocks Opti-Free in a range of sizes, so you can stock up on full-size bottles for home and travel packs for when you are away.

A standard 300 ml Opti-Free bottle provides approximately one month of daily use for a regular lens wearer using the recommended amount each evening. Once opened, Opti-Free solutions should be used within 90 days. Check the opening date and discard any remaining solution after this point. Never top up old solution in the lens case with fresh product; always empty the case and replace the solution fully each time you store your lenses. Buying a multi-pack from Vision Direct reduces the per-bottle cost for regular wearers.
