Contact Lens Cleaning Q
I am between eye doctors right now.
Many years ago, I wore basic daily-wear soft contact lenses and cleaned them with the AOSept system (lens cup, cleaning solution, neutralizer disc, etc.) Eventually, I switched to extended wear lenses, which I still take out every night. At that time, I also switched to a multi-purpose cleaning and storage solution.
The good news is that the multi-purpose, "no rub" cleaning solution is WAY cheaper than all the AOSept gear. However, I have been wearing extended wear lenses for about 8 years, and I've never felt like the multipurpose solution was quite as effective, but -- hey, you're throwing the lenses out eventually anyway, right?
The other day, I saw that a generic version of the AOSept system is now available. I'm guessing their patent must have expired. So my question is:
Can I use AOSept or its generic version on my extended-wear soft lenses?
Re: Contact Lens Cleaning Q
I wear 30-day contacts. Meaning that you wear them every day for 30 days, but have to take them out at night still. I use the cheapest brand of multi-purpose solution I can find. Oh, and BTW, I have been using the same pair of contacts since Feb. Don't tell my Dr!!
Not sure if this answers your question or not... but GL
