To a lens wearer, the palpate lens explication will be approximately as foremost as the actual palpate lenses - if they are wearing two-weekly disposables, monthly disposables, or extended wear lenses, that is. There are a estimate of separate types of solutions out there, and an even larger estimate of separate brands, so doing your study is important.
[b]Lens[/b]Your palpate lens explication has three main tasks. It should clean your lenses so that they are comfortable and clear, and more than 90% of germs should be killed. As your palpate lenses are of course infected by germs from all colse to you, together with your fingers and tap water, a explication should also disinfect your contacts to ensure that no unwanted bacteria reaches your eye and causes irritation. Finally, it should maximise the ease of your lenses by acting as an supplementary wetting agent. Without solution, your palpate lenses can dry out and lose their shape completely.
The most favorite type of explication is multipurpose solution, which takes care of all of the above, primarily cleaning and disinfecting. Its popularity could be down to the fact that it is very easy to use and makes enzyme tablets for removing protein deposits redundant. Soaking your palpate lenses in multipurpose solution, all you have to do is to rinse with saline explication before inserting them again. Saline explication does just that: it rinses the lens for you and keeps it hydrated. Never replace multipurpose explication with saline alone, as this is very similar to your tears and does not of course disinfect the lens.
Many wearers rub their lenses with their fingertip and a daily cleaner for about 20 seconds every day. This is a quick and easy way of holding your palpate lenses clean, but caution must be taken to avoid breaking the lens with a nail. Your lens case should get its fair share of scrubbing as well, as germs will spread fast in a dirty case. Rinse with explication every day and leave the case open to dry, and once a week or so, use a clean toothbrush to give it a allowable scrub.
A hydrogen peroxide explication disinfects your palpate lenses and can be used as one-step or two-step routines. For the two-step system, a Saline explication must be used afterwards to neutralise the supervene and ensure that no peroxide remains in the lenses. An enzymatic cleaner can be used occasionally to take off any proteins that could cause discomfort. This type of cleaner comes as a tablet which is dropped into your explication and left to soak overnight, but some multipurpose solutions have a similar supervene built-in, development the tablets unnecessary.
Daily disposable palpate lenses don't need any cleaning as they are thrown out at the end of every day. It is a myth that the endurance of daily lenses can be extended thanks to a thorough cleaning regime, as palpate lens solutions are not of course made for these types of lenses.
Your optician will designate you with a explication that suits your eyes and palpate lenses. The type of explication they recommend will depend on the material of the lens you wear, how often you replace your lenses, and any allergies you may have. You should all the time supervene your optician's advice as the wrong explication could cause pain and irritation. Never re-use or top up old solutions, and all the time supervene instructions carefully. Keep the tip of the explication package closed, replace your explication regularly, and avoid palpate with water at all cost.
Why, when you have paid for high-quality palpate lenses, would you be stingy about the minor cost of holding them, and your eyes, healthy and clean? Or, as Aclm put it, you wouldn't put a piece of plastic into any other part of your body without disinfecting it first, would you?
