How to Clean Contact Lenses : Cleaning Contacts With Clear Care

[3g00fy4]

So can i not use other solutions with this case?

[ramenisify]

if i want to put my contacts into a contact lens case, do i use a separate bought saline solution or can i use the Clear Care solution when it turns saline after 6 hours?

[Shon9tilR]

Um, I didn't know I had to open the disk and put the lenses in so instead I put them on the outside. But it did soak for 6 hrs. Should I redo it? I'm scared to put them on. Help!

[St0omp]

I just put them in my palm then pour some solution over it then rub them in circles * thats what she said * with my thumbs ..

[FLiH69]

Does The Solution Bring That Lil Thing With It Or Is It Seperate? Sorry iDidnt Hear My iPod Isnt Very Loud/: & If It Comes Seperate Where Can iBuy It? Thanks(:

[applesmnch2]

wait, on the website, it says at least 6 hrs. so, yeah

[ReiReimodel]

@applesmnch2 yea.. i had the same question. i re-read the bottle just to make sure, and it says 6 hours or atleast overnight. I was scared for a second.

[applesmnch2]

does is have to be for 6 hours? or can it be more?

[xoivyemmaxo]

I would get this but the problem is tht i get about 9 hours of sleep which is more than 6 hours needed for this and i wont wake up just 2 take them out. Tips on wat i can do?? Is there one of those container contraptions tht dosent require 6 hours??? Thx

[TaylorMarie831]

They aren't going to be sued!!!! It says on the label NOT to put this solution in your eyes!!! Many times! I am excited to use this solution because it cleans so well and it doesn't have harsh chemicals like others do. My eye dr. Told me to switch today :)

[chingchingR6]

this solutiopn is complete garbage...

[yurfavmexican]

i found out the hardway i burnt the shit out of my right eye this morning(never read instructions) now i had to wear my glasses to school and all the hot chicks didnt dig it. =*(

[porschedemon1]

@yurfavmexican AHAHAHA this happend to me this morning but it was my left eye. As for the girls, i just didn't bother going to school lol. IT was sore as hell.

[lucyferrabee]

what if i want to take out my lenses for a bit during the day, but don't want to spend 6 hours neutralising them? can i put them in the neutralised solution that i used in the night before?

[fashionbug9880]

@lucyferrabee just use normal contact lense solution.

[lookersd]

can u use eye cleaning stuff for like messed up eyes?

[strawberrysugarchips]

TT^TT i didnt clean my lenses properly so now there are some king of greenish bacteria growing on it. :( I need new ones and this time ill definitely take care of it!

[TheLeighrok]

My mom works with Ciba Vision (maker of clear care) you can use colored contacts in clear care.

[dimonz29]

can you use that case in colored contacts?? :)

[Moonlitstars98]

oh well actually i dont have a lens case but i have the storage case and i put a similar solution but i forgot to put it in for 4 hours and drain it then my eyes started burning on fire i looked it was in bold letters SOAK CONTACTS FOR 4 HOURSN THEN STORE AWAY IN LENS CASE. I WAS LIKE OH I COULD BURN MY EYES OUT!

[yagr93]

I have 1 problem with this, when I want to wear the contact lenses again after 6 hours, the lenses in the basket are kinda 'dry', can I use the neutralized solution in the case to wet the contacts? my eyes got very dry from the minute the lenses were inside...

[jingpaopao]

Hi, it is so nice of you to make this video!!!

I have a question: I just bought this product and it is seemed like the clear care just can take good care of the outside of the lenses, since the inside is totally stick to the case.

I don't know what will happen when it is neutralizing, but do you think this is a problem?

Thank you!!

[TheNYtrooper]

so from what he said at 1:14 - 1:25 the dirty solution turns to clean solution and you can use it as a rinse?

[scienceinproducts]

@TheNYtrooper Don't use it as a rinse

[BunnyAngelPanther]

To the people calling this way to clean and store your lenses 'dangerous' you are completely incorrect!

