Rebecca's synopsis & notes

This is a repeat of a survey we conducted in 2018. Last time around, we had 430 participants, so it's very similar.

Clearly, the need to remove/rinse/refill remains a significant issue for the community, with only about 1/3 of participants saying that it is not a problem for them. While the overall percentage of people reporting these issues was slightly lower, this time around more people reported issues with mucous or discomfort and more people are cleaning (not just rinsing) their lenses before putting them back in.

Here's some resources for those of you reading this who are looking for solutions. I've also responded to a few people in-line

Scan through this troubleshooting guide for ideas to discuss with your provider
Register for a session of Dry Eye Foundation's Scleral Lens Zoom group to discuss with others. We meet most Thursdays at 5pm Pacific time.
For the seriously "heavy depositors", here is just ONE tiny tip among many but I find not very many people know about it: The Squeegee Trick. Pour a llittle saline over a new/clean all-cotton Q-tip and gently wipe the top surface of the lens. (Yes, clear this with your lens provider by all means - I am sharing because it's increasingly common practice, like the Celluvisc trick.) For some of us the Squeegee helps cut down on frequency of remove/rinse/re-insert.

Results

Question #1: Do you have to remove, rinse, refill and re-insert your lenses during the day?

Question #2: (For those who do) What is the most common reason why you might need to remove and re-insert your lenses?

Question #3: Do you rinse and refill only, or do you also use a cleaning solution?

Question #4: Is this issue a problem for you? (Scale of 0 to 5)

