Multi-purpose solutions are designed to clean, disinfect and care for monthly or weekly soft contact lenses. Soft lenses are the most common type out there and include those made from hydrogel and silicone hydrogel materials. These lenses are easy to maintain; all you need to do is clean and rinse them in solution when you take them out at night and then store them in a contact lens case filled with more until the next day.

Over the course of a day, it's only natural that your lenses will pick up dirt and debris that can interfere with your comfort as well as clarity of vision. The best way to avoid this is regular cleaning and multi-purpose solution is perfect for sterilising your lenses, removing any build-ups from the surface.

As an all-in-one package, multi-purpose solutions are suitable for all aspects of contact lens care whether it's cleaning, re-wetting, or storing them overnight.

While cleaning your lenses at the end of each day is often enough, if you suffer from dry eyes you may find your contact lenses can be slightly irritating during the day. At this point, you can take your lenses out, clean and re-wet them using multi-purpose solution and pop them back in for a more comfortable feeling for the rest of the day. This works just as well for daily lenses, so a bottle of multi-purpose solution comes in handy even if you're not a monthly or weekly wearer.

Once you've cleaned your lenses it's important not to undo all your good work and to make sure you store your lenses correctly. You can use multi-purpose solution to fill up your contact lens case and keep your lenses in it overnight so that they stay in the right shape and are comfortable to apply the next day.
