Saving Money On Cleaning Contact Lenses

RE: Saving Money On Cleaning Contact Lenses Post By cari (Guest Post) (12/30/2004) Walmart seems to be one of the cheapest for multipurpose solution. I use their store brand multipurpose solution for rinsing and cleaning. The saline stings my eyes. I have never had any problems with the generic brands and I'm a contact wearer for almost 20 years. RE: Saving Money On Cleaning Contact Lenses Post By Tamster (Guest Post) (12/30/2004) I would caution anyone who uses generic solutions. Some of them are loaded with preservatives that can cause allergic reactions. And while it's OK to rinse your contacts with saline solution, please make sure you clean and disinfect with a multipurpose solution! NEVER, NEVER just use saline to clean your contacts! I worked as an optometric assistant for 15 years, and I've seen what can happen when someone only uses saline, and my own daughter had a reaction to her generic solution. Just a note of caution!

Saline is cheaper than the multi-purpose solution, so I rinse with the saline and store in the multi-purpose solution. Use generic brands which are cheaper than name brands, even if you have a manufacturer's coupon. By Syd
