Never let anyone tell you that Thomas Young wasn't dedicated to his research. He reduced the size to a quarter of an inch, and then he glued it to his eyeball. Thomas Young, a British scientist, took the idea one step further in 1801.
The good news about this apparatus was, it kind of improved vision! Bad news was it made blinking impossible. Descartes's idea was to put the glass tube in direct contact with the cornea. However, about a century later, French philosopher René Descartes learned of da Vinci's idea and thought of an alternative. Unfortunately, it wasn't terribly effective. He then devised a funnel with a glass lens, kind of like an aquatic monocle. In 1508 C.E., the great inventor had an idea: he believed that submerging the head in water could alter vision. Learning about some medieval scholar trying to shove small wooden disks into his eyes would just give you the creeps.ĭespite any misgivings we may have, the idea for contacts dates all the way back to (who else?) Leonardo da Vinci. or so, you probably wouldn't want to know about it. Added Bausch + Lomb ReNu and Equate Saline Sensitive due to their high quality and budget-friendly pricing and expanded offerings to include more options for rigid gas permeable lens users.Ĭontact lenses are one of those things that, if a version of them existed before 1950 C.E.
#BEST CONTACT LENS CLEANER PLUS#
Moved PuriLens Plus Preservative Free down because it must be used within 15 days of opening. If you're unsure of exactly what steps you need to take to ensure you're using your solution properly, you should consult your ophthalmologist. The chemicals contained in contact solutions can irritate - and potentially harm - your eyes if not used correctly. Also, a fresh lens case is included with each package, so be sure to dispose of your previous case and use a fresh one upon opening each package.Ĭarefully following the included directions applies to all the items on our list, of course. You have to let your lenses soak for a minimum of 6 hours - although longer is better - to give the peroxide enough time to be fully neutralized. With that said, we must note that it's important to follow the instructions carefully with this one. This formulation is one of the most frequently recommended by ophthalmologists, and it's a good value, too. We've changed very little since the last go, but the most notable adjustment we've made is in moving Alcon's Clear Care formula up to the top spot. On this update, we've been happy to see that all of the options we chose to put on our previous ranking have stood the test of time. Plus, unlike some huge bottles, these should fit neatly in a toiletry organizer, although they're too big to make it past the TSA in your carry on. The bottles are relatively small at only 4 ounces, however, so getting through one of them isn't too tall of an order. True to its name, it has no preservatives, which also means it has a shorter shelf life than most you should plan to discard it within two weeks of opening the bottle. For a budget-friendly option, we added Equate Sterile, which tends to be less pricey than all of the former.Īs for saline solution, PuriLens Plus Preservative Free is a go-to for many. These are popular, easy to use formulas for both disinfecting and storage. If you'd prefer to skip the hydrogen peroxide, then Opti-Free Puremoist, Biotrue Multi-Purpose, and Bausch & Lomb Renu remain great choices. Because eye irritation seems to be less common with this "regular" Clear Care, we've retained it over the Plus version with HydraGlyde, which seems more likely to cause problems. You absolutely must follow all usage instructions - and note that some users experience discomfort, even when the solution is used properly. When it comes to the choice best able to tackle such bacteria, many users and doctors prefer Alcon Clear Care, which employs hydrogen peroxide to get the job done.
Plain saline solution can help with rinsing and storage, but it will not kill the nasty little germs that cause infection.
You'll still find a range of both saline and multipurpose/disinfecting solutions here, but please keep in mind that only the latter were designed to actually clean your lenses.
