Contact lenses?!


Question:

Contact lenses?

I heard there is a product out there called Clean and Clear that you can use on Acuvue 2 disposable lenses? Is this true and has anyone tried it. I wear contacts and throw them out every two weeks, this seems like a waste of money if I can use this product and make them last longer and not make the eye doctors richer and richer. Thanks!


Answers:

If the product you are referring to is called Clear Care, it is a very good peroxide cleaner for contacts, great for people who are prone to deposits and lipid buildup on you lenses....HOWEVER, over time, the oxygen poors in the contact lenses fail to transmit oxygen no matter how or what you use to clean them, so for the AV 2 lens, the life span is about 2 weeks. After that, the amount of oxygen that the eye gets is comprimised and in the long run it is not safe for the eye. There are lenses like the purevision and focus night and day that transmit much much more oxygen and are better for the health of the eye AND they are monthly lenses, but they are twice as expensive so you really aren't saving money. Sorry!
