Can this solution be used to STORE contact lenses overnight? I do not use heat disinfection (as a matter of fact I've never heard of that!).

Yes, you can. I do it all the time and have for years.I keep my lenses for two weeks before I throw them away.

Yes I use it to store my PROSE lenses, but not for long periods of time. There are only a few preservative free options out there and this is a good one. You have to discard the open bottle after like 24 hours though....so be prepared to spend a lot. FYI Costco sells it for $7.49 but you have to request it and they will special order it for you. Amazon is great when you need it quick...CVS is almost double the price at $13.00 out here in California. I use it to store, rinse and for insertion of my lenses (devices).

No because it dries too quickly. It says keep away from heat and flame and do not inhale avoid contact with eyes skin and clothing

Yep, I use it everyday. My contacts last twice as long, and I think it feels much cleaner when I use this vs. the conventional saline solution.

You only need to put a very, very, tiny drop of ointment in your eye at night. One tube should last a very long time. There should never be any residue in the morning and it should never even get on your eye lids.

The bottle suggests refrigeration once open but I store mine on a cool dry location and it works just fine. I know living in hotter and more humid climates more goods can be maintained through refrigeration... I guess you'll have to call the manufacturer. Sorry I'm not much help.

I would strongly suggest you ask the eye contacts provider for that answer. I do not wear contacts, and have no idea about that question... I do know my husband who is the one who uses the light, does not look at the light direct.. but as far as being a safety issue, would be best to ask a professional.... Sorry...

I don't see why not, I've used it under eyes. just don't want it to get in your eye.

Yep! I use it as a travel case for my toothbrush. It has a 5 minute timer, so for the first 5 minutes after you close the lid the UV light will stay on. Then it will automatically shut off and stay off until you open and re-close the case again.

I'm afraid that I haven't found anything yet. I read somewhere to try bio pure, by Bausch and Lomb I think, or pure moist by opti free. Pure moist is ok but you have to clean daily wear contacts often (Aquify let me be lazy with that). I haven't tried bio pure yet. And, as with a lot of things, different eyes or contacts may have different needs. Good luck!

I second the comments of John and Debit. After handling one, just don't go and put on contact lenses w/o washing you hands. There is no risk in having them in you pan. The pellets are solid until exposed to water when they start dissolving.

I contacted Alcon regarding the length of time you use the "cleaning" case. I was told you could use it for 2 -12 oz. bottles then it should be discarded and replaced. Keep in mind that each bottle should be used within 90 days of opening. And it certainly has extended the life of my lenses and the comfort!

I use only this and it has been the best one for me with sensitive eyes. I do not rinse with anything after the process, put lens directly in my eye with no problem (AFTER the allotted 6 hour processing time!)

If you store your Unizyme Enzymatic Lens cleaner in a climate-controlled environment (that is, inside your heated/air conditioned home), they should last just about indefinitely. If they were being stored for a long time in an unheated or humid warehouse, they might degrade relatively quickly.

I was curious about the same thing and was just reviewing their products at systane dot com. The only 2 products that even mentions contacts are Systane for contacts (used w/ contacts in) and Systane nighttime ointment which says "remove contacts before using." I have severe dry eye to the point of needing punctal plugs, but my eye doctor has said more or less the same. Take out your contacts and use an eye ointment at night, then drops with contacts during the day. Will probably try these next.

Just look on internet for recipe for SALINE solution. My doc had me make my own years ago. I wouldnt make a large quantity though cuz you want it fresh. I believe I stored in fridge. Just micro till comfortable temp before use.

I really can't answer in regards to using another product during the day because I can only use "Night-time eye ointments 24 hours a day period, due to a Cancer Surgery my eye lids on the side of the surgery have never closed ever again. All I can say is what my surgeon said to me at the time, "I am the only one that can tell how much I need all day long to insert for lubrication", he can't even say how much to do for maintenance. It is one of those things that is a trial and error on your part but what your eyes like and don't like.

I thought about using zip-lock bags but those apparently melt at around 140 degrees F and this safe is only rated to keep temps below 350 for an hour. I imagine melting plastic onto your important documents would be bad. Consider using sillica gel packs to reduce humidity instead? Or, I guess you could keep your docs in an envelope within the zip-lock bag so that the envelope shields your docs from the melting plastic.
