ADVANCED CARE SYSTEM FOR ALL Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) CONTACT LENSES

Povidone-iodine based disinfectant for RGP lenses

Povidone iodine is included in the product.

“Povidone iodine” is a very safe disinfectant which is widely used in eye drops and disinfectants for ophthalmic operations.

One-step, speedy care for daily routine

Simple procedure

Simple care requires only setting the contact lenses in the storage case and putting a neutralization tablet and liquid agent in the case. Visual check of completed disinfectio promotes correct and easy daily care performance for everyone.

Available for all RGP lenses

Available also for orthokeratology lenses

cleadew GP can be used safely because the compatibility test for orthokeratology lenses* has been conducted.

* For lenses approved and sold in Japan domestic market

Usage

Wash your hands well with mild soap before handling your contact lenses.

1.DISINFECTING, CLEANING AND NEUTRALIZING

cleadewgp_4back

• Place the lenses into the case’s lens holders.
• Close the case lid on one side, put a neutralizing tablet in, and fill up to 90% of the case with the orange disinfecting and cleaning solution.
• Close the lid on the other side tightly.
• Soak the lenses for over four hours (or overnight).
• Confirm that the lenses and the solution are clear before wearing them.

2.RINSING LENS

• Open the lid on one side and discard the solution in the lens case.
• Fill the case with saline solution up to 60% of the case’s capacity and
close the lid tightly.
• Shake the case to rinse the lenses well.
• Discard the saline solution in the case and rinse the lenses again
in the same way.

3.WEARING LENS

Remove the lenses from the holders and wear them.

4.WASHING LENS CASE

After the care of the lenses is completed, wash the lens case with saline solution and allow it to air dry.

* If a neutralization tablet is not put in the case,
the contact lenses might become discolored.
* Be sure to use a cross type case.

For long-term storage of contact lens (one week or longer).

Care for contact lenses using cleadew GP according to usage, and store the case at room temperature with the lid closed. Rinse the contact lenses thoroughly with rinsing solution while in the case before wearing them.

* Avoid storage of contact lenses in the storage case containing only liquid agent for cleadew GP. * If contact lenses are to be stored for a month or more, care for them at least once a month using cleadew GP.

For severely deposited contact lens

As the deposition level of contact lenses varies for every wearer, deposits cannot be completely removed in some cases. If deposition is severe, use the protein and lipid deposits removing agent separately.

* After such care agents have been used, rinse the contact lenses thoroughly with rinsing solution to wash these agents completely off the lenses. If the ingredients of the care agents remain on the lenses, the disinfecting effect and cleaning effect of this product may be reduced, or characteristics of the lenses may be changed.

After use, wash the lens case thoroughly with rinsing solution, and let the lid and the body of the case dry naturally and separately.

Lens case

Be sure to use the cross type lens case in which a neutralization tablet can be retained at the center. Avoid using the separate type lens case with a partition (double-cell structure) or the full penetration type lens case in which a neutralization tablet cannot be retained.

For orthokeratology lenses, please use cleadew GP with their specified lens cases.

Why is “Disinfection”required for RGP lenses?

Even users of hard contact lenses can develop infections.

In recent years, infections in users of contact lenses have been acknowledged as a problem, and even people wearing hard contact lenses are known to develop infections. As for hard contact lenses, however, disinfection is not required and use of tap water is also permitted.

Contact lenses used by patients with corneal infection

Infective keratitis national surveillance study group: National surveillance of infective keratitis – Bacterial isolate / patient background / current state of treatment – Journal of Japanese Ophthalmological Society: 110:961-972.2006

Possibilities of infection caused by contamination of lens case

The lens case for RGP lenses is apt to be used for a long time, and the shape may be complicated. Hence, bacteria in the case feed on contaminants such as protein deposits and thus proliferate. In addition, bacteria adhering to the case are disinfectant resistant, and may transfer to contact lenses, causing ocular infections.
