What Is the Best Contact Lens Solution for Soft Lenses?
If you wear soft contact lenses, keeping them clean is not just about comfort — it is about protecting your eye health. Deposits of protein, lipids, and environmental debris build up on lens surfaces throughout the day, and without proper cleaning, these can cause irritation, infection, or reduced vision clarity. The contact lens solution you choose matters more than most people realise. Vizulize Advanced Multi-Purpose Contact Lens Solution 360ml offers a convenient, all-in-one approach to lens care, combining cleaning, rinsing, disinfecting, and storage in a single bottle. You can explore the full range of eye care products at Cured Pharmacy to find everything you need for daily lens hygiene.
At just £6.99 for a generous 360ml bottle, this solution is a practical everyday choice for contact lens wearers who want reliable lens care without complexity. It is suitable for use with most soft contact lenses, including daily wear and extended wear varieties, and is designed to be gentle on sensitive eyes while still providing effective disinfection.
How Does Vizulize Multi-Purpose Lens Solution Work?
The solution works through a dual-action formula that targets both microbial contamination and physical debris on the lens surface. Here is how it functions step by step:
- Cleaning: Poloxamer 407, a non-ionic surfactant, loosens and lifts protein deposits, lipids, and mucin from the lens surface during the rub-and-rinse step.
- Disinfection: Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) acts as the antimicrobial agent, disrupting the cell membranes of bacteria and other micro-organisms to reduce the risk of eye infection.
- Rinsing: Fresh solution flushes away loosened debris and residual cleaning agents before lens insertion.
- Storage: Lenses soaked in the solution overnight are kept hydrated and free from microbial growth until they are ready to wear.
This multi-step action in a single product simplifies your lens care routine considerably, reducing the number of separate products you need to manage.
Who Should Use Vizulize Advanced Multi-Purpose Solution?
This solution is designed for adults and young people who wear soft contact lenses on a daily or extended-wear basis. It is particularly well suited to those who want a straightforward, no-fuss lens care routine. That said, it is not appropriate for everyone.
- Adults wearing soft hydrogel or silicone hydrogel contact lenses
- People looking for a single solution to clean, rinse, disinfect, and store lenses
- Those with mild lens-related discomfort caused by deposit build-up
- Contact lens wearers who travel frequently and need a compact, versatile solution
It is not suitable for use with rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses or hard lenses. If you are unsure whether this product is right for your lens type, speak to your optician before use.
How Does Vizulize Compare to Other Multi-Purpose Solutions?
| Feature | Vizulize Advanced 360ml | Typical Alternative (e.g. Renu) |
|---|---|---|
| Volume | 360ml | 360ml (varies by brand) |
| Disinfectant agent | PHMB | Polyquaternium-1 or PHMB |
| Suitable for soft lenses | Yes | Yes |
| Price (approx.) | £6.99 | £7.00–£10.00 |
Is Vizulize Contact Lens Solution Safe to Store and Use Long-Term?
Once opened, the bottle should be used within 90 days. Always replace the lens case every one to three months, as cases can harbour bacteria even when cleaned regularly — the NHS advises that poor lens case hygiene is a significant risk factor for eye infections. Store the bottle below 25°C, away from direct sunlight, and keep the cap tightly closed when not in use. Never top up old solution in the lens case with fresh solution; always discard used solution and refill with fresh contact lens solution each time.

What Is Vizulize Advanced Multi-Purpose Solution and What Is It Used For?
Vizulize Advanced Multi-Purpose Contact Lens Solution 360ml is an all-in-one lens care solution designed for use with soft contact lenses. It is used to clean, rinse, disinfect, and store soft lenses as part of a daily lens hygiene routine. The NHS recommends that contact lens wearers follow a strict cleaning regimen to reduce the risk of eye infections, some of which — such as Acanthamoeba keratitis — can be serious and sight-threatening if left untreated. Using a reliable contact lens solution every day is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your eye health.
This product is not a medicine in the traditional sense but is classified as a medical device in the UK. It is available over the counter without a prescription and is intended for adults and older children under adult supervision who wear soft contact lenses.
What Do You Need to Know Before Using Vizulize Multi-Purpose Solution?
Before using this solution, read the following contraindications and warnings carefully:
- Do not use with rigid gas-permeable (RGP) or hard contact lenses — this solution is formulated for soft lenses only.
- Do not use if you are allergic to PHMB, Poloxamer 407, or any other listed ingredient.
- Do not instil directly into the eye — this is not an eye drop product.
- Do not use if the solution appears cloudy or discoloured.
- Stop use and consult your optician or GP if you experience persistent eye redness, pain, discharge, or sudden changes in vision.
- Do not use beyond the 90-day period after opening, even if solution remains in the bottle.

- If you use any prescription eye drops or ointments, seek advice from your pharmacist or optician before continuing lens wear.

