Why eye doctors recommend it

Hydrogen peroxide is a deep-cleaning way to disinfect contact lenses, and CLEAR CARE is the hydrogen peroxide solution brand most used by eye doctors. While your lenses soak, the special case neutralizes the peroxide into a gentle saline, leaving no preservatives behind. That makes it a good choice for lens wearers whose eyes are sensitive to multipurpose solutions.

Is CLEAR CARE right for me?

• A good fit if you wear soft or RGP contact lenses and want a deep, no-rub clean.
• A good fit if preservatives in multipurpose solutions bother your eyes.
• A good fit if you can leave your lenses to soak for at least 6 hours, such as overnight.
• Prefer a simpler routine? A multipurpose solution like Biotrue Multi Purpose Solution may suit you better.
• Not for rinsing lenses or putting in your eyes. Never put CLEAR CARE directly in your eyes.

Other options to consider

• Biotrue Multi Purpose Solution: a multipurpose solution for soft lenses, if you'd rather not wait for neutralizing.
• Tangible Clean Multi-Purpose Solution: another multipurpose option for cleaning and storing lenses.
• Menicon Unique pH: a multipurpose solution made for RGP lenses.

• No rubbing required
• Neutralizes to a gentle saline, with no preservatives left on your lenses
• Works with all soft and RGP contact lenses

How to use

1. Wash, rinse and dry your hands.
2. Place your lenses in the baskets and rinse for 5 seconds with the solution. No rubbing required.
3. Fill the lens case to the line with the solution. Do not underfill or overfill.
4. Place the lens holder in the case and tighten the lid. Do not shake the case.
5. Soak for at least 6 hours to neutralize before wearing your lenses.
6. Always use the new lens case provided with each new purchase. Throw the bottle away 3 months after opening.

What to expect

You'll see bubbles in the case while the peroxide neutralizes. This is normal and shows the solution is working. After at least 6 hours, your lenses are ready to wear. If you want to rinse them first, use sterile saline, never CLEAR CARE.

Key ingredients

• Hydrogen peroxide 3%: cleans and disinfects lenses, then neutralizes in the special case

• Menicon LacriPure: sterile, preservative-free saline in single-use vials for rinsing lenses before insertion
• PuriLens Plus Contact Lens Saline: a preservative-free saline in a 4 fl oz bottle for rinsing lenses
