LaunchPad: Contact Lenses Tangible Science’s Multi-Purpose Cleaning Solution for Tangible Hydra-PEG Coated Lenses By Staff Thursday, March 28, 2019 12:11 AM More ImagesProduct: Tangible CleanTop Line: Tangible Science is launching Tangible Clean, a multi-purpose cleaning solution for Tangible Hydra-PEG coated lenses.Close Up: Tangible Clean simplifies care for coated gas permeable (GP) lenses and can be used for cleaning, conditioning, disinfecting, protein removal, rinsing and storing them safely. Tangible Clean is thinner than most other GP lens care solutions and rinses off easily, potentially avoiding eye sensitivity and fogging that can occur when solution remains on lenses upon insertion.Tangible Hydra-PEG is the only commercially available surface coating for GP lenses and requires a compatible cleaning solution that will not damage the coating, which may be different from solutions used for ordinary GP lenses. For example, uncoated GP lenses may require extra-strength cleaners if deposits are present, but coated lenses are inherently resistant to deposits and fogging and do not require alcohol-based, abrasive, enzymatic, or other extra-strength solutions. In fact, these strong cleaners may prematurely wear away the coating, reducing its benefits. Using Tangible Clean protects the lenses and eliminates the need for an extra cleaning solution. Using the Tangible products together may also reduce some patients’ need for multiple cleanings and rewetting drops during the day, further reducing the number of products, amount of solution and inconvenience they face.Using Tangible Clean, a patient can also safely rub lenses during cleaning without damaging the coating, helping to ensure the lenses are fully clean and disinfected. Rubbing lenses with incompatible cleaner will damage them.Vital Stats: Tangible Clean has been cleared by the FDA for daily cleaning and disinfection for any gas permeable contact lens, in addition to coated lenses, and is conveniently available to patients online via a subscription program at www.tangiblescience.com.www.tangiblescience.com
