What's a good way to get protein deposits off of Boston Equalens contact lenses?

It in the centre, and on record?

What do Boston recommend for their lenses?

I wear Menicon Z alpha lenses and Menicon recommend Menicare Progent once/week for 30 minutes only. It is a two part sodium hypochlorite (bleach) and potassium bromide system.

It would probably work for the Boston RGP lenses also, but check with Boston or your optician first.

Hi Knotlob, Hi Aaroncablemom and others,

for my Boston XOs my optometrist recommend the Menicare Plus daily cleaner together with the Menicare Progent once/week for 30 minutes only.
I think, this system should be ok for the other BOSTON RGPs also.

Regards, nick.

I did a Google search and it found out that Boston actually makes a contact lens cleaner called Boston Original Care System. The description says "Disinfects, cushions and wets lenses. Weekly protein deposit removal."

Remember that laundry detergent commercial that said "Protein Gets Out Protein"? How about "Boston Cleans Boston"?

I'm glad you like them. Do you use the Boston Original Care System regimen as well?

dda1960 · #18 (**permalink**) 09-18-2010, 07:28 PM

yeah i like the advance condition solution better though seems like a less harsh formula still sticky&goopy lol but it does cushion the lens well

Prevention is often better than trying to fix the problem after the fact. Many people who use Alcon's daily cleaner on a regular basis do not have any deposit problems. Plus, if your enzyme cleaner is not working very well, it could be calcium deposits. The Alcon cleaner has tiny polymer beads that scrub the lenses surface without scratching, and therefore it does not matter what type of deposit it is.

We should get back to the subject of cleaning contact lenses. Don't use TNT to clean them, kids.

"Toluene" is a three syllable word pronounced like "tall" "you" "een."

By the looks of that cartoon picture you attached, I'd say you couldn't find a picture of a bundle of real dynamite. I suppose they only come in single sticks.

DO NOT USE ALCON cleaner on any rgp material cuz it can damage the surface of them......It can render rgp lenses non wetting.....THis is not my opinion but there is research out there that point to this.

I would like to know where you found this info, other that saying 'it's out there'. I've been fitting lenses for thirty years and have never seen anything about damage to RGP materials. I've been using it on my own RGPs as well as all my patients and never had a problem.

Its not my opinion....the research is pointing towards the newer flourine silicone methacrylate materials. I've seen the microscopic pictures of lens damage with abrasive cleaners on these newer materials.

http://www.clspectrum.com/article.aspx?article=11594

Ive been to the forum meetings on this discussion.

Im just sayn......because Ive not had issues with my patients as well!

contact lens spectrum is a great professional resource site and they have courses and seminars that cater to us pro's....U SHOULD GO SOMETIME to learn about the latest info!!! Ive been fittiing lenses for 40 years btw! There's always something new to learn.

Yes, there are a few posts on Lens 101 that point to Contact Lens Spectrum as their source. I've read some of those articles and they're usually pretty good reading, even for a non-professional like myself.

Speaking of which, that article cited by luvbostonxo2's said "Cleaning RGPs between the thumb and forefinger is not recommended" but didn't say why. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Sorry for sounding harsh but It really picks me when othe pros think they know more....When in fact they don't!

I am an opto and have 40 years experience in contact lens fitting I take courses monthly to learn as much as I can about contact lenses even AFT 40 yrs.

THe newer rgp materials that are in the hyper DK class such as Boston XO2, menicon alpha, floroperm 151 etc are slightly softer materials that can warp alot more easily than the older (firmer) rgp materials.

ON a pro level material hardness is a great concern because these materials have a teflon effect on the eye ( more slippery). I DO NOT recommend abrasive cleaners on these newer materials. Studies have shown that THEY do damage the surface of these newer materials.

Why didn't you just quote the reference source to start with ??? And I do go to upgrading seminars twice a year. Yes there's always something new to learn, but when you say 'there info out there', it doesn't sound very credible.

RGP cleaners -- RGP cleaners often have detergent agents (surfactants), friction enhancers or abrasive particles to remove unwanted deposits from lens surfaces. Cleaning is important for removing deposits and decreasing the number of potential organisms attached to RGP lens surfaces. Some highly oxygen permeable RGP materials are softer and more flexible than lower Dk materials or earlier generation materials like PMMA. Therefore, proper cleaning technique is important. Lenses made from these softer, more flexible materials should not be rubbed too vigorously. Overly aggressive cleaning procedures may damage the lens or cause parameter changes which may alter the lens fit or visual acuity.

