The difference between contact lens care solution and eye lotion

Some users who wear contact lenses often confuse contact lens care solution with eye lotion, and the following experts from Glasses Network will briefly introduce the difference between contact lens care solution and eye lotion, hoping that everyone can use it better. The contact lens care solution is used to soak the lenses to disinfect, sterilize and remove proteins. Eye lotion should only be used if you feel unwell while wearing contact lenses. Experts recommend that you do not rely too much on eye moisturizer when wearing contact lenses, it can only relieve eye fatigue but cannot replace the moisture in your own eyes, generally drop once or twice a day, it is recommended not to exceed five times a day, too much reliance on eye lotion will weaken the function of your own tear secretion. Ingredients of contact lens care solution: The composition of different contact lens care solutions will be slightly different, in terms of multi-functional care solutions, the ingredients mainly include: (1) Ingredients that can safely and effectively disinfect and clean contact lenses, and this ingredient can minimize the irritation to the eyes while disinfecting and cleaning contact lenses; (2) two humectants, their composition is similar to that of tears (this humectant is also used in products for the treatment of dry eye), which can form a moist protective film on the eyeball, improve the comfort of wearing contact lenses, and can maintain the lubrication between the eyeball and contact lenses for a long time; (3) 4 kinds of physiological electrolytic solutions and taurine make the contact lens care solution more compatible with the physiological environment of human tears, which can ensure the health and comfort of wearing contact lenses. Ingredients of eye lotion: First of all, eye lotion is not a medicine. In China, eye lotion is declared as a related product of medical devices with contact lens-related care products. It is a sterile, isotonic, buffering solution containing a special wetting component that is specifically designed to lubricate contact lens lenses and has a certain relieving effect on dry eyes caused by wearing contact lenses. On the other hand, contact lens care solution should not be used when wearing contact lenses, as the drug ingredients in it may precipitate on the lenses and change the properties of the lenses. Due to the different added ingredients in the eye lotion, some people may have allergies when using it, and if they have allergies, they should stop using the product immediately. Use the product for up to 30 days after opening. This product is only suitable for external use in the eyes and is not suitable for the storage of lenses. The above is the difference between eye lotion and contact lens care solution, but the experts of the glasses network remind everyone not to use it together when using it, or use eye lotion instead of contact lens care solution, or use contact lens care solution instead of eye lotion, and be sure to use it separately.
