Product Information

Delays also often occur at Easter because the depots are shut on Easter Monday & Good Friday and hence post builds up. It's essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions while using any protein remover solution. Some protein removers need to be used daily, while others can be used once a week. Additionally, it's essential to rinse the lenses thoroughly with the solution to avoid any irritation or infection. Daily protein remover also removes protein from your lenses, but it's in liquid form and you use it daily. You use it during disinfection with multipurpose solution. Additionally, consider using daily disposable lenses or lenses with built-in protein resistance to further reduce protein buildup. Increased Risk of Infection: The accumulated proteins can serve as a breeding ground for bacteria, increasing the risk of eye infections.

Multi-purpose solution may contain preservatives, which is sometimes not very friendly to some patients. They are advised to use hydrogen peroxide solution as it is preservative-free.

A preservative called thimerosal was found to cause problems in about 10 percent of patients, so most brands do not use it nowadays. Thimerosal-free saline is usually marked "for sensitive eyes."

While cleaning them does remove some protein, it can still build up on your lenses and make them uncomfortable. That's why the longer you wear lenses before replacing them, the more likely you are to need a protein remover. These products are safe and FDA-approved, or they couldn't be sold. But there are potential problems. Sometimes private label products are made from older formulations, which don't offer the same advantages as newer products. Recent studies suggest that wiping your case with a clean tissue and/or placing it upside-down on another clean tissue may be additional good steps in keeping bacteria biofilms off the case. Ask your eye doctor what he or she thinks.Practitioners and patients alike misinterpret the "no separate enzyme required" phrase many multi-purpose solutions include in their labeling as meaning "enzyme included." These products do not include an enzyme. Rather, they are formulated to include other elements that help to remove protein and prevent it from binding to lens surfaces. Store your lenses in a clean case with fresh disinfecting solution, and replace the case every three months. The instructions for the devices are all a little different. In general, you first rinse the lenses, using either saline or multipurpose solution as directed. One brand requires rubbing with the saline, but most are no-rub. Never touch solution bottle tips to any surface, including your body: this can cause contamination of the solution. An electrolysis device features a lens case-like container with two chambers. Fill both chambers with disinfectant solution and immerse the lenses for thorough cleaning.

These denatured protein deposits are essentially dead. They lose all of their beneficial, eye-protecting qualities. In fact, denatured proteins trigger an inflammatory immune response similar to when your body tries to fight off foreign invaders. C ontact lenses become coated with a protein-rich film soon after being placed on the eye. In the short term, this improves wettability and reduces friction, making lenses more comfortable. Over time, the protein (mostly lysozyme) can denature and firmly adhere to the lens surface. Bound protein can decrease comfort and vision, and in some cases precipitate a giant papillary conjunctivitis.Remove one lens and clean it with the recommended solution. Cleaning removes eye-produced buildup, cosmetics and other debris that impairs lens comfort. The FDA recommends that you rub the lens in the palm of your hand with a few drops of solution, even if you are using a "no-rub" product. For example, if you wear disposables, you probably won't need one; but if you wear the kind of lenses that are replaced only once or twice a year, you definitely will. Products for removing protein include enzymatic cleaner and daily protein removal liquids.
