Tangible Science Launches Tangible Clean Multi-Purpose Solution for Tangible Hydra-PEG Coated Lenses

Tangible Science launched a multi-purpose cleaning solution for Tangible Hydra-PEG coated lenses – Tangible Clean. The solution simplifies care for coated gas permeable (GP) lenses and can be used for cleaning, conditioning, disinfecting, protein removal, rinsing and storing them safely. Tangible Clean is thinner than most other GP lens care solutions and rinses off easily, potentially avoiding eye sensitivity and fogging that can occur when solution remains on lenses upon insertion.

“Ensuring that contact lens patients comply with prescribed care has always been challenging for practitioners,” Andrew J. Biondo, OD, FSLS, a leading optometrist with Kirkwood Eye Associates in Kirkwood, Missouri, said in a company news release. “Compliance is especially important with coated lenses, which can be damaged by the wrong cleaner or conditioner. Having Tangible Clean available will ensure the cleaning regimen for patients with coated lenses is clear, simple and effective.”

Tangible Hydra-PEG is the only commercially available surface coating for GP lenses and requires compatible cleaning solution that will not damage the coating, which may be different from solutions used for ordinary GP lenses.

Tangible Clean has been cleared by the FDA for daily cleaning and disinfection for any gas permeable contact lens, in addition to coated lenses, and is available to patients online via a subscription program at www.tangiblescience.com.
