How much does it help to rub your Boston II contacts as you're cleaning them? If you think it really does help, what is your technique?

I use the Boston cleaning solution with scrubbing beads. Just what I started out with and it’s what I use. It really gets them clean.

I place the lens in my hand add a few drops to the inside of the lens and in a circular motion I work the solution around the entire lens surface then rinse under a fine stream of tap filtered water.

Hi JD. Welcome back.

Thanks for sharing your cleaning technique. I noticed you said that you use a circular motion. I thought I read someplace that you're supposed to work from the center outward. Have you ever heard of that?

When I first got fitted one of the things that he was emphatic about, and so were the other ophthalmologist was that using a circular motion makes sure that both surfaces are being cleaned completely. I actually tried it when I was being instructed on my lens and it just doesn't get the lens clean at all.

The beads depend on a constant motion and circular makes sure of that.

I think that once you get a feel for your lenses, you discover a method that works best for you.

As long as the lenses are getting clean enough, your techniques shouldn't make a huge difference.

I use the simplus solution kit to clean the lenses. Although sometimes the cleaning may not be a satisfactory one but never had a problem with cleaning.

Tell me more about these "scrubbing beads" JD. Is that what they're actually called? If I Googled "scrubbing beads" would I find this product?
