The Great Debate: Bubbles vs. Big Boys
There's a misconception floating around (pun intended) that the OG Boston Cleaner is a bit too harsh for scleral lenses. It's true, the original formula might be a little too abrasive for these delicate domes. But fear not, scleral warriors! Enter Boston Advanced Cleaner, the knight in shining armor (or should we say solution bottle) designed specifically for gas permeable lenses, which includes our beloved scleral buddies.
Here's the thing: Boston Advanced Cleaner is formulated to be gentle yet effective, creating a delightful lather to break down those pesky protein and lipid deposits. It's like a spa day for your scleral lenses, leaving them squeaky clean and ready to tackle the world (or at least get you through that next grocery store run).
But Wait, There's More!
Just because Boston Advanced Cleaner is a good option, doesn't mean it's the only option. Here are some additional tips for keeping your scleral lenses sparkling:
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.
- Rinse, Rinse, Rinse: After you've given your lenses a good scrub with Boston Advanced Cleaner, be sure to rinse them thoroughly with a preservative-free saline solution. You wouldn't want any leftover cleaning solution hitching a ride on your eyeball, would you?
- Don't Forget the Conditioning: Boston Advanced Conditioning Solution is your scleral lenses' best friend after a long day. It helps keep them hydrated and comfortable, kind of like giving them a post-workout cool down.
- Be a Cleanliness Champion: Wash your hands thoroughly before handling your lenses, and make sure your lens case is clean and replaced regularly. You wouldn't want your scleral lenses to become a breeding ground for unwanted guests (ew).
