Back to Types of contact lenses

Can I use a different contact lens solution from that recommended by an optometrist?

Answer: 

Always ask an optometrist's advice. Different solutions are designed for different purposes and for particular lens types. For example, two disinfecting solutions may have completely different ingredients and whereas one may leave your lenses ready for insertion, another may require neutralising before you insert your lenses. If in doubt always follow the advice of a qualified optometrist.
