Usually you have three things:

  1. Red Cap solution: It's milky, and you use it to clean the lens completely. DO NOT LET IT TOUCH YOUR EYES.
  2. Blue Cap Solution/Conditioner: I usually have the Bausch and Lomb stuff. It says conditioner on it. This is what I use in my contact case to soak overnight.
  3. Saline Solution (Sterile, Preservative Free): Just a simple saline solution. I recommend Purilens. This is what I put in the lens itself before wearing. (https://www.amazon.com/PuriLens-Preservative-Saline-Twelve-Bottles/dp/B000X98XS4)

    So I repeat the same step every morning.

  4. Wash hands with perfume free soap. Dry off with lint-free towel.
  5. Take contact out of case put in palm of hand. Use extra conditioner and lightly rub. Rinse again with more conditioner.
  6. Fill Lens with Saline Solution. Put in Eye.
  7. Dry out case, and leave open.

    At night:

  8. Take contact out, place in case, fill case with Conditioner
  9. Once or twice a week, before this step, I gently clean the contact with the red cap cleaner solution and rinse thoroughly with conditioner before putting in case.

PuriLens works great for me for filling my scleral lenses for insertion. Amazon has a year's supply for $40 - https://www.amazon.com/PuriLens-Preservative-Saline-Twelve-Bottles/dp/B000X98XS4

I'm sorry that your eye doctors aren't working with you until your scleral lenses fit comfortably. I've worn scleral lenses for 4 years now and have loved them - they never hurt my eyes like RGP lenses could. My vision doesn't get noticeably worse as the days goes on like they did with RGPs.

Ask your eye doctors if they can check the fit. There are no nerve endings in your sclera so the lenses should not be hurting your eyes.

Full, but, with the insertion tool, it's super easy.
https://www.amazon.com/DMV-Scleral-Large-Contact-Handler/dp/B00S5LQAUU

those are the tools i'm talking about.. it holds the lens securely, allowing you to fill it, then lean your head to insert it vertically.

u/YuckyChucky · 1 pointr/Keratoconus

I have no experience with the purilens system, so I can't really speak to that. But I've been in my lenses for about a year now and have just been using the unisol to fill my lenses as my doctor suggested.

Also, make sure you get something to clean your lenses, nightly is preferable. I use this:
http://www.amazon.com/Clear-Care-Hydrogen-peroxide-Cleaning/dp/B0076P12W2

This is important for your comfort, the lenses can get kinda gunky and possibly lead to infections if you don't keep them clean, so this is what my doctor suggested as well!

Good luck, hit me up ANY TIME!

For the nighttime eye guard make sure to get 3M tape. I had used some generic from the pharmacy and after tearing it off multiple weeks on end my skin started to get raw. This is what I used

If he already wears eye glasses get new ones ordered with one lens straight through. Also get good total block sunglasses.



Get baby shampoo or TheraTears lid scrub to help him clean his eyes. All those drops can build up a lot of goop. His eyes will be dry a lot so a lot of eyedrops (Thera tears is what I use) will help. Also for allergies in the eye to help with itching Zaditor was a life saver.

u/SongToWoody · 2 pointsr/Keratoconus

well, when i mean cheap stuff i mean 30x5ml pack around 3€ here in Portugal, which is preservative free as any expensive brand and has the same ingredients "0.9% sodium chloride solution" mixed with water.

I see on amazon even cheaper for those in U.S like https://www.amazon.com/Teleflex-Addipak-Unit-Solutions-Count/dp/B01DZ0DYOA

u/JonnyF88 · 3 pointsr/Keratoconus

You could need a better fit, they fogged up when dry and needed a refit.
I wouldn’t store them dry, my doctor recommended this brand of saline

PuriLens Plus Preservative Free Saline Twelve 4-fl. oz(120-mL)Bottles https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000X98XS4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_jfl4Ab5NYFF0J

u/aczietlow_ · 1 pointr/Keratoconus

That's a fair point. Using this method does require a separate eye plunger for removal. I used these: https://amzn.to/2RJN8gS and found they had better suction.

This technique helped me get use to lining it up correct on the first attempt and feel comfortable shoving a chunk of glass in my eye every morning. After a few months I was able to use the standard plunger without the bottom cut out for insertion and removal.

u/ahmf2g · 1 pointr/Keratoconus

+1 for celluvisc. I use it everyday along with addipak saline. I find it to be more comfortable than just saline alone

Last visit at the eye doctor, he said that the celluvisc makes the solution more viscous (thicker) which makes it harder for dust and other irritants to get under the lens. I have heard other folks say it helps with fogging as well.

Possibly better than nice sunglasses are safety glasses by Uvex with Dark Gray lenses, such as these:

  • https://www.amazon.com/Uvex-S3201X-Genesis-Espresso-Anti-Fog/dp/B002A5BPK2

    Uvex glasses are economical and their lenses are designed to filter out light as needed to meet safety standards. With fashion sunglasses you are never quite sure what they filter out. Uvex Dark Gray lenses filter out close to 90% of visible light until you get down into the orange and red range. About 70% of the deep red end of the spectrum is filtered out and it drops down to about filtering out about 50% of infrared.