As someone who is unable to wear lenses that have been soaked in any solution except for a hydrogen peroxide one, I can say that this is actually one of the best solutions out there.

The cleaning method is so thorough it reduces chances of eye infections and best of all for me, I get no unwanted irritation when I put my lenses in.

Only idiots are the people in any 'danger' follow the instr

[thirakwa]

What a poorly made video. It hardly gives any information about how the solution works. As some have noted, the solution contains hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which actually cleans the lens. However, H2O2 is corrosive and you don't want it to touch your eyes. So the system here has a small amount of catalyst in the brown disc, which decomposes the peroxide as follows

2 H2O2 --> 2 H2O + O2 (<--creates bubbles)

The reaction is slow, hence the 6 hr wait to ensure all traces of H2O2 are eliminated.

[ajoemar2009]

hello,i do have this product. after using this couple of times,might be 10-15 times, i've noticed the bubbling effect only last one hour or less. is there something wrong with it? coz it was my 1st time to try this. or anyone experience same problem? pls advice. thanks to all

[soshifiedgurl]

what do you call that thingy machine?? :)

[emoopido]

how much the cleaner uh??? huhuhuhu i dont have that.. thats why my eye was usualy pain.. ever..

[Tornadochick91]

do i have to put in new solution every night?

[silentcid]

@Tornadochick91

Yes each night because the peroxide solution chemically changes into sterile solution. BTW you usually suppose to do that with all solutions.

[chingchingR6]

@silentcid

yes you are supposed to do this with all solution hence the simalarities between this product and all the others which is why so many people have learnt the hard way and put this shit into their eyes.. This product is very dangerous and should be properly labelled... this product is asking for a lawsuit and is just waiting to get run out of business

[daffysteph]

i have been using this product for 3 months now and have yet to have any problems with it. i use it for overnite cleaning. i also have a saline solution for quick rinses if needed. so far i like it ^_^

[KissyCathyCat]

what happens if you do put it directly, ? cuz i did and i have 9-15 months ones, so i cant get a new pair. Do i have to get a new pair?

[silentcid]

@KissyCathyCat What he mean is the solution is not a multi-purpose solution like no-rub ones. This has hydrogen peroxide and will only work inside the special case that comes with it. The platinum disc breaks the peroxide chemically turning it into sterile solution. If you do this for example rinse your lens with it then put it in your eye it will burn.

[MrChop125]

men your hands are dirty!

[cherbicide]

Buy this stuff and one day you will inadvertently use it like normal solution and experience the worst horrific pain imaginable.

[gooooblaster1800]

I find that method of cleaning your contacts scary and dangous

[AcousticSorceress]

Please, can someone tell me, Is it normal that after i cleaned my contact lenses properly and put them as doctor told me to do, my eyes become red and it hurts?Then I just wait for 10 sec and it stops.Is it happening to anyone or just to me?I take care of hygiene too much, i even clean my lenses for about a minute, more than i should.and do all the recommended stuff.???Thank you in advance!

[onealhart54]

@AcousticSorceress your eye probably just reacts to the sudden irritation of a lens in an extreme way

[scienceinproducts]

@AcousticSorceress

Probably the saline balance is too much for your eye. There might to too much, or too little, salt in the solution. You can rinse your lenses with another saline solution if you need.

[09andrewf]

First day of this solution... when i came to put my lenses on i felt like somthing was poking my eye only the right eye tho..is that normal??

[lisan004]

this contact solution sucks balls!

[SimShaper1]

I bought this today by accident, since the store was out of my regular product, and the instructions a little hard to understand, this was a big help.

-Thanks

[cool7654321]

I would say this is better than multipurpose solutions ( in cleaning and comfort ). I don't like how you can't clean it with the solution but, my eyes feel so comfortable when i put my contacts on. It doesn't have that multipurpose sting to it.

[arenaskies]

So, does this mean I can use contacts more than the expiration date?

