Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lenses Cleaner

Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lenses Cleaner - There's No Shortcut to Good Eye Health

As any long-time contact user knows, a meticulous cleaning regime is a vital aspect of wearing contact lenses. Without proper care, contacts can quickly become irritating, inconvenient, and worst of all, unhealthy. The very antithesis of what it is they should ideally be. In this regard, that is, care and maintenance, Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lenses (RGP), have a distinct advantage over the more popular soft lenses. As a result of the materials from which they are constructed, Rigid Gas Permeable lenses do no attract protein deposits quite as easily as do soft contacts so a rigid gas permeable contact lenses cleaner need only remove excess dirt and possibly miniscule dust particles.

Cleaning solutions are almost as prolific as the range of lenses they can be used with, so its important to choose one that works for you and not to change unless first consulting with your eye care professional. Abruptly switching or mixing cleaners is definitely not recommended as it could lead to detrimental, even chronic eye problems. Typically, a cleaning as well as a disinfectant solution should be used (products are available that perform these two functions simultaneously) and then depending on the product used, neutralizers or saline solutions to cleanse and rinse the lenses. The latter can be used as a storing solution. Additionally, enzymatic solutions can be used occasionally to properly cleanse Rigid Gas Permeable lenses.

A Faster, Simpler RGP Contact Cleaner

Cleaning kits are available in one-bottle solutions that 'automate' many of the more tedious steps in contact lens care, or that at least make the entire process a little less deliberate. Some brand name Rigid Gas Permeable contact lens cleaning solutions are CIBA Vision's AQuify 5 Minute Multi-Purpose care solution and Bausch & Lomb's Boston Simplus product. One thing to keep in mind is that while such products make caring for your lenses easier, by no means should you ever take short-cuts or try to circumvent steps in your cleaning routine. The end result will only be to your own detriment.
