Default Inflammation with PureVision and Renu MultiPlus Solution

I don't want to bad-mouth any contact lens or cleaning solution, but I heard recently that a full 73% of the people who use PureVision contacts and clean them with Renu MultiPlus solution wind up with superficial punctate keratitis. Can this really be true? Does that mean that this contact and this solution are bad, or just bad when used in combination with one another?

That was the subject and focus of a study of silicone contacts and contact lens solutions. Alcon, the maker of Optifree, made the study widely known in the industry and used it to sell their solutions. Their solutions did not cause any significant amount of SPK. Of course, a lawsuit by Bausch and Lomb followed. The superficial punctate keratitis does resolve and does not cause any permament damage. Heavy amounts of SPK may be associated with discomfort, so changing solutions is indicated. The effects and significance of long term SPK is not known at this time.

Hi there IJMB. Welcome to the Forum. It's good to know that Opti-Free is a good alternative to Renu for Purevision contact lenses. Do you use Replenish or Refresh?

Nice work finding those pictures, Tony. I know how hard it can be to find two pictures of two different products that are similar in size like that.

It´s like if I changed to a new brand of lens. Now I can use the PUREVISIONS all day without discomfort.

B&L should take a look a this problem.

If the Powers That Be over at Bausch and Lomb are smart, they should be checking the posts here to get all this valuable customer feedback.