Cleaning RGPs between the thumb and forefinger is not recommended. Advise patients to clean RGP lenses in the palms of their hands by rubbing with a finger in a linear motion. Placing cleaning solution in the concave side and rubbing is also helpful for removing deposits on the posterior lens surface.

This is the section from the magazine article about RGP cleaners. I see where it does say to be careful on new materials, but nothing that says 'DO NOT USE' any cleaner. If I have missed something, I would ask any forum members to let me know.

Boston advance contains polymeric surfactants but the particles are much finer (fine that u cant see or feel them while cleaning). Alcon opticlean with larger polymeric beads have been shown clinically to affect the surface of newer flourosiliconeacrylate materials. Personally I do NOT recommend abrasive cleaners to any of my contact lens patients even my soft lens patients for that matter.

SOFPRO by lobob is one of the best cleaners I have found for soft lenses. Its strong but easily rinseable with no trace after rinsing. There's better options than the OLD polymeric cleaners such as opticlean from the 80"s.

Boston advance and Lobob optimum cleaner for rgp's are the two best cleaners for rgp's...

If u can get it...Menicon Progent protein remover for rgp is one of the best protein removers for rgp's!

Hey check it out. Two Eye Care Professionals duking it out right here in this thread. They seem to have come to an agreement, which is good. Everybody wins.

If I may add my no-professional opinion, if one were to clean their contact lenses between their thumb and forefinger, I would think it would be very easy to drop the lens that way.

I do not see any argument, I see a differing of opinions. We both make recommendations to our patients based on our long term experiences with various lenses and products.We both want what is best for our patients. I believe if a lens or solution product is not a good one it would be taken off the market due to low sales, so I do not say,'DO NOT USE...'. I believe there is a place for all products, even those I don't recommend to my patients. In the end, it's all about what works for each patient
Cleaning RGPs between your finger and thumb is also a good way to break a lens, but some people still do it.

I'm not an eye care professional, but I agree that all products are useful for someone. Like you said, if it doesn't work it won't sell.

Wait, maybe I should rethink that . . .

from what i've been reading ,one of the reasons they do not recommend abrasive cleaners is because of the plasma treatment/coating? they do to the lenses to make them more wettable am i right?

Yes that is another reason NOT to use polymeric cleaners on the newer floro silicone acrylate or styrene rgp materials!

Contact Lens Fitter · #48 (**permalink**) 12-13-2011, 10:58 AM

Blanchard Labs (do not deal directly with the public) make many high Dk lenses and plasma treat all. I have never had one come with a warning not to use a particular cleaner or solution. Opticlean ( as stated above ) contains 'beads' which are round and not abrasive to lens surfaces. So unless you clean your RGPs like you're chalking a pool cue, there should be no problem with damage.
More to the point of the original thread, Equalens is an older, lower Dk lens that is fairly hard. It has been on the market since the mid-1980's. I have recommended Opticlean/Poylyclens since then to hundreds of patients who have deposits, with excellent results. If this person (who started this thread) cannot remove all deposits from the lenses with enzyme cleaner, then using Opticlean would be a very reasonable alternative.

agreed opticlean is fantastic with the older rgp materials...but I find Menicon progent much more powerful in weekly cleaning...but here in NA its not widely available.Personally tho I find the lobob cleaner for rgp the most powerful.

NOw im gonna age myself...does anyone remember the menicon cleaning sponge for use with rgp's from the 80's? It was a soft brasive cleaning pad to clean stubborn deposits off rgp lenses.

Thanks for sharing your opinions on products for cleaning RGP contact lenses. Just so we're clear, when you say "here in NA" you mean "here in North America," right?

Sorry, I don't remember those abrasive cleaning pads. I was in high school in the 80's and also wore glasses like that gentleman in the left center position.

We had machines that had a vertical spinning shaft that we could put different attachments on to. By mounting the lenses on a holder, we could manipulate the lens on a spinning pad with abrasive compounds to and or subtract about 0.50D of strength to the lenses. Not something we can do with many of today's materials and designs.
