To keep your monthly or weekly lenses working to their best standard and feeling super comfortable you need to clean them at least once a day. Using a contact lens cleaner and a saline solution is a great way to get rid of any dirt or debris that has built up on the surface of the lens. We stock several high-quality cleaners and salines perfect for doing the job quickly and effectively.
Contact lens cleaners and saline solutions serve distinct roles in lens care. Daily cleaners such as Boston Advance Cleaner use surfactants to manually remove protein, lipid, and microbial deposits from the surface of a rigid gas permeable lens through a rubbing action. Saline solutions are sterile salt solutions used primarily to rinse lenses after cleaning, removing residual cleaner before storage or insertion. Saline does not disinfect contact lenses and should not be used alone as a substitute for a complete multi-purpose or disinfecting solution.
For most soft lens wearers using a multi-purpose solution, a separate cleaner is not necessary, as multi-purpose solutions handle cleaning, rinsing, disinfecting, and storage in one step. For rigid gas-permeable lens wearers, a dedicated daily cleaner is always required as part of the care routine.
Saline solution is a simple sterile salt solution that rinses debris and residue from lens surfaces but does not disinfect. Multi-purpose solution combines cleaning agents, disinfectants, and conditioners to clean, rinse, disinfect, and store contact lenses in one product. For soft contact lens wearers, a multi-purpose solution handles the entire care routine. Saline is most useful as a rinsing step alongside hydrogen peroxide systems or dedicated daily cleaners, and can also be used to refresh daily disposable contact lenses during the day.
