Multipurpose solution

 

 

 

 

Multipurpose solution is an all-in-one care system used to clean, rinse, disinfect, and store soft contact lenses. This solution is the most commonly used care system among soft contact lens wearers. Follow these steps for proper use of multipurpose solution:

 

1. Rub and rinse your contact lenses and store them in fresh solution every time you take them out.

 

2. Never mix fresh solution with old or used solution in the case—a practice called “topping off”—since it reduces the effectiveness of disinfection.

 

3. Rub and rinse your contact lens storage case with fresh solution (never water) every day.

 

4. Empty all excess solution out of the case, and dry it with a fresh, clean tissue.

 

5. Store the clean case upside down on a fresh, clean tissue with the caps off after each use in order to prevent germs from building up in the case.
