Multi-purpose solutions are the most popular and hygienic choice for cleaning and storing soft contact lenses. We stock a wide range of all-in-one solutions perfect for caring for your contact lenses and making sure that they work to the highest standard.
A multi-purpose contact lens solution (MPS) is an all-in-one care product that cleans, rinses, disinfects, and stores reusable soft contact lenses (comes in a single bottle), replacing older multi-step care regimes. Multi-purpose solutions combine surfactants for cleaning, antimicrobial agents for disinfection, and conditioning agents to maintain lens moisture during storage. Popular MPS brands at Vision Direct include everclear REFRESH, Biotrue Multi-Purpose Solution, Renu MPS, Opti-Free Puremoist, and Acuvue RevitaLens.
To use a multi-purpose solution correctly, place your lens in your palm, apply a few drops, and rub gently with your fingertip for 20 seconds on each side. Rinse thoroughly with fresh solution, then place the lens in a clean case filled fully with fresh MPS and soak for the minimum time stated on the packaging, typically four to six hours. Always discard used solution completely after each wear and never top it up. Replace your lens case every one to three months, and discard any solution more than 90 days after opening.
Multi-purpose solutions handle all stages of contact lens care in one product with no special case or neutralisation required, the most convenient everyday option. Hydrogen peroxide systems deliver a more in-depth clean that removes deposits and pathogens more evectively. They require a dedicated neutralising case and a minimum soaking period of 6 hours. Multi-purpose solution suits most routine wearers; hydrogen peroxide systems are better suited for sensitive eyes,wearers with build up of deposists, or those wanting the deepest possible clean.
