Clear Care Works!, November 5, 2005
This review is from: Clear Care Cleaning and Disinfecting Solution (12 fl. oz. 360ml) (Health and Beauty)
When buying contact lens solution there are many brands and types to choose from. It is really up to the person who is going to use the solution. Their decision could be based on comfort, how long the product lasts, and sometimes on price. Because my mother works for an optometrist's office, I have been able to try many contact solutions and after five years of wearing contact lenses, I have found the perfect solution: Clear Care.
On a normal basis, I put in my contact lenses in the morning, before school, and wear them until late into the night. In the past my eyes would burn and turn red by the time school ended. It was not until I started using Clear Care that I was able to extend the amount of time I wore my contact lenses.
Using Clear Care is a little different than using a typical solution like Renu. Renu can be used directly on contact lenses, whereas, Clear Care cannot. Clear Care requires the user to wait at least six hours before wearing contact lenses because it is a hydrogen peroxide based solution that needs to be neutralized before use in eyes. Clear Care does not contain the harsh chemicals and added preservatives found in multi-purpose solutions such as Renu. These preservatives are what cause eyes to turn red. When using Clear Care the user must place their contacts in a case with a neutralizing disk. After six hours in the case, the solution is neutralized and turned into basic saline solution. Then the user can use the neutralized solution to rinse off lenses. A person cannot use Clear Care to rinse off their contacts until after the solution is neutralized; otherwise a burning sensation will occur in the users eyes.
Although it may seem that Clear Care takes more time and effort than Renu, it really does not. It takes the same amount of time to place contact lenses into a container and fill the container with a solution. Most people who wear contact lenses leave their lenses in a container over night anyway. The only real difference is that the user must wait at least six hours before being able to put in their contacts. Also, the user may have to purchase a simple bottle of saline solution to have on hand for additional rinsing and storing if they don't have time to wait the six hours.
Clear Care has enabled many users, including myself, to wear contact lenses from morning to night. I no longer experience redness, dryness, or irritation from contact lenses. Clear Care, Renu, and most other name brand contact solutions can be purchased within a few dollars of each other. The running cost is around nine dollars. If a person were having a problem wearing their contacts for long periods of time, then this would be the product to purchase.

The Mysterious Disapperance of Clear Care, March 18, 2006
This review is from: Clear Care Cleaning and Disinfecting Solution (12 fl. oz. 360ml) (Health and Beauty)
This is the best contact solution I've used as well. Other solutions like Renu turned my eyes blood red because of the preservatives in them. I haven't been able to find it in about 2 months in the Austin, TX area so I called Ciba Vision's customer service dept. I found out that Clear Care is going through a "manufacturing upgrade" and should be available again in early April 2006. I've found that AOsept Disinfecting Solution works almost as well or go to your eye doctor and they can give you a small bottle of Clear Care. That's what I did.
