Leader Optical Soap is the only brand of contact lens friendly hand soap we have been able to procure consistently in the past year.
This is a super-popular soap for use with scleral lenses as it has no moisturizers. One of OCuSOFT's best products, in my opinion.
Why does the type of soap matter for scleral lens users? (Well, really, all contact lens users, but we scleral lens users are particularly susceptible to issues from soap residue on our lenses.) Because so many liquid hand soaps these days contain moisturizers, and any oils on your hands when you're handling your lenses will inevitably get onto the lenses, attracting debris and interfering with good vision.
OCUSOFT HAND SOAP is designed specifically for contact lens wearers to throughly cleanse hands prior to lens handling or insertion. Reduces potential for contamination to lenses and eyes.
Chloroxylenol is the antimicrobial agent in OCuSOFT Hand Soap which is responsible for killing germs. OCuSOFT Hand Soap does not contain oils or other lubricants which may leave a film on the hands and be transferred to the contact lens. Reduces potential for clouded lenses.
