BCLA compiles solutions guide

The BCLA has compiled a branded solutions compendium to help practitioners check the compatibility of care products and lens materials.

The Branded Care Solutions Compendium lists 28 own-branded solutions sold by eight optical groups, supermarkets and pharmacies in the UK: Asda, Dollond & Aitchison, Sainsbury, Superdrug, Tesco, Specsavers, Boots Opticians and Vision Express.

The list, which is only available to members, is compiled by former BCLA president Professor James Wolffsohn at Aston University.

For each own-branded solution the compendium lists the product name and the ingredients given on the packaging. It also states the most likely branded product and supplier.

Products covered include multipurpose solutions, peroxide systems and RGP soaking and wetting solutions. Each product is pictured to aid identification.
