• Note: Some solutions may have more than one
function, which will be indicated on the label.
Read the label on the solution bottle, and follow
instructions.
• Clean one lens first (always the same lens first
to avoid mix-ups), rinse the lens thoroughly
as directed by your eye care practitioner to
remove the cleaning solution, mucus, and film
from the lens surface, and put that lens into
the correct chamber of the lens storage case.
Then repeat the procedure for the second lens.
• After cleaning, disinfect lenses using the sys-
tem recommended by the manufacturer
and/or the eye care practitioner. Follow the
instructions provided in the disinfecting solu-
tion packaging.
• To store lenses, disinfect and leave them in the
closed/unopened case until ready to wear. If
lenses are not to be used immediately follow-
ing disinfection, the patient should be
instructed to consult the package insert or the
eye care practitioner for information on storage
of lenses.
• After removing the lenses from the lens case,
empty and rinse the lens storage case with
solutions as recommended by the lens case
manufacturer or the eye care practitioner; then
allow the lens case to air dry. When the case
is used again, refill it with storage solution.

cating/rewetting solution which can be used
to wet (lubricate) lenses while they are being
worn to make them more comfortable.
• Eye care practitioners may recommend a
weekly enzymatic cleaner which can be used to
effectively remove protein deposits from
Boston EQUALENS II Contact Lenses.

heat (thermally) disinfected.
LENS CASE CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Contact lens cases can be a source of bacterial
growth. Lens cases should be emptied, cleaned,
rinsed with solutions recommended by the lens
case manufacturer or the eye care practitioner,
and allowed to air dry. Lens cases should be
replaced at regular intervals as recommended
by the lens case manufacturer or the eye care
practitioner.
CARE FOR A STICKING (NONMOVING) LENS
If the lens sticks (stops moving/cannot be
removed), the patient should be instructed to apply
one to three drops of a recommended lubricating
or rewetting solution directly to the eye and wait
until the lens begins to move freely on the eye
before removing it. If nonmovement of the lens
continues after 5 minutes, the patient should
immediately consult the eye care practitioner.
EMERGENCIES
The patient should be informed that if chemicals
of any kind (household products, gardening solu-
tions, laboratory chemicals, etc.) are splashed into
the eyes, the patient should: FLUSH EYES IMMEDI-
ATELY WITH TAP WATER, THEN REMOVE LENSES
PROMPTLY, IF POSSIBLE, AND IMMEDIATELY CONTACT
THE EYE CARE PRACTITIONER OR VISIT A HOSPITAL
EMERGENCY ROOM WITHOUT DELAY.
