Multi-purpose solution offers a new option for safe and comfortable soft contact lens wear

Scranton, PA-The FDA has granted marketing clearance for RevitaLens Ocutec Multi-purpose Disinfecting Solution (Abbott Medical Optics) for use with silicone hydrogel (SiH) and conventional hydrogel contact lenses (CLs).

Formulated with ingredients that include two disinfectants (alexidine and polyquaternium ammonium) plus lens conditioning agents, this new MPS offers effective disinfecting and cleaning activity, according to results from extensive testing. Patient satisfaction also is excellent due to high lens comfort and the ease of using a single bottle for lens care, said Dr. Shovlin, senior optometrist, Northeastern Eye Institute, Scranton, PA.
