Rigid Lens Solutions
As with soft lens care systems, rigid lens care systems are most effective when used as a ‘‘system,’’ avoiding mixing and matching of products from different systems. Rigid lenses must be cleaned daily (with a daily cleaner) and disinfected daily (soaking in a disinfecting solution over night). Weekly enzymatic cleaning is also recommended.
The products are listed in two ways – in the first section, all products are listed and divided by the type of lens care product. The categories of lens care products available are as follows:
–Daily Cleaner
–Saline Solution
–Enzymatic Cleaners
–Daily Protein Removers
–Cleaning/Soaking/Disinfecting Solutions/Multipurpose (all-in-one) Solutions
–Laboratory Cleaners (polishing/cleaning compounds)
