Launched January 2020. Another preservative free saline on the market, labeled for use with scleral lenses. This is such a good trend!
For many people, pH balanced borate buffered salines (i.e. Scleralfil & Purilens) seem to work quite well. Others seem to tolerate even the much more acidic sodium chloride solutions. Still others mix up cocktails in the bowl of their lens, such as using preservative free artificial tears mixed with saline or on their own. It is frustrating to me that scientifically, we do not know what all these things are doing to our corneas - beyond keeping them wet and assisting our vision. We need the scientific community to do a better job of studying what the effect is of various types of preservative free salines held against our corneas all day long!
Meantime, if you're trying to hedge your bets or, let's be honest, try something new out of curiosity, it's hard to go wrong. That might sound like lukewarm praise for a new product. I actually really do ilke the concept of this one. I'm just kind of choking on the price. (See more on this below.)
Anyway, the distinguishing features of this particular product are:
Bottom line, if you want to Try Something New, this is a good, albeit expensive, New Thing To Try. As with all others, no results guaranteed, and don't forget to ask or least tell your doctor what you're doing!
Size-wise, NutriFill is 10mL, which is the same size as ScleralFil. ScleralFil's vials are much more elegant, but they both work. Personally I don't like how soft and squishy the Nutrifill one is - I found it a little harder to get the twisty thing off. Not hard, just harder.
If you currently use Lacripure, Addipak or Modudose in 5mL vials, Nutrifill is TWICE as large as those. For some, that will be a good thing because you're tired of opening up a whole bunch of vials every day. For others, it may be too much. PLEASE DO NOT SUCCUMB to the temptation of stretching it out for more than one day. Preservative free solutions offer no protection against contamination. And many of the things people do to try to keep it clean actually have the reverse effect! You may feel wasteful, but, well, you only get one pair of eyes, so please be careful.

I am a graph recipient, and I need to use hard lenses due to the astigmatism. I tried scleral lenses and I have fantastic vision with them on, but I was going to give up using my lenses due to horrible swelling on the cornea With the graph. I tried all the salines, but they all caused the swelling after only 2 hours. As a last resort, I tried Nutrifill, and to my surprise I had minimal corneal swelling, and I am able to wear the lenses for 8 hours continually and comfortably. My vision stays clear and my eyes feel great with no pain when I remove them. I highly recommend this insertion saline!

I recently got my new scleral lenses with the new coating and these came with my lenses! I tried them and felt a huge difference the first day! My eyes feel incredible and they are not irritated when I remove my lenses for the day! Nutrifill feels very soothing and my eyes are clearer than they have ever been! Before my eyes were most often red-ish and sore when I removed my lenses. Now they feel wonderful and are not red at all! I recommend Nutrifill enthusiastically! I am a Kindergarten teacher and am busy all day and Nutrifill helps my eyes feel comfortable all day.
