Contact Lens Solutions for Air Optix for Astigmatism

With so many contact lens cleaning and multi-purpose solutions on the market, it is difficult to find the right one. We have looked at some of the popular solutions. These lens solutions have been tested on patients wearing Air Optix for Astigmatism contact lenses.

The test - conducted by the Staining Grid Center - is measuring the level of staining (an indicator of lens bio compatibility) 2 hours after insertion. For more information about the test procedure check out staininggrid.com.  We are sure, there are other excellent products on the market but we decided to pick the top branded solutions for Air Optix for Astigmatism based on Gary Andrasko's staininggrid site. So, how did we pick them? They are all in the green zone and are showing less than 10% of staining.