    I don't know if infrared contributes to discomfort after CXL. If it does, Uvex Shade 3.0 filters out more than 95% of infrared and 90% of visible light except around green where it filters out about 80%. But these are meant for welding protection and you will barely be able to see with them.

Teleflex Addipak Unit Dose... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DZ0DYOA?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

It's a little cheaper then getting it from the doctor. Depending on what you use to deep clean your lenses, you can pretty much find it on Amazon too.

u/blueengine · 1 pointr/Keratoconus

Thanks for the reply and I think I get what you're saying. Are you using a small or larger tool to remove/put them in. For putting them in I use the larger plunger (THIS ) and then to remove them I've been using this Smaller One. So are you using the edge of one of these to help break the suction of the skirt?

u/barret907k · 3 pointsr/Keratoconus

Have you looked into a night time eye mask? Something like Wahah Dry Eyes Relief Eyeshade Goggles for Sleeping Well, Block Air Leak into Eyes, Relief Dry Eyes, Eyeshade for Men and Women https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V222SDY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_njKODbY994JFA

Boston 2 step is what I use. Red cap to clean it, rinse and then put in contact case with the blue cap conditioning solution. I'll use the protein remover that comes in this kit every couple weeks or so too.

u/MrArmbar90 · 1 pointr/Keratoconus

I understand what you mean with waste regarding the unidose tubes, but it's currently the best way to avoid contamination as others have stated. I am in the U.S. and I use this product - which is almost identical to what you use, but with different branding and casing. You can always recycle the tubes IIRC.

​

Edit: Adding on - - - I have also used Purilens in the past and that was over kill. I used to purchase six, 4oz bottles at a time, but I kept under utilizing it by a landslide by the time it expired. Container states to stop using it 30 days after you originally break the seal. If I didn't I would start to notice that as time went on and I continued use of the saline, my sclerals would start to get cloudy towards the end of those 30 days. That's why I switched. Best of luck!

u/ohms12 · 1 pointr/Keratoconus

Turns out I lied, the bottles feels like 500ml, but they’re 2x350ml. More then enough for a month!

u/aManPerson · 2 pointsr/Keratoconus

i dont know if this can be used with sclearals, but i love it for my RGPs https://www.amazon.com/Clear-Care-Hydrogen-peroxide-Cleaning/dp/B0076P12W2/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1481571913&sr=8-1&keywords=hydrogen+peroxide+lens+cleaner

shoot, looking on google, it doesn't immediately sound like this should be used on sclarel lenses.

u/JyShink · 3 pointsr/Keratoconus

Get a contract lens remover/plunger and use it to pull it the lens by the edge of it when it's in your eye. That's the easiest way to pull it out.

u/globeadue · 1 pointr/Keratoconus

I'm ordering some
Sensitive Eyes Plus Saline Solution
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EALX660
-Use for rinsing after daily cleaning and before insertion
I assume before insertion means 'filling' for insertion.
Comments on amazon don't outright state they use for insertion, but several keratoconus posts say they 'use' it, so that buffered my assumption.
I've been trying to unisol for weeks now locally, finally remembered to google it and found it's discontinued. Used the stuff for years now.

u/smoogrish · 1 pointr/Keratoconus

What works the best for me and sucks but you have to do it is you HAVE to look down into the center of the lens. You cant look sideways like with other contacts. If you dont honestly just forget it. It took me so long to get used to it and it fucking sucked for a week but now i get it in 1-2 tries.

Even if it hurts you have to do it or else it just wont work! I have the best contact eye clamp in the business from years of KC and even that didnt help until I learned to look down at the lens while inserting

Also to save on fluid if you dont already:

PuriLens Plus Preservative Free... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000X98XS4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

u/subconciousness · 1 pointr/Keratoconus

seconding everything this guy says, though i use optive preservative free instead of the modudose. and i never leave home without the contact lens inserters, makes it so much easier and hygenic to refresh your lenses with new fluid.

u/badbios · 1 pointr/Keratoconus

Are you in the states? After Alcon discontinued Unique PH, the licensing and formula was bought by Menicon and is now sold as Menicon's Unique PH on Amazon (Prime shipping, and competitively priced). If you're in Europe, I think Alcon's Unique PH is now sold under Menicon's MeniCare Plus brand name.

u/Complete-Apathy · 2 pointsr/Keratoconus

My right eye is much worse than my left. I spent years with badly fitted RGP lenses. I finally found a someone that knows what they are doing. It took months to learn to relax the muscles around my right eye to see.

I've eye patched before. Try using migrastick or gentle topical muscle relaxers on the stressed muscles, basically deep heat but for sensitive areas.

u/skunkwaffle · 1 pointr/Keratoconus

I don't know what shipping is like where you're going, but I usually order my saline on Amazon. If you can get a delivery there you should be good to go.

Also, I always fly with my contacts. It's really not bad taking them out and putting them back in later. I wouldn't try during really bad turbulence, but otherwise it's not really all that difficult.
