When I was prescribed for conditioning solutions at the time I changed to scleric lenses, they were more or less the same as I had been using for my hard (GP) lenses. Within a month my lenses were fogging up and totally unusable. When I changed to ScleralFil with a different doctor in another state, (after having polished the lenses which, fortunately was possible) it is a different world! The new solution is magnificent! Almost 2 years without a single issue! And, so easy to use!

This simply warns new scleric lens users that if they are experiencing problems, it could well be the solutions they are using.

While the stuff certainly works with my scleral, I suspect it's going to take a longer trial period to determine conclusively whether it is an improvement over the non buffered products. I do prefer the flat bottom container, and the greater quantity in one container fits my usage pattern better.

I'm about 9 months into Scleral lenses and for the first few weeks I was using addi packs that my eye doctor gave me. I was adjusting to the lenses but something just wasn't right. My contact lens fitter off handedly mentioned Scleral fill. It was something I filled into the back of my mind. A few weeks later I stumbled upon this website and decided to buy one one of the trial packs of buffered solution. Then I waited like four weeks to use it. What a waste of time and added discomfort.

I've been using it full time now for about five months and my eyes just feel more refreshed at the end of the day. I don't feel the need to top off the solution very often and I am a heavy wearer of the lenses. Most days are 12 to 14 hours.

Every so often I add a little eye gel into the bowl but no I'm doing that way less with Scleral Fill.

Give it a shot over Addipacks and I think you will be happy.

I found that many of the clear tops on spray bottles for other personal care products in my home fit just perfectly over the ScleralFil bottle. Many of them fit snugly enough to stay on while in a pocket in my purse. I wear Synergeyes Duette lenses. I use Clear Care, which is a hydrogen peroxide disinfecting solution. For travel, I put the sprayer cap over the ScleralFil bottle and place it inside the Clear Care lense cup. The combination keeps it from getting squeezed in transport. My lenses are not as large as a Scleral lense but are much larger and stiffer than most contact lenses. The solution trapped under them is important. I find that addipak is ok for a day or two, but not nearly as comfortable as Purilens or ScleralFil. With the cap in place on the ScleralFil bottle, I feel that the ph stays closer to original, than it does left uncovered as there is less evaporation. Thank you for taking the time to explain what buffered solution could mean for me. I am so glad to have found a really really comfortable travel solution! Also an note for international travelers: London Heathrow airport is very restrictive on carry on items. I have traveled all over Europe and the US and been allowed to carry my Purilens bottles with me, but not London Heathrow. ScleralFil will not have that trouble. So happy about that! (Of course, you want to carefully and repeatedly clean the caps that you use for this.)

As a long time scleral lens wearer, I've pretty much tried every saline available. I had always assumed that saline is saline and all these products were pretty much the same. When ScleralFil came on the market, my eye doc recommended I give it a try. Although I didn't feel an immediate difference, over time my eyes have felt less irritated, dry and tired. Not sure why....is it because it's buffered? Although each vial has more solution than I need, I actually don't mind. I use it to throughly rinse my lenses before and after putting them in. Overall an excellent product. NOTE FROM REBECCA: So glad it has worked well for you! Buffering can make a huge difference. Everyone tends to vary in their tolerance for pH differences in salines. I know exactly what you mean about not feeling an immediate difference, too. Some people will notice differences immediately and even experience fogging with a saline that doesn't suit them. For me personally, I do fine for a few days on unbuffered, then over time my eyes gradually start feeling less and less comfortable.
