For your eye health, it is vital that your lenses feel comfortable and clean all the time. Unless you're using daily disposable contact lenses, regular disinfection and soaking of your contacts in a good quality contact lens solution is an everyday necessity and a habit that should become your second nature. You must take good care of your contact lenses to ensure they are safe and comfortable. Incorrect handling and maintenance or lens wear can cause serious problems including blindness.

Only the most respected and well-respected brands will be featured in our selection of contacts lenses solutions. These products are made by manufacturers of contacts. It is recommended that they be used with a matching brand of contacts in order to get the best results. However, it is not always the norm, nor does it really matter which brand you choose but you should always follow your eye doctor's advice. For example, Acuvue Revitalens, formerly known as Complete Revitalens, is made by Johnson & Johnson, the Acuvue contact lens manufacturer, so it is recommended to use it with, for instance Acuvue Oasys.
