What the AI looks for in Hard Contact Lens Care Products
- GP-labeled products only
- Use solutions labeled for rigid gas permeable lenses. Soft lens solutions do not condition GP surfaces and may not suit the material.
- Surface treatment compatibility
- Check with your fitter before using abrasive daily cleaners on plasma-treated or coated lenses. Abrasive cleaners can strip surface treatments.
- Scleral fill solution
- Fill scleral lenses with preservative-free saline, not multipurpose or conditioning solution. Preservatives held against the cornea for hours cause toxicity.
Brands that matter
- Bausch + Lomb: Boston GP care line.
- Menicon: Menicare and LacriPure GP and scleral care.
What to avoid
- Using soft lens solutions on GP lenses
- Rinsing GP lenses with tap water
- Filling scleral lenses with preserved solutions
Questions
Can I use hydrogen peroxide on GP lenses?
Some peroxide systems are labeled for rigid gas permeable lenses. Check the label and ask your fitter.