[Mixxez99]

can you use different solutions

[mae2t]

so after leaving the contacts inside the bottle thingy for 6 hours... can you use them right away or do you have to wash them with some kind of solution or what? "/

[WendyRustrian]

saline solution

[TheChotster]

So if you let it sit for 6 hours then you use it and you want to put it back in the case, do you remove the solution you used last time? and put in new solution? or what?

[ImTheAsianChick13]

Yes, that goes to EVERY time you

take it out and wear it, and you need to

change your solution each time.

[princessblack100]

@TheChotster yeah you have to use new solution unless you wanna infect your eyes

[smdante]

According to CIBA's website- You should discard the Clear Care lens case after using each bottle of Clear Care. Each bottle you buy comes with a case included, so just use the new one each time you buy a new bottle.

[TheChotster]

So you can still use it right? Or yeah you cant still use it until you run out of the solution right?

[shiroidiamante]

Is the vial case only good for one use? Or can you clean it with boiling water? Or is it best to just throw it out after that one use?

[scienceinproducts]

@shiroidiamante

Yeah don't boil it. You can use it up to a "hundred times" according to the package instructions. You throw it away once you get a new package of the hydrogen peroxide solution.

[xarlene11]

this solution is wastefull u put alot of liquid and u cant even use it as cleansing

[outjewed]

@xarlene11 uh because it won't be effective once the fizzing and 6 hours is over with. the hydrogen peroxide won't be effective if it's dirty with your previous contacts and it won't cause a chain reaction in the catalyst (the container) and no fizzing. So why would you reuse dirty solution and stick it back in your eye? That's like sterilizing a baby toy then dumping it in mud. it's a lot of liquid, but it's a lot better than using multi-purpose solution which doesn't clean it AT ALL btw.

[Towlieee]

@xarlene11 but it works awesome

I use it every 2-3 days on my contacts, and it makes them feel sooo much better then any solution I've used in years

[Glennieboytje]

guys few questions:

Is everything included in a package (2 of those tube cleaners, liquid etc).

And you have to use new liquid everyday or you can keep the same a few days?

[Cindeekisses]

The container is disposable, so how long can I keep using it before I should throw it away or until the platinum disk isn't effective anymore?

[Kronikwookie]

what do you do to the case after the contacts are inserted into the eyes? i used to wash them off with water and let them air dry on some tissue. but, my dad said they can get bacteria on them so i now leave the solution in the case and close it up until i need to use it again.

[aeropostale]

do we have to rinse it with anything else after those 6 hours?

[jackjr1]

no, the solution in the case is diluted after 6 hours and is safe to use on your eye.

[mikaila31]

Nope. But you can if you want too. I normally just use the neutralized solution when putting the contacts in. Make sure its sat for 6 hours min, If not it hurts like a #$!@& when you get it in your eye. It is good to have something like Renu on hand incase you need to use the contacts before the solutiion has nutralized.

[corbyz]

"turns the dirty solution into clean sterile saline solution"? I guess half of that was right. The ridged disk is platinum coated which reacts with the hydrogen peroxide to make water and oxygen. The box also says (as do most bottles of hydrogen peroxide) not to shake it. That basically agitates the solution and turns it into plain old water even faster and then your lens won't be disinfected. I do wonder what the chemical differences are between AO Sept and Clear Care though.

[randomnesswaffles]

Can it be there for more than six hours?

[MattJones1418]

Yes. They recommend up to a week and then to clean them again.

[reebabareeba]

You can store them for up to 7 days UNOPENED. However, and this is very important if you plan to wear them after 24 hours of soaking you will need another soak (6 hours again) as the neutralized solution can attract bugs/parasites again.

If you want the ultimate in eye health go with daily-disposable silicon-hydrogels - no cleaning required!

[randomnesswaffles]

Thank you!

I'll keep that in mind! =)

[billobong120]

does it HAVE to be 6 hours? Can't it be more?

