Description (by Rebecca)

We originally added Unique pH to The Dry Eye Shop's scleral lens care products specifically because of its compatibility with the new Hydra-PEG coating. For optimal performance of scleral lenses it's generally accepted that digital (i.e. rub) cleaning on a daily basis is necessary, not just overnight disinfection. However, Lobob ESC, the gold standard "rub" cleaner for scleral lenses, is not compatible with Hydra-PEG (a relatively new lens coating that improves lens wettability).

Unique pH is a multi-purpose solution that is approved by the Hydra-PEG makers for their coating, and it can be used for both rub cleaning and overnight soaking. At this point it's quite popular for daily disinfection of sclerals.

I will always stick with hydrogen peroxide (Clear Care) as the best way to disinfect overnight. But I find Unique pH very handy for travel - traveling with peroxide is just not practical. So I tend to use it often when I'm on the road. It's a very good product.

SAFETY NOTE: As with ALL multi-purpose solutions, DO NOT put this solution in the 'bowl' of your scleral lens. It is strictly for cleaning and disinfection, not filling.

Description (from the manufacturer's literature)

A multi-purpose solution for gas permeable contact lenses
Cleans, conditions, and disinfects in one bottle
Provides customized lens wear, comfort-based on individual tear pH
Novel formula adjusts solution characteristics for lens care

Unique pH ® is a highly effective and well-respected multipurpose solution for gas permeable contact lenses.

Soaking your gas permeable contact lenses in Unique pH ® removes dirt, protein and debris. No separate daily cleaner is required.

This solution conditions lenses by adjusting to the eye's natural tear pH to enhance the wettability and comfort of gas permeable contact lenses on insertion. This formula is designed to provide a soothing effect during lens wear.

The solution disinfects lenses using antimicrobial agents, which destroy harmful microorganisms (germs), commonly found on the surfaces of lenses.

Unique pH ® Solution may also be used to dilute a daily protein remover for simultaneous enzymatic cleaning during conditioning.

Travel-friendly bottle size for carry-on convenience. Unique pH ® is available in a convenient travel size designed to meet TSA guidelines for carrying liquids on board an aircraft. The Unique pH ® Travel Pack contains a 2.5 fluid ounce (75 mL) bottle of Unique pH ® and a lens case.
