Scleral Lens Supplies



DMV Vented Scleral Cup  

Used for insertion. “Vented” means there is a hole in the plunger.

Dry Eye Shop

 Amazon



EZi Lens Application Ring

Used for insertion.  Experienced soft lens wearers often find the motion used with this is familiar.




DMV Ultra Remover

Used for removal.  Smaller than the insertion plunger.  No hole!  




Boston Simplus

Cleaning solution and overnight storage solution.  Used for both cleaning the lens and overnight storage.  A national brand that can be found at many grocery stores and pharmacies.




Tangible Clean

Cleaning solution and overnight storage solution.  Used for both cleaning the lens and overnight storage.  Larger bottle than Boston.





Bausch & Lomb Sensitive Eyes Saline

Used for rinsing the cleaning solution off of the lens.  Not for filling the bowl.  (This is different than a soft lens multi-purpose solution!)




AirLife Sterile Saline

Solution used for filling the bowl before insertion.



PuriLens Plus

Solution used for filling the bowl before insertion.




 

Artificial tears

Feel free to use these throughout the day.  Keeping the lens lubricated can help with comfort and vision.  Be aware that not all lubricating drops work well with contacts.  Refresh Tears and Systane are very contact lens friendly and are national brands found over the counter at most groceries and pharmacies.




Unscented hand soap

There are "optical" hand soaps available, but the goal is to use a soap without any fragrance, moisturizers or vitamins (anything that could leave a residue).
