5 things to consider before choosing contact lens solutions

If you’re a contact lens wearer, then you know how important it is to use the right contact lens solution. With so many options out there, choosing the right one can be confusing. To help you make the right choice, we’ve compiled a list of things to consider before choosing contact lens solutions.

1. Your contact lens type

When choosing a contact lens solution, it’s important to consider the type of contact lenses you wear. Soft contact lenses require a different type of solution than rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses. You should also consider if your lenses are disposable or designed for extended wear.

2. Your lifestyle

Your lifestyle can also impact the type of contact lens solution you need. For example, if you’re a frequent traveler or lead an active lifestyle, you may want a multipurpose solution that can clean, rinse, disinfect and store your lenses. Whereas, if you have sensitive eyes, a solution that’s free from preservatives may be a better option.

Dr. Dolan from 2020 Vision can guide you in choosing the best solution that fits your lifestyle and needs.

3. Your sensitive eyes

If you have sensitive eyes, you should look for a contact lens solution that’s free of harsh chemicals or preservatives. Some solutions can cause irritation or even allergic reactions. So, consult with Dr. Dolan from 2020 Vision on the best solution that won’t irritate your sensitive eyes.

4. Price and value for money

While cheap solutions may seem like a good option, they may not be of good quality or suitable for your needs. You should consider the value for money when choosing a solution. Some options may seem expensive, but they can save you money in the long run by keeping your lenses clean and in good condition, therefore prolonging their lifespan.

5. Availability

You should also consider the availability of a solution before choosing. If you’re traveling or live in a remote area, it may be challenging to find your preferred solution. So, you may want to choose a solution that’s widely available.

In conclusion, before choosing a contact lens solution, you should consider your lifestyle, sensitive eyes, contact lens type, price and value for money, and availability. Dr. Dolan at 2020 Vision can guide you in choosing the best solution that meets your needs.
