Ciba Vision Clear Care Contact Solution Reviews

In 2006, I was addicted to Renu Multipurpose and it was the only product I would buy for my contact lens care. Then in February 2006 I heard there was a recall and this product had been linked to eye diseases that were making people blind! I had heard that certain bottles were still safe, but I wasn't willing to risk it. My next try was Complete. That worked out great for about a year. Then earlier in 2007 there were news stories out that Complete was being recalled! Once again, certain types were safe but I couldn't risk it. I'm not willing to risk my sight.

When I found Clear Careon the shelf...

Clear Care was recommended to me by my eye care professional after I had an allergic reaction to Renu contact solution.  After using Renu for years, I developed a reaction (turning my eyes red and bloodshot) to it.  Then I learned that they can slightly change the formula without informing consumers.  My eye doctor told me to use Clear Care and what a difference it makes!  Since it changes into pure saline, there is nothing left to irritate my eyes!  I have worn contact lenses for 15 years and this is the best cleaning solution I have ever used.  It is more expensive than other products,...

Ciba Vision Clear Care Lens Solution is number 1 in comfort and convenience, but the downsides are:

1) you have to change the solution everyday - not sure if there are others out there like me, but when I was using the multipurpose solution, I didn't change it everyday.

2) you have to put a lot of solution in the case every time you change it - almost wasteful.

3) you have to make sure you won't need the lens within 6 hours

4) you will need an eye drop (can't use your saline solution) for dry contacts as you won't saline or a multipurpose solution handy to drop in your eyes with clear care

Still, I...

I love this solution. I use to have problems with my contacts being really dry. When I would put them in in the mornings my eyes would get really red and I would have a hard time seeing. My doctor told me to change and I have never had that problem again. Do make sure that you never put your contacts in your eyes when they have been in the solution for less than 6 hours. It burns really bad and you can't wear them. I know from experience.