[ChiBio6]

of course it can be more,

its 6 hours or overnight

[578maria]

omg i put that directly in my eye without leting it soap it hurt so bad so don't do it

[CallmeSanti]

how much is that little thingy hes using in the video. sorry but i forgot the name of it lol

[xxKawaiiWafflexx]

i was wondering can u rinse the contact lenses before putting it in? and what if we forgot to take it out after 6 hours would it affect the contact?

[AARaholic202]

wen you first get it they say to only wear it for six hours and the next day add an hour and the day after that another hour, etc. Leaving it in doesnt damage the contact in any way.The six hour thing is more for your comfort and to prevent any strain on your behalf.

[xxKawaiiWafflexx]

oh ok thanks u ^^

[sanjose21ca]

your information is incorrect. the 6 hr window is the time frame the company specifies the user to leave the dirty contacts in the soution in-order to turn the hydrogen peroxide soution H202 into h20 water. the hydrogen peroxide reacts with the special disk turning into h20 after 6 hours. prolly happens faster though. then after 6 hrs, your contacts could be stored forever in the h20, but eventually the h20 would get bacteria and mold and other stuff in it, since there is a vent hole on top

[wittyworldlee]

dunno if it will damage the lens but it will definitely hurt ure eye

[xxKawaiiWafflexx]

really?

[nackforsweets]

likely, yeah cos the lens will go dry and stick to ure eye and it stings a bit. but its diff for everyone

[x3faded]

Can I rinse it with solo care aqua solutions before I wear it?

[randall4121977]

does anyone know if this is for all types

of contacts or just certain types?

[laferilafere]

the package says it can be every lens, even colored lenses, hard and soft.

[Poptart2014]

do you have to rinse it w/ water aftr the 6 hrs?or do you just put them on after the hours???

[groverdoc1]

Never rinse your soft contact lenses with tap water... unless you want parasites growing on your eyes.

[disney1nickjluvr45]

haha i'll pass on the parasites

[Mixxez99]

@groverdoc1 what do you mean parasites

[gooooblaster1800]

@groverdoc1 How can i know if there are parasties in my eye? I used solution as water once and it bothered my eye but now it doesnt bother but i just want to make sure i dont have any

[nuisanceem0ti0ns]

@groverdoc1 umm..' what are the signs 0f having parasites in y0ur eye?..' and what medicine c0uld i apply in my eye if i already see the signs?..' and lastly,what will i d0 t0 my c0ntact lens if i already rinse it with tap water?..' :)) please answer..'

[MileyCyris]

it's really good. now i have no problems with my contact lenses. before, when i used a solution, 2-3 months afterward, it started to get really uncomfortable .. now, i use clear care for over half and year and it's perfect (:

[meahcarnation]

me being stupid i cleaned the contact with it and then put it my eye- OW! it hurt soooo bad. i couldnt open my eye for 10 minutes, then it was watering like mad, THEN my eye was bloodshot red. :l

[laferilafere]

that must been bad. why did it happen? didn't you read the instructions? :-)

[meahcarnation]

i did, but i was in such a rush when i put them in that morning i didn't even recall it. but i've learned from the pain.

[xPockyhearts]

I just bought this today and it started fizzing.. scared me to death.

They should have a warning to put it in the sink or something because it'll fizz =.=.

Thanks for uploading this :)

[Dewsky1212]

clear care sucks

[RapapaM3]

Thanks!!!

[shannonjayy]

yeah. i use this and its good, but the first time i didnt read the bottle and put it in my flat case. and when i put my right lense in it was the most excruciating pain ive ever been in, ugh and i felt like an idiot cause after i saw all the warnings on the bottle.

[LIP3XGunner]

I'm a mutant then ...

[LIP3XGunner]

it won't...

[43Julie]

Thanks!