Always wash and dry your hands thoroughly before handling contact lenses. Follow these steps each time you clean your lenses:
- Place the lens in the palm of your clean hand.
- Apply 3–5 drops of Vizulize solution to the lens surface.
- Rub the lens gently with your fingertip in a back-and-forth motion for approximately 20 seconds — even if the solution is labelled "no-rub", rubbing is recommended by opticians for more thorough cleaning.
- Rinse the lens thoroughly with fresh solution for at least 5 seconds on each side.
- Place the lens into a clean lens case and fill with fresh solution until the lens is fully submerged.
- Soak for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight, before wearing.
- Before inserting the lens, rinse once more with fresh solution.
- Discard used solution from the case, rinse the case with fresh solution (not tap water), and leave to air dry face-down on a clean tissue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy Vizulize Advanced Multi-Purpose Contact Lens Solution online in the UK?
You can buy Vizulize Advanced Multi-Purpose Contact Lens Solution 360ml directly from Cured Pharmacy online for £6.99, with fast UK delivery to your door. It is available without a prescription as an over-the-counter product. Browse our full eye care collection for additional lens care and eye health products.
How does Vizulize Multi-Purpose Contact Lens Solution work in the eye?
Vizulize uses PHMB (polyhexamethylene biguanide) as its antimicrobial agent to kill bacteria and other micro-organisms on the lens surface, while Poloxamer 407 acts as a surfactant to lift and remove protein and lipid deposits. The solution does not work inside the eye itself — it works on the lens surface during the cleaning and soaking process. Always rinse lenses thoroughly with fresh solution before inserting them to remove any residual cleaning agents.
Is Vizulize contact lens solution suitable for silicone hydrogel lenses?
Yes, Vizulize Advanced Multi-Purpose Contact Lens Solution is compatible with soft contact lenses including silicone hydrogel lenses, which are among the most commonly prescribed lens types in the UK. If you are unsure whether your specific lens brand is compatible, check with your optician before use. It is not suitable for rigid gas-permeable or hard lenses.
How do I use Vizulize Multi-Purpose Contact Lens Solution step by step?
Wash and dry your hands, then place the lens in your palm and apply 3–5 drops of solution. Rub gently for 20 seconds, rinse with fresh solution, then place in a clean case filled with fresh solution and soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. Rinse once more before inserting the lens, and always discard used solution from the case — never top it up.
Can I use Vizulize contact lens solution as eye drops?
No — Vizulize Advanced Multi-Purpose Contact Lens Solution is not formulated for direct instillation into the eye and should never be used as eye drops. It is intended solely for cleaning, rinsing, disinfecting, and storing soft contact lenses. If you need lubricating eye drops or treatment for dry eyes, speak to your pharmacist about suitable alternatives.
What are the side effects of Vizulize Multi-Purpose Contact Lens Solution?
Most people tolerate this solution well, but some may experience mild eye irritation, temporary stinging on lens insertion, or mild redness if the lens has not been rinsed thoroughly. Less commonly, people sensitive to PHMB may develop itching or eyelid swelling. If you experience persistent discomfort, pain, or vision changes, remove your lenses and seek advice from your optician or GP promptly.
How long can I use Vizulize contact lens solution once the bottle is opened?
Once opened, Vizulize Advanced Multi-Purpose Contact Lens Solution should be used within 90 days, regardless of how much solution remains in the bottle. Writing the opening date on the label is a helpful reminder. Using solution beyond this period risks reduced disinfection efficacy and potential contamination.
Do I still need to rub my lenses if the solution says "no-rub"?
Yes — even when a multi-purpose solution is marketed as no-rub, opticians and clinical guidelines consistently recommend the rub-and-rinse method for more effective removal of protein deposits and micro-organisms. Rubbing for approximately 20 seconds significantly improves cleaning outcomes compared to rinsing alone. The NHS advises following your optician's specific instructions for your lens type.
Who is eligible to use Vizulize Advanced Multi-Purpose Contact Lens Solution?
This solution is suitable for adults and older children under adult supervision who wear soft contact lenses. It is not appropriate for people with known hypersensitivity to PHMB or Poloxamer 407, or for those wearing RGP or hard lenses. If you have a history of recurrent eye infections or severe dry eye, consult your optician before use.
What happens if I accidentally get Vizulize contact lens solution in my eye?
If solution accidentally enters the eye, rinse immediately and thoroughly with clean, lukewarm water. Mild, brief stinging may occur but should resolve quickly. If irritation, redness, or discomfort persists after rinsing, seek advice from a pharmacist, optician, or GP. Do not rub your eye, as this can worsen irritation.
How should I store Vizulize Multi-Purpose Contact Lens Solution?
Store the bottle below 25°C in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight — avoid bathrooms where humidity can fluctuate. Keep the cap tightly closed between uses and never touch the bottle tip to any surface to prevent contamination. Do not freeze the solution, and always check the expiry date before use.
What are alternatives to Vizulize Multi-Purpose Contact Lens Solution?
Common alternatives available in the UK include Biotrue Multi-Purpose Solution, Opti-Free Puremoist, and Renu Multi-Purpose Solution, each using slightly different preservative and surfactant systems. Your optician is best placed to recommend the most compatible solution for your specific lens material and eye sensitivity. Some people with preservative sensitivity may be advised to use hydrogen peroxide-based systems such as AOSEPT instead.
Can I use Vizulize contact lens solution if I have dry eyes?
People with dry eye syndrome can sometimes experience increased sensitivity to preservatives such as PHMB, which may worsen discomfort. If you have dry eyes and find that your lenses feel uncomfortable after using this solution, speak to your optician — they may recommend a preservative-free system or a solution with added lubricating agents. You can also explore our eye care range for lubricating eye drops that may help alongside lens wear.
How long does a 360ml bottle of Vizulize contact lens solution last?
For a single lens wearer cleaning and storing one pair of lenses daily, a 360ml bottle typically lasts approximately 4–6 weeks depending on how much solution is used per cleaning cycle. However, the bottle must be discarded 90 days after opening regardless of remaining volume. Buying in advance is fine as long as the sealed expiry date has not passed.
Is there any research supporting the use of PHMB in contact lens solutions?
Yes — PHMB (polyhexamethylene biguanide) is a well-established antimicrobial agent used in contact lens solutions and wound care products, with a substantial body of published literature supporting its efficacy against a broad spectrum of bacteria and some protozoa including Acanthamoeba. It has been used in ophthalmic applications for several decades and is considered safe at the concentrations used in lens care products when used as directed. Your optician or pharmacist can provide further guidance on its suitability for your individual circumstances.
