Product Review & Tutorial: Clear Care Contact Lens Solution (Contact Lenses Cleansing System)

So after first seeing this on Miss Jaclyn's blog (thanks Jackie for this!), I had to check this out for myself because I have Freshlook Colored Contacts that needed to be thoroughly cleaned. Despite the fact I rarely wear them because I hate dealing with dryness, re-wetting them, etc. I still like to keep them clean when I am not using them.

So I picked this up at Target after work last week, and before I begin with the tutorial and my review, let me briefly describe how it works. First of all it's NOT a solution you rinse your lenses with before you put your lenses in your eyes, doing this WILL CAUSE STINGING AND BURNING IN YOUR EYES! You also MUST use the lens case it come with ONLY, not the typical lens cases because the case itself is what really cleans and neutralizes the solution to thoroughly clean your lenses and making the solution itself be neutralized so that it's similar to your natural tears, thus preventing burning once it's done. The NEUTRALIZING DISC is what causing the chemical reaction with the solution to clean your lenses. It takes 6 HOURS for it to clean your lenses, after 6 hours you may placed them straight from the case into your eyes. If you plan to not wear them, they can be stored in the case as is for up to a week.

Price: $7-$9, available at most drugstores

PROS: Really does an awesome job at cleaning your lenses, also prevents dryness, no re-wetting needed, made my lenses very comfortable to wear. I like how there is no additional cleaning, you can take it out right from the case and wear them, and NO burning whatsoever! You can WATCH the cleaning magic happen! It works for any types of lenses as well.

CONS: Takes up to 6 hours for it to thoroughly clean your contacts, so if you need to wear them asap, plan accordingly! You cannot interrupt the process so it's important to allow yourself 6 hours before you wear them.

Overall: This is seriously a Godsend! It's pure genius and I am glad something like this exists. I am sure it will help many of you who wear contacts on a daily basis.





Here's how it works:




Place your lenses on the dome and close the basket, make sure it's right on the dome to avoid ripping or tearing your lenses.
