Usage and directions

Daily clean

Clean each of your lenses with a daily cleaner and rinse with a sterile saline solution before placing them in the appropriate basket of the lens holder.

Disinfect

Disinfect with Oxysept® Disinfecting Solution. Fill the Oxysept® Disinfecting Solution/Neutralizer Cup to the fill line with solution.

Neutralize

Neutralize with Oxysept® Neutralizing Tablets. Place one neutralizing tablet into the solution before inserting the lens holder and tightening the lid. Invert the Oxysept® Disinfecting Solution/Neutralizer Cup 3 consecutive times to wet the upper surface of the cup and the inside of the cap to ensure full neutralization. The Oxysept® Neutralizing Tablet will color the solution pink reminding you that you have added the neutralizing tablet at the beginning of the six (6) hour soak.

Soak

Soak your contact lenses for a minimum of six (6) hours from the time you dropped the neutralizing tablet into the Oxysept® Cup. Your disinfected contact lenses are now ready to wear.

Once a week, remove protein buildup

Add one Ultrazyme® Enzymatic Cleaner Tablet at the same time you add the Oxysept® Neutralizing Tablet to the disinfecting solution. Remove lenses and rub and rinse with a sterile saline solution prior to wearing your lenses.
