After that I put it in the lens case and cover the lenses with the solution. In the morning I just take them out of the case and put them straight in! They are blurry for a few minutes but clear up shortly.
My Boston ES lenses wet very well with this regimen. I would like to find a way to work Clear Care into my routine just to have peroxide disinfection, but it does not condition the lenses very well. You could try cleaning with a daily cleaner, disinfecting with Clear Care, and wetting with a solution like Boston conditioning fluid. Clear Care states that you can rub GP lenses with it but I find the cleaner to be insufficient for my deposits, so a separate daily cleaner is necessary for me. YMMV.

Miraflow is the worse cleaner ever because its alcohol content is damaging on all types of lenses. It can change the parameters of soft and rgp lenses. Clear says its safe with rgps but I find it renders them non wetting! Sometimes the chemistry of the materials don't go well with clear care.
the two best systems for rgp is boston advance system and the Optimum system(great for sensitive eyes). The preservative system in boston advance solution thoroughly cleans and disinfects after a tap water rinse. Optimum requires a saline rinse after disinfection and the application of the wetting solution for insertion!
