Renu Contact Lens Solutions

Renu MPS is a multi-purpose contact lens solution from Bausch + Lomb that cleans, rinses, disinfects, and stores soft contact lenses in one step. It is one of the most widely used contact lens solutions in the UK, available in several formats, including a single flat-pack and a convenient three-pack. Renu MPS is compatible with most standard soft lens materials including silicone hydrogel lenses, and uses a disinfecting system that protects against a broad spectrum of bacteria and pathogens.

Yes, Renu MPS is formulated for use with silicone hydrogel contact lenses as well as standard hydrogel lenses. For the best cleaning results with silicone hydrogel lenses, always use a rub-and-rinse method before storing, as silicone hydrogel materials are more prone to lipid deposit build-up than traditional hydrogel lenses.

The lifespan of a Renu MPS bottle depends on how often you wear your lenses and how much solution you use per session. A standard 240 ml bottle typically provides around one month of daily use for a regular wearer. Renu MPS bottles should be discarded within 90 days of opening, even if the bottle is not empty. Never use solution beyond the expiry date printed on the bottle. The three-pack format is a popular choice for regular wearers, as it provides approximately three months of supply and works out more cost-effective per bottle than buying individually.

No. You should never top up old solution in your lens case with fresh Renu MPS. Topping up reduces the efficacy of the solution to disinfect. Each time you store your lenses, empty the case completely, rinse it with fresh Renu solution, allow it to air dry face down on a clean tissue, and fill it fully with fresh solution before placing your lenses inside. This routine significantly reduces the risk of microbial contamination and lens-related eye infections.

Renu MPS is well tolerated by most wearers, but some people with sensitive eyes or a known preservative intolerance can experience reactions to the preservative system used in standard multi-purpose solutions, including Renu. If you notice persistent redness, stinging, or discomfort when using Renu MPS, you may benefit from switching to a preservative-free solution, but only at the advice of the optometrist.
