Abbott Medical Optics (AMO) - RevitaLens OcuTec Solution

Product Review

As a contact lens wearer for about 20 years, finally I have a chance to do a product review on something that has been part of my life for so long. I first heard of AMO products when I was a Logistics Manager with one of the largest optical retail chain in Singapore. In fact it was one of the best selling products I have handled. So thrilled to be using the product again and also to do a review about it, thanks to omy’s invitation.

There were 2 products for us to choose from
(1) RevitaLens OcuTec Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution
(2) Complete Multi-Purpose Solution Easy Rub Formula

If your needs are like mine
(1) Looking for a solution that requires less rubbing time
(2) Wearing high-oxygen permeable soft lenses
(3) Wear your contact lenses for a long time, 12 hours or more

Then you are at the right page!! The solution for you is RevitaLens OcuTec!!

If you are the manual-type user, here is the factsheet
- RevitaLens OcuTec uses the state-of-the-art technology to maximise protection of corneal integrity.
- RevitaLens OcuTec is highly effective against broad spectrum ocular pathogens in the environment with 99.99% efficacy and hard-to-eliminate Acanthamoeba cysts and Fusarium.
- RevitaLens OcuTec sustains high antimicrobial activity in lens case over time.
- OcuTec Activity reduces solution toxicity to cornea and hence minimize hypersensitivity responses.
- RevitaLens OcuTec greatly reduces stinging sensations during lens insertion, fewer complications including eye redness during contact lens wear and offers excellent lens wearing comfort over time.
- RevitaLens OcuTec is highly compatible with new generation oxygen permeable silicone hydrogel lenses and conventional soft lenses.

Before I end, here are some tips for healthy lens wear. A gentle reminder of the importance of knowing and practicing the correct contact lenses care.

RUB, RINSE & SOAK
(A) When removing lenses
1. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before handling your soft contact lenses.
2. Place 3 or more drops of RevitaLens OcuTec solution on one side of the lens surface.

3. RUB your lens gently from the centre to the edge for at least 2-4 seconds. (never rub in a circular motion, because it may tear the lens and not clean the outer edge surface)
4. Turn the lens over and repeat steps 2 and 3.
5. RINSE each side of the lens for 5 seconds with fresh RevitaLens OcuTec solution. Place lenses in the cleans and correct chambers of lens case and fill with solution. Close lens case tightly.

6. SOAK – allow lenses to soak a minimum of 6 hours for disinfection, cleaning, protein and lipid removal and conditioning.

(B) When inserting lenses
1. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before handling your soft contact lenses.
2. Prior to reapplying lenses, RINSE each side of the lens for 5 seconds with fresh RevitaLens OcuTec solution to remove any debris on the lens.

3. RINSE the lens case with RevitaLens OcuTec solution and leave to air dry.
