Enzymatic Lens Cleaner, 12 Tablets

I started wearing contact lenses about 25 years ago. And I believe they were disposable as are the ones I wear now. Though the ones I wear now are a lot softer I think. Back then the instructions from my optometrist was to wear them 3 consecutive days, tops. I was told to take them out whenever I slept as well. Being 15 y/o @ the time though meant I stuck with this regiment about a month. I wore and slept with them around 2 weeks before putting in new ones. I would keep some old ones in saline in case something happened and was unable to get fresh ones immediately.Skip ahead to my college years and being dirt poor, I would wear my lenses until they, literally, started popping out on their own (around a month & 1/2, day and night). Unable to buy new ones like I was instructed, I often would keep wearing the same 3 pair over & over. They got cloudier and more uncomfortable every time I re wore a pair but it was still better than nothing at all. Although I had tried some of the liquid cleaner, which did nothing, On a hunch one day I decided to buy some of these cleaning tablets. I had around 14 old lenses soaking in old saline solution in one of my old lens cases. I threw a tablet in with them, shook em, and let them soak. About a week later, a lens I was wearing ripped. I forgot I'd even used the tablets on my old lenses. I put an tablet soaked lens in and my eye and got scared cause my eye started to burn. After a minute or 2, though, they stopped burning.I was shocked @ how clear and comfy my lenses had become. They felt literally like brand new and lasted just as long, as a fresh pair, until needing to be soaked again.If I really needed to, I could cycle through the same 3 pair of disposable lenses for about 2 years. Just switch every 1 1/2 months with another old pair that had been soaking, (Oh, by the way, I have not noticed any negative effects to the lenses, regardless of how long they've soaked) I then would throw the ones I just took out into the same old tablet solution to soak until I need them again.This stuffs works great, though it may work to good cause tablets like these are becoming harder and harder to find, and since these kind of cleaning tablets have shockingly reduced the # of contacts I must purchase, and if there are more people that use the tablets as I do, well, the disposable lens manufacturers might not care for cleaning products such as these.

This is the most reasonable and high quality tablet enzyme available for contact lens wearers. Most manufacturers have discontinued tablet enzymes. They are pushing the drops. However, I have found that the drops do not work well enough on RGP contact lens. You still need the tablets. If the tablet enzymes disappear then many more eye infections may result. The enzymes keep your lens clear of bacteria that can and do lead to infections. Thank you Amazon for still carrying this product. This is an important product for all lens wearers especially RGP lens wearers.

I was excited to see this product as it was advertised to be for hard contacts. I used to buy an enzyme tablet that was specifically for rigid gas permeable contact lenses. Those were taken off the market, I imagine because rigid contact wearers are becoming fewer and fewer. When I received this product I was disappointed when I read the insert as there is nothing mentioned at all about use for gas permeable lenses. I'm using them anyway, assuming that if they can't hurt soft and more fragile lenses, they hopefully will be ok to use on my hard ones.

I have been searching stores for an enzymatic cleaner and figured they didn't make them anymore until I found it on Amazon. I used these enzyme tablets years ago but then they came out with the all-in-one no rub/cleaning/disinfectant solutions and seemed to do away with the tablets. When I received this product, I was wearing a pair of contacts that were already pretty shot but I tried this product on them to see if it would help. It didn't seem to make much difference. I think the key is to use this product weekly to keep build-up off your contacts and not wait until the damage is already done. I have used this product each week for about four weeks now on a new set of contact lenses and it does seem to keep them feeling like a fresh new pair. My only complaint is that if you keep your contacts separated for each eye you have to break the tablet in half. It is scored but I don't have a pill cutter and so far no matter how careful I am splitting it, half the tablet usually ends up flying across the room and a few little pieces break off. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with this product.

I dont think a product that cost this much should be purchased. It will run you broke if you keep buying it at the price they are offering it for. Its crazy!!!! Longs CVS has is for $11 for a box.

They want $80 for a $10 item - unbelievable.

I wasn't wearing contacts for a while, when I finally went back to GP lenses, and when I started looking for the enzyming cleaners and couldn't find them anywhere... I was beginning to wonder... I always thought they were kind of a pain to use, but nothing ever cleaned the lenses like the enzyme tablets. I did some searches on line and found nothing... funny how they can make things disappear..... anyway I found this, and was thrilled, maybe we should be buying up all the product we can?If anyone knows why these were pulled (it's not going to make me stop using what I have) I'd like to know about it. I think they just are trying to get folks to wear the soft lenses..more revenue generating. I've had GP lenses that I had for over 5 years! now if they stop manufacturing those lenses, we really will have a problem!

it's the only cleaner i trust for my gas permeable contact lenses. It cleans well and it is so very difficult to find in stores.
