To ensure an optimal and comfortable visual experience, it's crucial to take good care of your contact lenses by cleaning and disinfecting them regularly.

On this page, we offer a complete guide to the use of different contact lens care products:

1. Multifunction solutions: soft contact lens care

Multifunction solutions are the most popular and practical contact lens care products. They clean, decontaminate, disinfect, rinse, moisturize and store your lenses in a single step.

How to use them :

• Wash your hands thoroughly with mild soap and dry them with a lint-free cloth.
• Place a few drops of Multifunction Solution in the palm of your hand.
• Place the lens on your finger and rub gently for 20 seconds on each side to remove deposits and impurities.
• Rinse the lens thoroughly with the multifunction solution.
• Place the lens in its case and fill it with fresh multifunction solution.
• Close the case and put it away.

2. Hydrogen peroxide : soft and rigid contact lens care

Hydrogen peroxide is an older, but still effective, contact lens care system offering deep disinfection. It is often used in combination with a saline solution.

How to use it :

• Wash your hands thoroughly with mild soap and dry them with a lint-free cloth.
• Fill your lens case with saline solution.
• Add a few drops of hydrogen peroxide to the saline solution.
• Soak your lenses in the solution for at least 3 hours, or according to the manufacturer's instructions.

3. Deproteinizing :

Deproteinizers are specific products designed to remove protein deposits that can build up on contact lenses over time. These deposits can make lenses blurred and uncomfortable, and can even increase the risk of infections.

How to use it :

• Wash your hands thoroughly with mild soap and dry them with a lint-free cloth.
• Apply a few drops of deproteinizer to each lens and rub gently for 20 seconds on each side.
• Rinse lenses thoroughly with multipurpose solution.
• Clean and disinfect your lenses as usual with your multifunction solution.

4. Moisturizing drops :

Moisturizing eye drops can be useful for relieving dry, irritated eyes, especially in dry or dusty environments, or when using computers or screens for long periods.

How to use them :

• Apply one or two drops to each eye, as required.
• Blink several times to distribute the drops evenly.
• Moisturizing drops can be used as often as necessary, even if you wear contact lenses.

Important tips:

• Strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions for each cleaning product.
• Never share your contact lenses with anyone else.
• Replace your contact lenses and lens case at the intervals recommended by your ophthalmologist or optician.
• Never wear your contact lenses for longer than recommended.
• Consult your ophthalmologist immediately if you experience eye discomfort, redness, irritation or blurred vision.

By caring for your contact lenses with the right care products and following these simple tips, you can enjoy clear, comfortable and healthy vision.
