Another preservative-free saline for sclerals! There are now FIVE scleral rinsing/filling solutions on the market, up from just one in 2016. I love that we have more choices. It's also good insurance against the inevitable shortages that this sector has experienced over the years (even before Covid and global supply chain issues).
VibrantVue is an unbuffered saline in the familiar long skinny vials, only they are clear rather than pink. As with all scleral filling solutions, consult your lens provider for their recommended solution(s).
One thing I like about VibrantVue is their excellent handling and care insert. A common complaint in the scleral lens patient world is not receiving complete written instructions from one's lens provider. VibrantVue's insert covers lots of helpful tips about lens handling and care, insertion and removal techniques, general eye care tips, Hydra-PEG lens care information, and even the names of alternative scleral filling solutions (which provides excellent context for new users).
Sterile, preservative-free unbuffered 0.9% saline solution.
Use to rinse your scleral contact lenses prior to insertion and as an insertion fill solution for large diameter (scleral) rigid gas permeable lenses.
Twist off the plastic cap to open VibrantVue Scleral Saline. Discard the cap and follow these directions:
