Contact lenses are prone to accumulation of protein debris and other micro-organisms. Contact lenses need to be cared for regularly using specific solutions that are consistent with the lenses and the eyes as well.

For cleaning and disinfecting O2 Optix contact lenses, try Aquify Multi-Purpose Solution. It cleans, disinfects and moisturizes contact lenses. This solution contains Dexpant-5, an ingredient that combats eye dryness and Sorbitol, a natural humectant that seals in moisture to prevent lens dehydration. Aquify Multi-Purpose Solution can be used with your O2 Optix lenses either as a 10-second rub with 5 minute soak or as a 4-hour soak with no rub.

Clear Care Solution is another ideal cleaning solution for O2 Optix contact lenses. It contains hydrogen peroxide that effectively cleans, disinfects and removes protein build-up in O2 Optix and other contact lenses. It also eliminates cleaning inconvenience with its no rub formula. A disposable lens case with built-in cleaner comes with every package of Clear Care Solution.

Yet another recommended cleaning solution is the Solo-care Aqua. It is a multi-purpose cleaning solution that has a unique anti-bacterial lens case. Solo-care Aqua features HydroLock to lock in moisture and MicroBlock to block out bacteria for overall eye comfort and health. It ensures all-round protection for the eyes.

For contact lenses wearers who constantly experience dry eyes, check out Aquify Drops. Aquify Drops contain special blink-activated components that act like natural tears that guarantee continued eye comfort. Aquify Drops are compatible with all types of contact lenses especially silicone hydgrogel lenses.

As soon as you insert your O2 Optix contact lenses in your eyes, clean the contact lens case. Make sure it is dry before closing the lid. To remove contact lenses, always handle the right lens first. Clean them with the abovementioned recommended cleaning solutions. Follow the instructions for solution usage. Most of the problems with contact lenses occur due to improper cleaning and handling. As with all contact lenses, O2 Optix lenses need to be stored correctly to prevent bacteria to get into the lenses and into the eyes and cause eye irritations. A healthy reminder, keep the eyes lubricated with re-wetting solution to prevent dryness. Use eye drops that are compatible with contact lenses.

As a precaution, always wash hands before inserting or removing contact lenses. Dirt, lotions, soap and other chemicals can easily be transferred to the contact lenses through touch. Contaminated lenses can cause eye infections. For the ladies, do not forget to insert your contact lenses first before putting eye make-up on and remove the lenses first before taking your eye make-up off.
