Hello Everyone!

I have been wearing contact lenses for many many years. Over 26 years now and still going strong.

I don't want to cause a major debate here but, I have had the exact same problem you are describing across the board with Hard PMMA lenses, RGP lenses Boston, Hydro 2, and soft Lenses. The culprit? Allergies to chemicals in the solutions. When ever I encounter a foggy lens after a short insertion time like 10 mins or so. I know that the solution must have something I am allergic to.

All Boston solutions cause foggy lenses very rapidly for me... So does most of the soft lens solutions No Rub formulas available. So, the best solution is 2 different MFGs. I recommend LoBob Optimum CDS, ESC, and WRW, and also Ciba Clear Care solutions. They are both chemical disenfection methods and both work well and have very little chance of allergic reactions such as fogging, or red eye Unless you don't rinse the Optimum CDS or ESC very well before insertion. And Ciba Clear Care must be neutralized in the Case that comes with the solution for a minimum of 6 hours I believe. The Disc in the bottom of the case neutralizes the Hydrogen Peroxide and converts to normal saline.

I use the Optimum CDS and Saline 1/2 and 1/2 in my Ultrasonic cleaner and just rinse them well with Distilled water and then put the Wetting Re-Wetting solution on the lens and then insert it. Very comfortable and you also won't experience blurry vision for a few mins like you do with conditioning solutions such as Boston Simplus, or Boston Advance conditioning solution. This is because the LoBob Optimum WRW is like a tear and not a slimy liquid. Your lenses settle quicker.

I have also used the Clear Care before and It's very good as well. There is even fewer chances of Allergies (cloudy lenses) with this solution as it's essentially Saline and Hydrogen Peroxide after The solution is neutralized in the case (You will see the neutralizer go to work immediately, there will be thousands of tiny bubbles rising up from the disc to the top of the case). The action of the bubbles actually helps clean the lenses from dirt and films without rubbing. I rub them anyway with a bit of clear care before I put them in the case to be disinfected.

So, If you are having problems every day with a cloudy lens after inserting it... I would recommend you contact your eye doctor and verify with them that you can try Ciba Clear Care. I recommend going to Clear Care first even if you want to switch to LoBob Optimum. The reason to use Clear Care first is that the Hydrogen Peroxide in Clear Care will purge the lenses of any of the Boston Solutions very quickly usually in the 1st use. Then if you want to switch you won't have to deal with residual chemicals left on the lenses.

I hope this helps and always check with your Eye Dr. before you switch solutions on your own, they are the experts after all.

Cheers!
