How to choose a solution for lenses

Given the variety of solutions for lenses, you need to know which means for contact ophthalmic optics is right for you. The first thing you need to pay attention to is the composition:

1. Saline solution similar in properties to human tears, but does not have a sufficient bactericidal effect. The tool is one of the cheapest in its segment, but unpopular due to its low efficiency.
2. Peroxide solution allows you to clean the lenses carefully through the main active ingredient of hydrogen peroxide - an effective and relatively safe component. After a couple of hours, the oxide is neutralized in a special container.
3. Enzyme capsules or tablets it is convenient to take with you and dilute as needed; active enzymes can neutralize any contamination of the lenses; solutions are suitable for cleaning different types of optics.
4. Multifunctional solutions At the same time, reusable lenses are moisturized, cleaned and disinfected, but attention should be paid to their specialization (lens type, mucosal sensitivity).

Opti-Free Express

Rating: 4.6

In third place is a solution based on protein compounds Opti-Free Express of domestic production, complete with which is sold a container for lenses.

But it is rather an exception to the general rule.

There are no complaints about the quality of the solution - it does not affect the mucous membranes with the exception of cases of allergic reactions to the components of the preparation.

The volume of a bottle of solution Opti-Free Express 355 ml, while the average price of it - 400 rubles.

It removes any impurities of organic and bacterial origin from the surface of the lenses for 6 hours, after which it is also neutralized in a special container. Sauflon One Step is suitable for daily use due to its relatively low concentration compared to AOsept, but it should not be used daily.

Judging by the reviews, users are confused by the complex instructions for use offered by the seller, as well as a rigid container that can scratch night lenses during cleaning - containers with soft holders are more suitable for rigid optics.
