Rub, Then Lights Out

It’s a loose term, but “miracle” applies to — of all things — contact solution. Yeah, I said it. It’s a miracle — especially the no-rub business. You just squirt your lenses, cap them, and off you go to slumber land. In terms of the contact care world, the no-rub has been like a revolution. It plays perfectly to our inherent American aversion to time-consuming tasks.

This, of course, runs in the face of most eye care people. They recommend you rub anyway. This is like driving a hybrid that still needs gas to get going. You want to make the complete conversion, but you still have to cave in and do the same old thing. It’s not as bad as all that, but it still is a hassle. The bottle says no-rub.

That’s not to say every no-rub can cut the proverbial mustard. Some have higher concentrations of acid — yeah, you heard me right — than others. How else do you think contact solutions dissolve the protein and pathogens that build up on those flimsy little discs? We’re not talking about hardcore sulfuric acid — this is the light stuff, the stuff that takes hours to break down other stuff.

In an ideal world you’d never have to clean your lenses. You’d just put them on, and be on with your day. And when night fell and Mr. Sandman was lulling you to sleep you wouldn’t think twice about closing your eyes and dreaming away. Cue the record scratch and camera flash. The reality is you can’t sleep with your lenses in.

If you’ve ever had the groovy sensation of peeling mucus-encrusted lenses from your red eyeballs, it’ll change the way you groove on contact solution. What’s a little rub? At least you don’t have to stand around for a half-hour crushing your lenses between your thumb and index finger. With the no-rub stuff, you can at least keep the rubbing to a minimum and get on with getting on.

To rub or not to rub, that is the contact lens solution question. I can see what the bottle says, but do it a little. A little rubbing never hurt.
