Purilens Plus Saline, while it's been on the market for ~15 years, was not well known until a few years ago when Unisol 4 and Simply Saline (the only equivalents) were both discontinued. It is
We never actually sold Unisol 4 here at the DryEyeShop, but when

Depending what you are using it for, you may not use up the entire bottle within the 15 days recommended by the manufacturer.
This 2-oz MINI size is expensive for daily use. If you can get it on a discount, it works out fine. Otherwise, the 4oz bottle are a better deal (unless you just can't use them within two weeks).
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.

Keeps the lens wet (hydrated) during PuriLens System cleaning and disinfection.
PuriLens solution is indicated for use in rinsing, PuriLens system cleaning and disinfection, and storage of SOFT (hydrophilic) contact lenses.
None known.
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.
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.
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, 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.

This smaller size is great for travel and I also have given it to friends to try. It’s more expensive but worth when traveling.

Finally found travel size saline for us frequent flying scleral wearers. Plus it’s preservative free. Almost all saline is in larger bottles. This is exactly what I was looking for.

I love the smaller bottles, but this product is crazy expensive. I’ve never had trouble with the 4oz bottles going through airport security, but the 2oz size is GREAT for traveling and for smaller purses when I go out. I still use the 4oz for everyday, but switch to the 2oz when traveling or going out. It freaks me out a little that the bottle isn’t full, but the explanation for that makes sense. All in all, I like the smaller bottles. I just wish they weren’t so expensive.
