I really have a bone to pick with the industry about this, in fact, and if any doctors or patients of doctors who do a lot of research happen to read this, I hope they will take it to heart. Solutions are the make-it-or-break-it factors of scleral lenses, once we've learned insertion and removal. Solutions make all the difference in the world to successful scleral lens wear. We should have DATA to make decisions from. Would someone please figure out already which of these solutions is best, or if there is no best, surely there is a pattern to why it works better or some than others?

Note that neither regular CLEAR CARE nor the PLUS version is the same as 3% hydrogen peroxide (it contains a cleaning agent, among other things), so it will not do exactly the same job, and for this and the other reasons I've mentioned, you must clear it with your doctor before making this substitution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCleaning vs. Disinfection\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisinfecting your lenses is essential for all lens users.
