PROSE case alternative disinfection protocolUpdated 2 years ago

FEBRUARY 2019 - The instructions below were provided by BostonSight for PROSE device users who do not have a PROSE case available at this time due to the manufacturer backorder, and we are posting them here as a courtesy. Please make sure to consult your lens provider about any changes to your device care. 

UPDATE APRIL 2023 - Because of the ongoing Clear Care shortages, we have heard of many similar alternative hydrogen peroxide protocols, but typically with fewer steps - for example, rinse, soak once in a screw top contact lens case filled with preservative free saline, rinse, fill and apply. Again, please contact your lens provider for approval of any change to your device/lens care routine.

Interim Cleaning Protocol for PROSE devices

Items needed:

• 3 white screw top contact lens cases
• Optimum Lobob ESC or Unique pH
• PuriLens Plus solution or 0.9% sodium chloride
• Clear Care or Brown bottle 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
• Clean PROSE device with one drop Optimum ESC or Unique pH or Boston Simplus (if Hydra-PEG device) per side and rub for 15 seconds. Rinse with PuriLens Plus solution or 0.9% sodium chloride.
• Soak in white lens storage case number 1 filled with Clear Care or 3% brown bottle H2O2 overnight.
• In the morning (or after 6 hours), remove from case # 1, rinse with PuriLens Plus solution or 0.9% sodium chloride and soak in lens case # 2 filled with PuriLens Plus solution or 0.9% sodium chloride for 5 minutes
• Remove from case # 2, rinse again with PuriLens Plus solution or 0.9% sodium chloride and soak in lens case #3 PuriLens Plus solution or 0.9% sodium chloride for 5 additional minutes
