About Boston SIMPLUS Multi-Action Solution Care System

  • For rigid gas permeable lenses
  • Cleans, disinfects, conditions
  • Please check with your ECP about which cleaning solution is best suited for your lens type
  • Contains: 3.5 oz (104 mL) bottle of Boston Simplus; 5mL (0.2 oz) bottle Boston Rewetting Drops; lens case (flat screw-top type)

Description (by Rebecca)

This is a multi-purpose solution in the Bausch & Lomb "Boston" product line specifically for rigid gas permeable lenses. 

Simplus is a multi purpose solution. In the context of scleral lenses however, where disinfection is usually done with a hydrogen peroxide system rather than a multipurpose solution, Simplus is used by some as a rub cleaner as an alternative to Lobob ESC. I am not fond of it, and I know a lot of ECPs and manufacturers that aren't crazy about it either, but it's widely enough used that I needed to stock it here. 

Some notes for specific lens types - but please always remember to check with your ECP:

  • EyePrintPro with Hydra-PEG: Simplus is an acceptable cleaning solution for these, though Unique pH is the preferred solution. It's important to note that alcohol-containing cleaners e.g. Lobob ESC are not acceptable for use with lenses with Hydra-PEG coating.
  • PROSE: At least as of this writing (April 2017) Simplus is listed by BostonSight as an acceptable daily rub cleaner for PROSE. (Not to be confused with overnight disinfection!)

SAFETY NOTE: As with ALL multi-purpose solutions, DO NOT put this solution in the 'bowl' of your scleral lens. It is strictly for cleaning and disinfection, not filling.

Description (from the manufacturer's literature)

Boston SIMPLUS Multi-Action Solution is a one-bottle cleaning, disinfecting and conditioning product that has the added convenience of a built-in protein remover and an easy-to-use lens care regimen.

Label information

After soaking, remove lenses from lens case and rub both sides of the lenses carefully with four (4) drops of Boston SIMPLUS Multi-Action Solution in the palm of your hand for twenty (20) seconds. NO SEPARATE DAILY CLEANER IS REQUIRED.
  4. Rinse for approximately five (5) seconds with a steady stream of Boston SIMPLUS Multi-Action Solution to eliminate loosened surface deposits and insert lenses.

Boston Simplus Multi-Action Solution

I chose this product after finishing the bottle of Menicon Unique pH provided by my optometrist and before The Dry Eye Shop began stocking Unique pH.

Pros: viscous, convenient 3.5 oz. bottle, easy-to-open flip-top bottle cap which seems to close firmly

Cons: messy to use in the morning, dried solution around cap presents an unappealing sight, bottle does not meet TSA airline liquid travel size restriction

I am a new (April 2017) scleral lens user after 20 plus years of mostly RGP, then hybrid RGP contact lens use. I wear my lenses 14-16 hours per day, every day.

While Boston Simplus is a fine product I prefer not to use it due to its requirement to clean the lenses AFTER soaking overnight (or at least four hours) in the solution. This leads to a messy situation in the morning, as Boston Simplus is viscous (thick), you've got it in the palm of one hand to clean the lenses, and the fingers of the other hand have the solution on them from removing the lenses from the case and digitaly cleaning the lenses (using a finger to rub the lenses). Then you have to use the lens insertion tool (for sclereal lens users) AND handle the bottle of saline to rinse the lenses, all with Boston Simplus on your hands.

I have also found that following the Boston Simplus cleaning instructions is imperative - rub each lens for 20 seconds. Not doing so, at least with my scleral lenses, leads to uncomfortable lenses. NOTE FROM REBECCA: I just love detailed descriptions like this! So…
