Why your rigid lenses might feel uncomfortable (and the simple fix)

share article

Q: Wearing rigid lenses which are uncomfortable and blurry?

A: Try rewetting the lens with Ote Clean.

Science:

Our rigid contact lenses are made of a silicon material, which naturally repels water however we treat this issue with solutions prior to delivering the lenses to you.  

Over time however, the surface of our contact lenses can dehydrate and lose its ability to stay hydrated and thus its ability to stay wet. Using a daily cleaner, such as Ote Clean, to re-hydrate and re-wet these lenses allows for better vision and comfort in the contact lens.    

How to:

  1. Apply Ote Clean to the palm of hand
  1. Place hard lens concave side up (Bowl shape)  
  1. Rub lens till white residue begins to build up  
  1. Rinse lens with saline thoroughly

After.
