| The Products Used for Sensitive Eyes | Protein is usually removed from your contact lenses every week with enzymatic cleaner. The tablets with saline solution or disinfecting solution that is multipurpose or hydrogen peroxide can also be applied for the purpose.
The procedure of applying enzymatic cleaner should be preceded with cleaning and rinsing your contacts with other products. You should add solution to your lens case or vials according to the recommendations, then  you should put an enzymatic tablet in each lens well or vial and as soon as the tablets dissolve, put your lenses into the lenses case. 15 minutes afterwards you should disinfect the lenses with another product if such necessity arises. Some enzymatic cleaners are better for disinfection comparing with saline.
Protein can also be removed with daily protein remover; that is available in liquid form and can be applied every day. It can also be applied while disinfecting with multipurpose solution.
The procedure of protein removal with a daily protein remover should be preceded with cleaning and rinsing your lenses with other products. Lenses should be covered with multipurpose solution; then you should put a drop of daily protein remover to each well of your lens case.
In the case of dry eyes the lenses can be re-wet with lubricating drops. You should always buy a brand that has proved its safety for contact lenses. If you use eyedrops that cannot be used for contact lenses, your vision can be changed for some time; the change of the lenses’ color can also be available.
If you belong to people, who suffer from allergy to contact lens solutions, you should apply products for sensitive eyes. The allergy is possible if you apply the same products for many years. The symptoms of allergy are itching, tearing, foreign body sensation, burning, redness and discharge. Brands that apply
a preservative known as thimerosal cannot be bought by people with sensitive eyes. It is better to purchase thimerosal-free saline with the description "for sensitive eyes."
Other preservatives can also be the causes of allergy, that’s why it is recommended to apply preservative-free care products. Some products such as hydrogen peroxide have a "disappearing" preservative that disappears as soon as the solution begins to contact with your eyes. Non-aerosol preservative-free saline can be used for about a fortnight after its opening.
