Is there a generic of Clear Care?

Clear Care is a brand-name family of products to clean and disinfect soft contact lens. The active ingredient in these cleaners is hydrogen peroxide. Generic soft contact lens cleaners and disinfectant solutions are widely available under brand names such as Equate, Up & Up, and GoodSense. However, Clear Care Plus contains HydraGlide, a hydrogel technology that is unavailable in other contact lens products.

What is Clear Care?

Clear Care is a brand-name family of over-the-counter products to clean, disinfect, store, and rinse soft contact lenses. The solutions/cleaners both contain hydrogen peroxide, an antiseptic, as the active ingredient. The rinse (called Clear Care Rinse & Go) does not contain hydrogen peroxide and is intended to rinse storage or cleaning solution off the lenses before inserting them into the eyes.

Alcon, the manufacturer of Clear Care, has developed a rewetting technology, HydraGlide, that it uses on its silicone hydrogel soft contact lenses. HydraGlide is a hydrogel made of plastic-like substances that holds water but does not dissolve in water. It can sit on the surface of the lens and feel like water, but it continually draws water into itself instead of drying out. Clear Care Plus uses this hydrogel technology and can be used on any type of soft contact lens.

What are the side effects of Clear Care?

Most people who use Clear Care experience no or minimal side effects, which are usually experienced only when cleaning or storage solution is not completely rinsed from the surface of the lens. Common side effects of Clear Care are usually minor and temporary and involve site reactions on the surface of the eye. They include but are not limited to, burning, stinging, irritation, eye pain, blurred vision, redness, dry eye, and watering of the eye. If these symptoms continue, remove the contact lenses from your eyes.

The cleaning solutions do not contain preservatives because hydrogen peroxide is itself a powerful antiseptic. However, the rinse does contain polyquaternium, a common preservative in eye care products. Allergic reactions to the preservative are rare but can be severe: swelling, redness, eye pain, and anaphylaxis, a sudden and dangerous drop in blood pressure. Again, remove the lenses at any sign of an allergic reaction to Clear Care.
