For people who need only a small amount of saline per session, Lacripure can last up to 3 months.

Purilens Plus Saline
buffered, 2oz, 4oz, Lifestyle Company

Purilens Plus is a pH balanced preservative-free saline sold in 4oz or 2oz bottles. It is buffered, i.e. it has additives to maintain a pH similar to the eye, and has the same ingredients as ScleralFil.

Purilens is popular scleral lens users who need a lot of saline each day, either because they are new, or because they need extra saline for multiple lens insertion attempts, or because they remove, clean and re-apply their lenses during the day.

Unlike most salines sold for scleral lenses, Purilens is packaged in a multi-dose bottle rather than a single-use vial. Due to the lack of preservative, these bottles can become contaminated. Be very careful to avoid touching the tip of the bottle to your lenses, eyes, or any surface.

According to the manufacturer’s labeling, the bottles must be discarded within 14 days. You can use Purilens for rinsing lenses for the full 14 days. However, we recommend consulting your provider about whether they feel it is acceptable to use Purilens for filling your scleral lenses for the entire 14 days. Many providers have a shorter recommendation due to the potential for contamination after opening the bottle. For example, the PROSE Use and Care Guide from BostonSight instructs patients to use Purilens for filling no longer than 48 hours after opening the bottle.

Some providers recommend refrigerating this product.

The Purilens caps are the “puncture” type: you remove the cap, remove a white plastic ring, then replace the cap and screw it in fully to puncture the sealed bottle top.

Hydrogen peroxide system, Hydra-PEG compatible, Red cap, Alcon

Clear Care Plus is a hydrogen peroxide disinfection system for contact lenses that is suitable for GP (including scleral) lenses. It has more additives that “regular” Clear Care. User preferences vary between the two, but many scleral lens users prefer the Triple Action version for both comfort and vision.

Clear Care Plus is used to clean and rinse lenses, then disinfect them. It comes with a special “basket” style case that contains a neutralizing disc. You place your lenses in the cage, fill the case with solution, then place the cage in the case. Over a 6-hour period the lenses are disinfected and the the disc converts the solution (which is mostly hydrogen peroxide) to saline.

CAUTION: The Clear Care case is not suitable for use with larger or deeper scleral lenses. Consult your provider to ensure your lenses can be used with the Clear Care case.

Clear Care Plus is a “red cap” solution that cannot be used in the eye.

DMV Scleral Stand

DMV Scleral Stand
stand, DMV

The DMV Scleral Stand is an inexpensive, collapsible scleral application stand. It consists of a translucent base and tube and a DMV Vented Scleral Cup. This stand has no light source. However, for those who need a light to assist with lens positioning, you can shine a light at the base or tube and you will be able to see the light through the plunger.

The DMV stand is particularly popular for learners and convenient for travel due to its size.

The DMV Vented Scleral Cup is a popular scleral lens application plunger. It can be used on its own or in certain stands, such as the DMV Scleral Stand.

This vented plunger does not apply any suction to the lens. However, it allows light to come through the shaft, which is helpful for correctly positioning your lens, especially if you have low vision.

Careful: DMV cases are airtight. Don’t use this case for storage unless your plunger is completely dry.

The DMV Scleral Up is a popular lens application tool for use with fingers. It is not commonly used with stands. The shaft is hollow but solid on the handle end. This allows suction to be applied to the lens in order to hold the lens in position while you fill it and apply it, without risk of “tipping over”. You squeeze to apply suction, and squeeze again to release the lens onto the eye.

Careful: The case it comes in is water-tight. Don’t use it for storage unless your plunger is completely dry.

EZI Scleral Lens Applicator Ring
EZI Scleral Lens Applicator Ring

EZI Scleral Lens Applicator Ring is placed on a finger (with hand extended palm up) which allows you to make use of both hands for the lid spread. It’s a simple concept which for some patients can be a game changer.

There are two sizes of this product - Scleral, and Mini Scleral / Hybrid. The sizes refer to the cup where the lens is placed, as the ring itself is adjustable. Typically, the Scleral one is recommended for lenses 15mm or larger but please check with your provider for guidance.

The S5 Mini inserter is a 5.5” high lighted plunger stand whose base suctions to a counter top for stabilization.

The S5 offers advantages for those concerned about the stability of their scleral lens application stand or who have to stoop too far for other stands. According to Amazon, personal coaching is included with the purchase.

See also: S5 Inserter, which is the same concept but has a telescoping base that allows you to raise the plunger holder to standing height.

The DMV 45 is an alternative removal plunger which is helpful as a way to attach a plunger without placing your hand immediately in front of your eye as needed with a standard removal plunger (DMV Ultra). This can be particularly useful in cases of low vision or just one seeing eye.

The DMV 45 is shorter than the DMV Ultra, which for some people makes it more difficult to use. One suggested “hack” is to place a piece of plastic straw over the handle end.

Careful: DMV cases are airtight. Don’t use this case for storage unless your plunger is completely dry.

Dental bibs are a practical accessory for using scleral lenses on the go. The plastic backing and absorbent surface makes them suitable to cover any surface where you may need to handle your sclerals - at work, even in flight.

Mirror

High magnification mirrors are an essential tool for some scleral lens users. They can assist with the application and removal processes and help to determine whether there are any bubbles present under the lens.

Contact lens friendly hand soaps
Contact lens friendly hand soaps

Many hand soaps today contain moisturizers. But the hand soap you use before handling sclerals should be moisturizer free so that oils are not transferred to the scleral lens surface.

Options can be as simple as Dawn dish soap, or a hand soap sold specifically for contact lens users, such as the popular Ocusoft brand.

Basic flat screw-top lens case

Flat cases can be used for daily disinfection of sclerals with multi-purpose solution as long as the size is compatible. They are also handy for temporary lens storage in multi-purpose solution even if you normally use a hydrogen peroxide disinfection system with a “basket” style case.

PROSE case
PROSE case

The PROSE case is a specialty case from BostonSight designed for PROSE device disinfection using hydrogen peroxide systems (Clear Care). It is very large and requires approximately 1.5oz (44mL) of Clear Care or hydrogen peroxide per use.

This case requires a catalyst disc, which is not included and cannot be purchased separately. To obtain a catalyst disc, you need to purchase Clear Care, remove the disc from the Clear Care case and place it in the PROSE case. This is an OFF LABEL use of Clear Care, so consult your provider.

This case is suitable for lenses from 16mm to 22mm diameter and is not suitable for corneal RGPs or soft lenses. The basket diameter is approximately 25mm. If your lenses are larger than 22mm, please ask your provider for guidance.

Do not use Progent cleaner with this case.

The Progent case accommodates lenses between 11mm and 23mm diameter.

As a matter of safety, this case should never be used with hydrogen peroxide cleaning systems (Clear Care). H2O2 requires a vented case.
