Ophtecs Cleadew provides specialised care systems designed for cleaning, disinfecting, neutralising, and storing all types of contact lenses, including rigid gas permeable (RGP), Ortho-K, and soft contact lenses. Their formulations target protein buildup, lipids, and harmful microorganisms.

Povidone-iodine offers superior broad-spectrum antimicrobial action, rapidly achieving high log reductions (up to 4 to 6 log kills) against bacteria, fungi, viruses, and tough pathogens like Acanthamoeba within just 5 minutes. After the active disinfection cycle, a neutralising agent is introduced to complete the process, clearing the solution so lenses can be safely rinsed with saline and worn.

Soft contact lenses are prone to absorbing proteins, lipids, and environmental allergens from tears. Using Ophtecs Cleadew for Soft, which is suitable for all types of soft contact lenses, ensures thorough protein removal and antimicrobial disinfection, keeping your lenses comfortable, clear, and safe for daily wear.

Yes, Ophtecs Cleadew GP is engineered to be fully compatible with all types of rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses, including orthokeratology lenses like Euclid. It cleans effectively without altering the precise parameters or warping the micro-geometry of custom-designed lenses.

Contact lens cases should be cleaned daily using fresh solution or saline (never tap water) and left open to air-dry upside down. To prevent biofilm accumulation and potential eye infections, lens cases should be replaced every time a new bottle of solution is opened, or at a maximum of every 90 days.

The solution is orange because of the povidone-iodine, which shows that active disinfection is still going on. A neutralising tablet is needed to complete the process and clear the colour. You must wait for the full 4-hour cycle to finish so the solution neutralises properly before you take the lenses out, rinse them with saline before wearing.

If you experience stinging, redness, or discomfort immediately after lens insertion, remove the lenses at once. Rinse your eyes with sterile saline and check whether the disinfectant was fully neutralized. Consult your optometrist if irritation persists.

It is generally recommended to stick to a cohesive care regimen prescribed by your eye care professional. Mixing chemical components from different brands can alter the disinfection efficacy or cause adverse chemical reactions on the lens surface.

Clinical research demonstrates that the daily use of the Ophtecs Cleadew system provides cleaning and disinfecting efficacy that is not significantly different from intensive weekly protein removal systems. By integrating an advanced anionic surfactant and a proteolytic enzyme tablet, this all-in-one approach achieves powerful antimicrobial action and thorough deposit removal without increasing adverse ocular symptoms.

Ophtecs Cleadew offers superior, broad-spectrum disinfection that outperforms both standard multi-purpose solutions (MPS) and hydrogen peroxide systems against stubborn microbes. Unlike conventional MPS, which rely on chemical preservatives that can cause irritation, Cleadew features low cytotoxicity to protect sensitive corneal cells while eliminating harsh chemical residue. Additionally, its built-in enzymatic action actively strips away tough protein and lipid deposits that standard MPS and peroxide systems often miss, making it the most effective all-in-one care system on the market.
