One of the most important steps for healthy contact lens wear is to wash and dry your hands before touching your contact lenses.
Once your hands are washed and dry, you can clean your contact lenses with the CLEAR CARE® Solution. It all starts with the unique CLEAR CARE® Solution lens case.
Each new purchase of CLEAR CARE® Solution comes with a special lens case that must be used for the CLEAR CARE® Solution to work properly.
With the special lens case, you’ll actually be able to see the CLEAR CARE® Solution working—killing germs and removing protein, bacteria, dirt, and buildup.
Once ready, remove and place each soft contact lens into the specially designed lens holders in the unique CLEAR CARE® Solution lens case.
Do not put CLEAR CARE® Solution on your contact lenses and insert them directly into the eye, or burning, stinging, or redness will result.
For Soft Contact Lenses:
For Gas Permeable Contact Lenses:
Always allow your contact lenses to soak for at least six hours or overnight in the CLEAR CARE® Solution. This time is required to ensure complete neutralization of the hydrogen peroxide.
Also, make sure to put away your CLEAR CARE® Solution so that it is not accidentally mistaken as a multipurpose solution by a guest or a family member.
