Comparing Contact Lens Solutions – Keeping Your Eyes Healthy

With recent health concerns regarding the link between contact lens solutions like Advanced Medical Optics (AMO)’s Complete Moisture Plus and the eye infection Acanthamoeba keratitis, many consumers are taking a second look at their contact lens cleaning systems.

Multipurpose vs. Peroxide-based Solutions

The multipurpose contact lens solution – that is, cleaner, disinfectant, and rinse all in one – is growing more popular with consumers by virtue of its convenience. With all the hassle involved with wearing contact lenses, being able to care for them using only one bottle of solution is an attractive prospect, compared to the older peroxide-based cleaning systems, which require several distinct and time-consuming steps to use. Because peroxide can cause severe stinging and even corneal damage if it comes in contact with eyes, peroxide-based systems must neutralize the solution with either a catalyst or special rinse before the patient can wear the lenses after cleaning. It is easy to why many modern consumers are drawn to the benefits of a one step, one bottle solution.

Some experts are not so quick to jump on the multipurpose bandwagon, however, arguing that research suggests multipurpose solutions are simply not as effective as peroxide-based ones at killing potentially harmful microorganisms – such as Acanthamoeba. In their eyes, the switch from peroxide-based to multipurpose lens solution may in fact be a trade-off between convenience and safety considerations.

If you have suffered eye health problems as a result of using the Complete Moisture Plus contact lens solution sold by AMO, you may be entitled to compensation.
