Purilens Plus Preservative-Free Saline is for rinsing soft (hydrophilic), rigid gas permeable and hard contact lenses prior to lens insertion. This solution may also be used as an insertion solution for large diameter (scleral) contact lenses, as a rinse for contact lens cases, and may be used as needed throughout the day to rinse contact lenses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDirections\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee Instructions for Use for important safety information. Inside the bottle cap is a molded insert that will pierce the container. To open the bottle, first remove the cap and discard the white plastic restraining ring. Avoid touching the tip of the bottle. Replace the cap then press down and turn the cap clockwise to pierce the container. Re-close the bottle after use. Always wash and rinse your hands before you handle your lenses. Rinse and clean your contact lenses each time you remove them. Rinse your lens thoroughly with Purilens Plus Preservative-Free Saline by holding the lens between the forefinger and thumb of one hand and directing a steady stream of the saline onto the lens for ten (10) seconds. Always rinse the same lens first, right or left, to avoid mix-ups, and put that lens into the correct chamber of a storage case. Repeat the procedure for the second lens. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrecautions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways thoroughly wash hands when handling contact lenses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever re-use solution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use if unused, unpierced bottle is damaged and leaking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFresh solution must be used daily.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter breaking the original seal, keep container tightly closed when not in use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord date opened in the space provided on bottle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);\"\u003eDiscard bottle and contents 14 days after opening. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNOT to be used as an eyedrop or to disinfect contact lenses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not change your contact lens care system without consulting your eyecare professional.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee Instructions for Use for important safety information.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","published_at":"2025-04-08T15:01:18-07:00","created_at":"2025-04-08T14:40:27-07:00","vendor":"Purilens -

Purilens Plus Preservative-Free Saline is for rinsing soft (hydrophilic), rigid gas permeable and hard contact lenses prior to lens insertion. This solution may also be used as an insertion solution for large diameter (scleral) contact lenses, as a rinse for contact lens cases, and may be used as needed throughout the day to rinse contact lenses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDirections\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee Instructions for Use for important safety information. Inside the bottle cap is a molded insert that will pierce the container. To open the bottle, first remove the cap and discard the white plastic restraining ring. Avoid touching the tip of the bottle. Replace the cap then press down and turn the cap clockwise to pierce the container. Re-close the bottle after use. Always wash and rinse your hands before you handle your lenses. Rinse and clean your contact lenses each time you remove them. Rinse your lens thoroughly with Purilens Plus Preservative-Free Saline by holding the lens between the forefinger and thumb of one hand and directing a steady stream of the saline onto the lens for ten (10) seconds. Always rinse the same lens first, right or left, to avoid mix-ups, and put that lens into the correct chamber of a storage case. Repeat the procedure for the second lens. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrecautions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways thoroughly wash hands when handling contact lenses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever re-use solution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use if unused, unpierced bottle is damaged and leaking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFresh solution must be used daily.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter breaking the original seal, keep container tightly closed when not in use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord date opened in the space provided on bottle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);\"\u003eDiscard bottle and contents 14 days after opening. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNOT to be used as an eyedrop or to disinfect contact lenses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not change your contact lens care system without consulting your eyecare professional.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee Instructions for Use for important safety information.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e"}
