There is a certain lens called Proclear that has a tendency to rip under certain people’s contact lens handling habits.
So why would we keep using it? Because it provides excellent comfort, particularly for those who get dryness while wearing contact lenses. The material is also used in a variety of modalities like 2-week replacement (Biomedics XC), and one month sphere, toric, toric extended range, and multi-focal. It is an indispensable lens, and most people handle it just fine; however, I’d like to give some handling tips that I’ve learned from a Coopervision representative:

- Do make sure lens cases are full so lens does not adhere to the case.
- Do be careful with fingernails to avoid nicks and tears.

AMO’s Complete MoisturePlus (no rub) soft contact lens multipurpose solution (MPS) was taken off the market a few months back because it wasn’t killing the Acanthamoeba germ, at least not while using the no-rub technique.
Now they have a new product:
Here’s a discription of the product that I got in an e-mail sent by AMO to eye doctors: Continue Reading »
