The right contact lens solution

Optician collates some of the best performing contact lens solutions available to UK practitioners

Multipurpose solution

As well as its one-step peroxide system, Mark’ennovy has a multipurpose solution available in 60ml and 360ml bottles.

The solution contains hyaluronic acid, which lubricates and protects the contact lens from the adhesion of lipids in order to provide maximum comfort throughout the day. The addition of sodium citrate helps remove protein deposits.

The product is said to be suitable for all types of soft contact lenses, including silicone hydrogel lenses, and comes with an antimicrobial lens case. The eye-catching black and white box is said to complement the company’s current comprehensive contact lens offering.

In keeping with the Mark’ennovy ethos, the solution is only available to eye care professionals and is not sold on the internet. 

 

Solocare Aqua

Solocare Aqua by Menicon is said to be a high-performance soft contact lens solution that provides wearers with longer-lasting hydration and hassle-free lens cleaning in as little as five minutes.

Using HydroLock technology, the Solocare Aqua solution cleans, disinfects and preserves lenses to improve hygiene and protect eye health. 

Contact lens wearers are said to benefit from guaranteed all-day comfort with the unique solution working to lock in moisture and minimise dryness.

Menicon says the product’s innovative MicroBlock lens case acts as an unbeatable barrier against contaminants. Through its fast-working antimicrobial action, the case swiftly eradicates bacteria on contact, giving wearers confidence in their lenses by ensuring they remain clean and safe at all times.

Solocare Aqua lens solution is available in various sizes, making it suitable for use when at home or on-the-go.

 

Regard

Avizor describes its Regard solution as an innovative disinfection system that releases no preservatives on the eyes.

The company says eye care professionals are continually looking out for solutions to improve contact lens fits and avoid dropouts, and that Regard provides effective cleaning, disinfecting and moisturising while preserving the user’s ocular health.

Additionally, Regard is said to provide enhanced comfort due to artificial tear ingredient hypromellose and oxygen released on the ocular surface, prevent dryness and corneal staining, and is compatible with soft lenses, including silicone hydrogels.

 

Sensation

Oté’s Sensation contact lens solution is said to be an innovative all-in-one solution, which combines safety with comfort thanks to the double disinfecting system, and the addition of high quality hyaluronate.

The company says that the double disinfectant system gives exceptional cleaning qualities and extra comfort due to the inclusion of dry eye drop ingredient hyaluronate.

The solution is pH neutral and is said to be very mild and effective. Oté notes that it has a reliable supply of the product, which is available for home delivery.

 

Biotrue Multi-Purpose Solution 

Biotrue Multi-Purpose Solution brings together three bio-inspired innovations that are said to make wearing contact lenses easier.

First, it is uniquely formulated to match the pH of healthy tears helping maintain the eye’s natural conditions and balance.

Second, the solution utilises hyaluronan found naturally in the eyes to provide up to 20 hours of moisture for long-lasting comfort throughout the day.

Third, Biotrue’s protein management system keeps healthy tear protein lysozyme active, maintaining its inherent antimicrobial activity while removing denatured protein deposits on the lens surface.

These three bio-inspired innovations are said to combine with excellent disinfection to keep contact lenses clean, moist and comfortable.

The company says that 97% of patients report satisfaction with the solution. The product is available in a range of sizes: 2x300ml, 300ml, 240ml flat bottle, and flight pack 1x100ml. Free starter kits are available to practices.
