    Description (by Rebecca)

    Updated December 2024

    Purilens Plus Saline has been on the market in 4oz bottles for more than 20 years. It became the go-to "buffered" preservative-free saline after Alcon discontinued Unisol 4 in 2015, and in fact, it was the only solution of its type on the US market until Bausch & Lomb introduced Scleralfil in 2017. (A few years later, Contamac introduced Nutrifill, another type of buffered saline, which is a particular favorite.)

    Purilens remains a popular product for many scleral lens users because it is the most cost-effective buffered preservative-free saline. For those who have frequent rinsing needs, it's particularly helpful. 

    Alternatives?

    • ScleralFil, a borate-buffered saline which is sold in 10mL single-use vials (box of 30), is the only exact equivalent on the market at present.
    • Nutrifill is a highly rated phosphate-buffered saline with electrolytes.
    • Unbuffered salines such as LacriPure, VibrantVue and the off-label nebulizer salines such as Addipak and Modudose, are options for many users. 


    Description (from the manufacturer's literature)

    Purilens Plus saline solution is preservative-free, pH-balanced, sterile, aqueous isotonic solution of sodium chloride, buffered with boric acid and sodium borate. Does not contain chlorhexidine, thimerosal, or other mercury-containing compounds.

    • pH balanced to eye's natural tears for superior comfort
    • For dry and sensitive eyes
    • For all contact lens wearers
    • Maximizes contact lens comfort and clarity
    • For more information, see purilens.com

    Actions 

    Rinsing with PuriLens solution removes loosened debris from the lens surface prior to cleaning and disinfecting with the PuriLens system. 


    Keeps the lens wet (hydrated) during PuriLens System cleaning and disinfection. 

    Indications

    PuriLens solution is indicated for use in rinsing, PuriLens system cleaning and disinfection, and storage of SOFT (hydrophilic) contact lenses. 

    Contraindictions

    None known.

    Warnings

    PuriLens solution is sterile prior to opening. Because it contains no preservatives, it will not remain sterile indefinitely after opening and, therefore, should not be used as an eye drop. Do not touch the tip of the container to any surface since this may contaminate the solution. DO NOT USE IF SOLUTION IS CLOUDY OR DISCOLORED. 

    Precautions

    • Do not use if unused, unpierced bottle is damaged and leaking.
    • Never reuse solution
    • Do not transfer saline solution to another container
    • Fresh solution should be used for every cleaning/disinfection cycle
    • Do not store lenses in water, or in a non-sterile solution
    • Use before expiration date stamped on container
    • After breaking the original seal, keep container tightly closed when not in use
    • Discard bottle and contents 14 days after opening. Record dated opened in space provided on bottle label
    • Never touch the tip of container to any surface
    • Store solution at room temperature

    Adverse reactions

    • The following problems may occur
    • Eye stinging, burning, or itching (irritation)
    • Excessive watering (tearing) of the eyes
    • Unusual eye secretions
    • Redness of the eyes
    • Reduced sharpness of vision (visual acuity)
    • Blurred vision
    • Sensitivity to light (photophobia) 
    • Dry eyes

    If you notice any of the above problems, remove and examine your lenses. If the problem stops and the lenses appear to be undamaged, rinse your lenses using PuriLens solution, then clean and disinfect the lenses in your PuriLens unit and reinsert them. If the problem continues or a lens appears to be damaged, IMMEDIATELY remove your lenses and IMMEDIATELY consult your eye care practitioner. Do not reinsert a damaged lens. 


    If any of the above symptoms occur, a serious condition such as infection, corneal ulcer, neovascularization or iritis may be present. Seek immediate professional identification of the problem and treatment to avoid serious eye damage. 

    Directions for use

    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. 

    Rinse

    Rinse, clean, and disinfect your lenses each time you remove them. 


    Rinse your lens thoroughly with PuriLens solution by holding the lens between the forefinger and thumb of one hand and directing a steady stream of PuriLens solution onto the lens for ten (10) seconds. 


    Always rinse the same lens, right to left, first to avoid mix-ups and put that lens into the correct chamber of the lens storage case. 


    Repeat the procedure for the second lens.

    Have Used for Many Years

    This product is consistent and reliable. I use it to keep my eyes moist and cleaned out. I don't wear lenses anymore. I've never had problems with the saline and it works nicely for me. Finding non-preserved saline is difficult and my eyes are really sensitive to most chemicals, so the fact that you always have this is a relief.

    Purilens….my go to!

    I’ve been using PuriLens for several years to rinse and fill my scleral lens. With the crazy price increase of PuriLens on Amazon, I decided to try a different product. That product didn’t work for me. Was happy to find PuriLens in the Dry Eye Shop for a reasonable price. I quickly ordered it and signed up for automatic shipments.

    Purilens

    Handy for rinsing, so as not to use up saline I find superior for filling scleral lenses. It is less comfortable for me with long lens wear time than other solutions.
