If you are a regular
wearer of circle lenses/ contact lenses; you might have thought at least
once of using your regular multi-purpose disinfectant as the replacement of “re-wetting eye drops”. It may happen
sometimes when you have your container of disinfectant filled but regretfully
find your eye-drops bottle empty.
Though disinfectant should NEVER be directly squirted in
eyes; people do use them as rewetting drops by risking the health &
safety of their eyes. Actually multi-purpose circle lens/contact lens
solutions or disinfectants contain harmful ingredients that are meant to kill
germs only. The disinfectant also contains preservatives and strong chemicals
that may not be harsh on your contact lens but may induce swelling &
abrasions when poured directly into eyes.
There is an utmost need of understanding that contact lens
solution/cleaner/disinfectant or multi-purpose solutions and “Re-wetting eye
drops” are two different products and are used for two entirely different
reasons. Therefore; both of the products should never be confused because they
are not inter-changeable.
The main ingredients are
concerning to contact lens/circle lens solution is “soaking”, “disinfecting”,
“sterilizing” etc. On the other hand; “Re-wetting” or “Lubricating eye drops”
only help relaxing your eyes when they are exhausted by over-wearing of circle lenses/ contact
lenses. Lubricating drops also let eyes regain the moisturizer when your
eyes feel dry due to working in A/C environment or by working long on LCDs. Avoid
using over-the counter eye drops with circle lenses/contact lenses; because
using inexpensive cheap eye drops may result in concentrated build-up of
solution.
Eyes can tolerate only a small amount of disinfectant that
get into eyes during inserting circle
lenses/contact lenses. According to NBC News, “Misuse
of clear contact lens solution is associated with eye burn”. Always; read
the “Cautions/Warnings” printed on the label of any kind of solutions that come
to use with circle lenses/ contact lenses to prevent your eyes from subjected
damage!
