A member asked:
Should i be using different solutions for cleaning and soaking contact lenses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but: Most contact lens solutions are multi-purpose meaning that you clean, store and disinfect the lenses with the same solution. There other systems such as peroxide systems which use peroxide to clean and disinfect. With these you can use saline to rinse and insert the lenses.
