LacriPure, box of 98 5mL preservative-free vials
Backorder
Lacripure is backordered at the manufacturer. It is expected to be available again in early to mid August. Very sorry for the inconvenience! We have several other preservative free salines available. Modudose (similar to Addipak) has the same ingredients, but, as with Addipak, using it with scleral lenses is off-label, so clear it with your doctor. Purilens is generally considered the most cost-effective PF saline.
About LacriPure
- 5mL / 0.71oz single use vials
- Preservative free 0.9% sodium chloride solution (saline)
- See also our Preservative Free Saline Guide
- Box of 98
~Shipping tip!~
To save on shipping, please try to avoid ordering just one box. The difference is huge! You may be paying $10 or more to ship one box (depending where it's going), but only $1 or so more per additional box after that. Use the shipping calculator in the cart to see for yourself.
Description (by Rebecca)
Menicon is the first company to go out and get a unit dose preservative free saline (albeit unbuffered) labeled for ocular use, and moreover, specifically for use filling scleral lenses (among other things). We applaud this step - it's about time someone recognized scleral lens users as a market in their own right - and encourage you to give them your business. For doctors and patients, it's definitely a more user-friendly approach than finding saline sold for nebulizers!
Ingredients: Purified water and sodium chloride.
Limitations
- Not large enough for those who use a lot in lens rinsing/filling
- Unbuffered saline, not tolerated equally well by all users
- Expense
Alternatives to consider
- Modudose (larger 15mL / 0.51oz sizing, and stands up on its own)
- Purilens Plus Saline (buffered)

Description (from the manufacturer's literature)
LacriPure is a unit dose non-preserved, 0.9% NaCl (normal saline) solution indicated for rinsing soft lens (hydrophilic), rigid gas permeable, hybrid and hard contact lens prior to insertion. The rinsing removes debris and bacteria following proper lens disinfection. This sterile, normal saline solution can be used to fill the concave posterior surface of large diameter (scleral) lenses prior to insertion to provide a more natural environment than currently approved multipurpose solutions which contain preservatives and osmolarity agents that are not designed to be held against the cornea for extended periods of time.