[jcws649]

I don't think this is the best case, what if one of your contacts is infected, then both contacts will get infected and both of your eyes will get the infection. There are no proof that the cleaning solutions are 100% safe. It is better to have the contacts each in their separate spot. Just my opinion, I might be wrong.

[DarwinwasWrong]

That solution he is using (Clear Care) is a total disinfectant. If you were to put those drops in your eyes you would be in the most excrutiating pain. That solution is one of the best on the market (in my opinion) for completely cleaning your lenses.

[Ardefoc]

No no no no no, That solution contains acid, the acid burns ABSOLUTLY EVERYTHING KNOWN that can get on the contact, thats why you have to leave them in there for 6 hours, so the disk dilutes the acid into this salty water mixture(I accidently gotten it in my mouth once)

[groverdoc1]

It's a peroxide solution, not an acid.

[branw11223]

is clear care the best solution? and is it okay to use with freshlook colored contacts ??

[Ardefoc]

yes, it is the best on the market and its fine with all contacts

[gbmack2000]

Clear Care is better than multi-purpose solutions like Aquify. I am allergic to multi-purpose solutions... they are also confusing to use, and they don't disinfect lenses as well as clear care.. trust me...

when i used a multi-purpose solution, my contact lenses seemed kinda "unclean" and less comfortable. using Clear Care makes my contacts much more comfortable, and it's better for your eye health because it cleans it better.

[rawr1111111]

i just dropped my contacts and they were pretty dirty, so i went to the sink and sort of washed it off with the liquid my optometrist gave me, and i put my contact lenses in a little cup with the liquid in it to stay for a couple of hours.. is it safe to wear again?

[Button36]

I'm an optometrist. This video is excellent! Clear Care is a great solution. I prefer Optifree Replenish though, only because patients sometimes FORGET to neutralize the solution (the effervescent bubbling neutralizes the pH of the peroxide). Wrong pH = pain. This solution is good for people who have allergies or who tend to build up lots of deposits on their lenses. I recommend Clear Care or any other peroxide system. Kills bugs good! Great video!!!

-- Mary Ann Button, O.D.

[MattJones1418]

ummm... u don't need to add anything to clear care... it has a neutralizer built in. and it is much better than those multi purpose solutions and keeps the contacts and eyes much more healthy

[xxmamiichulaxx]

can 13 yr olds use contacts? =]

[wareye12]

i have seen 10 year old boys using it, so i think so

[Button36]

My criterion for fitting children with contacts is a 'yes' response to the following question(s): 'Do you wash and dry your own laundry, fold your own clothes and then put them away?' If yes, a child is responsible enough to take care of contacts. - Mary Ann Button, O.D.

[happypuppy638]

does the basket hold the both the left and the right contact lens?

[happypuppy638]

so after it is in for 6 hrs, you can take it out of the basket and put in directly out out your eye?

[Button36]

Yes. It's a good idea to have a bottle of saline around (like B&L Sensitive Eyes) just in case you get a piece of lint on the lens and need to rinse it. You can't rinse with unneutralized Clear Care because it will HURT! - Mary Ann Button, O.D. (Oh, if any one needs validation of my credentials, I practice in Oregon and my licence number is 2599ATI. Check with the Oregon Board of Optometry).

[groverdoc1]

Sensitive Eyes sucks. Use Unisol instead.

[speedlunatikz]

this is very great.. my doctor recommended it to me and its vert amazing the way it cleans!

[supasaiyon1]

yes u clean it everyday it does come with basket and u can use the bottle for like 2 months

[RubyRed999]

yay i have clear care!

:]

you should clean your contacts before going to sleep.

i learned the hard way, and put my contacts on after 2 hours of being in the solution.

i was cryinggg.

but yea, its really great and the basket comes with it. and the bottle 4 fl oz. :]

[happypuppy638]

do you have to clean it every day?

[happypuppy638]

does the basket come with it?

[ch33sehead]

How many uses does the bottle get? It looks like you have to use a lot of solution to fill up that container each time.

[halliezmandy]

wow