5/5: 11.2%
4/5: 10.7%

Comments from participants

More annoying than anything, but it is so rare, it doesn’t interfere with day to day life
I don't take them out. I do add some lubricator like refresh. The lenses feel very dry on my eyelids after about 6 hours. My eyeballs are happy, though.
I take out and insert 10 times a day. Some days are worse than others
Generally only when I want to wear them well into the evening for social reasons.
new to the lenses , but so far, i get 12-18 hrs out of a install
This typically only happens late in the evening after wearing them all day. If I refresh them earlier in the day before they fog, they generally will not fog at night.
Thankful for scleral lens
I am in dire need of a good daily deposit cleaner. Any good ones available ? I need more than using Clear Care that I use daily & I use Progent every two weeks. Unfortunately this is a real problem area. With all the manufacturing quality problems going on we're nervous about recommending any from companies whose inspection records are not publicly available.
Sometimes I remove my lens several times when first inserting it due to 'gunk' on the lens or a bubble. Clean it after each removal and start again. Sometimes the lens isn't seated quite right and it has to be removed, cleaned and re-inserted.
I wouldn’t call it a problem at all.
It’s a problem for me during spring and fall allergy seasons. When the season begins, I take Pataday once daily at night and I’m fine for the duration of the season - once winter or summer is in full swing I can stop the drops and am fine until the next season.
My lenses are about a year and a half old (about a year that I've been able to get them in and wear consistently) and I need new ones. Originally I could wear them for 14 hours no problem. Now after several hours (maybe about 5, give or take?) they start to be uncomfortable. The length of time also depends on what I'm doing and if I'm wearing eye makeup. I tend to just deal with it or not wear them at all rather than take out and refill, but I know if I keep these lenses any longer I will have to get used to mid day refilling. I have a new lens appointment in a couple weeks.
I answered "Rinse and refill", but the solution I use to rinse is also my overnight cleansing solution (Tangible Clean) so technically I suppose I am cleaning too - just not SOAKING the lenses. I hope I understood the question! Sorry for the confusion - I should have been more specific. By cleaning I meant rubbing them with a cleaner.
Note, the quality of the products (or incorrect products)- that are used to fill the scleral also interfere with how often they need to be removed, cleaned, and refilled. Some people have bypassed buying separate products for different uses and have used soft lens contact solution for refilling and cleansing instead. Yikes - filling with a preserved solution is a no-no
Still getting adjusted to my lens but like it so far
I started using Celluvisc, which helped reduce the amount of RRR times. For those not familiar with this, it means adding some Refresh Celluvisc to the saline in the bowl of the lens, a common practice to help prevent fogging/debris.
I often wear my soft lenses because I don’t like the hassle.
Although I report this never happens, it does occur rarely - maybe once in three months or so due to fogging or gunk - prompting removal, cleaning, rinse, and refill .
It mostly will happen if I wore them too long the previous day or if I fell asleep with them in.
It’s a bother but I deal with it. I have gotten really good at cleaning with one hand and i always have solution to use either in my purse, or backpack. As I have gotten older, I have noticed that it is more frequent in the summer months than winter. It was just last week actually that I tore a lens in half in my eye because I had rubbed it too hard in my eye! I have been wearing lenses for over 40 years! I think that you must be wearing soft contacts. Sorry if it wasn't clear but this survey is for scleral lens users.
I used to rinse and refill almost daily. Once I switched to 1/2 OTC eye drops and 1/2 Purilens- it’s way more infrequent having to take them out and rinse/refill. Thanks for the advice!!
It's a pain to have to do this every afternoon and plan my day around the activity!
As my lens get older I notice it more. It usually starts out like cleaning at 12 hours and when it gets down to 6 it is time for new lenses. I wear them 16 hours a day so usually every 9 months replacement. Clear Care does help in keeping them comfortable during the day
if LoBob would come back, the issue listed above would be much less frequent Sigh, yes!!!
It's harder to do this when away from home and in public restrooms.
Every day is a new day. I try something different every night with cleaning--Boston, Tangible, Unique Ph--to not having fogging the next day. When I insert for the first time and rinse and re-insert--I try something different each time--3 drops celluvisc, 5 drops celluvisc, 3 drops serum, 5 drops serum, Mega 3 used, next time not used.
Cornea health after transplant is why I remove and refill.
I have no choice but to wear Scleral lenses which have been ok. But I have been noticing that I'm a heavy protein depositor so I've been having to take out lenses midday, clean, rinse and refill. It's not convenient as I'm a social worker who is not always in an office but I've come to just accept it.
I removed my lenses at night to soak them and clean them and put in my daily eye medications.
I remove for a mid-day break and reapply once per day based on my doctor's recommendation. It can be challenging, especially when traveling, but I have learned how to manage it by planning ahead and being prepared.
It depends on my allergies on how many times I have to rinse/refill. I have weeping issues and my eyelid area skin gets rashy if too much tears escape from my eyes. One eye is more dry than the other, so sometimes I only have to rinse/refill that one if the environment is too dry.
I experience cycles of eye mucus and/or dryness. Sometimes the environment causes lenses to need cleaning.
Thanks for doing the survey, I learned a lot from reading comments from the previous. I am 4 mos using sclerals (gvhd) and still figuring out what works. I do, sometimes, get clouding and remove/rinse both-sometimes cleaning with Simplus. Sometimes, one lens will get squirrely and need to come out (then, I'll do the other so they feel "even"). I can do 12-14 hrs/day (with Systane Hydration, less with Refresh Plus). Beats not being able to open me eyes for longer than 15 seconds-grittiness.
I have only been wearing scleral lenses for one month
This happened a few times 2 years ago in the mornings immediately after putting them in. They would fog up after a few seconds and I would have to remove, clean, and re insert once or twice I think it may have been due to a special immunotherapy treatment that I was going through.
Maybe once every two weeks I have to remove and clean my lenses.
Getting Hydrapeg and using Tangible Boost seems to have really helped the fogging and buildup problem.
My biggest frustration is having safe AVAILABLE products to use. Especially cleaning solutions! Big sigh - yes!
I have one lens due to damaged cornea. I sometimes have to reinsert the lens to get better comfort if it does not fit just correctly on first try. Issue is the damage in the cornea.
I only remove, rinse really well and reinsert when the very occasional piece of tiny lint or fuzz feels like there’s something trapped between the lens & the outer rim.
I remove my lens because of build up of "gunk" but also to put in prescription eye drops.
This issue is worse on humid days. Sometimes I have to refill them every 10 minutes.
Well worth the trouble-avoids discomfort. Whether I need to do it depends a lot on environment, dryness and windy conditions (outdoors or from fans or excessive indoor heat) increase chances I choose to do it).
I feel a lot depends on the weather. Hot & humid days seem to be an issue, however it was with my RGP's prior to Sclerals too. Also a lot of screen time does it to me. I think I blink less when staring at a screen at work. LOL.
I'm confused about the questions as not sure what products you consider "cleaning". I rinse my lense off with saline and put fresh PH Unique in my lense case every night. I also gently rub the lense w PH then rinse w/ saline before putting away. I also rinse my case w/ saline every day after I have put on my lenses. Sorry for the confusion. This is only in reference to midday removal/re-insertion, and my question meant whether you only rinse prior to re-insertion or also "rub" clean them with a multi-purpose or cleaning solution.
It's annoying for sure when you have to take them out, clean them to remove the "gunk" or fog then reinsert them. I have to carry a scleral lens kit (plungers, lens filler and cleaner) at all times, as well as a second pair of glasses in case I need to keep my lenses out.
Please help me eliminate this! Work 12 hours and this is an inconvenience See resources above
Reasons I remove is fogging, dryness, and accumulation
Sometimes I will take out and refill when my eyes feel very dry (which is just about every day by afternoon), but since it really doesn't solve the problem it's not worth it.
I do have issues but I love my lenses, and it is better than the pain from dry eye gunk on your eyes instead of your lens
99% of the time is due to the fact I dozed off/napped and afterwards, sometimes up to about an hour afterwards, had to clear up/clean my lenses to be able to clearly see once again.
My work has been affected because I have to remove, clean, rinse and reinsert my scleral lenses sometimes 3 times/day.
For going out daily, I carry addipaks in my pocket and the plunger on my keychain. I don’t leave home without them. I also try to remember to bring a case to put my lenses in when my eyes need a rest.
It was hard when the lenses were new. I recently had to replace one and the new lens took a while to get comfortable. Once it does, the problem is very uncommon. Interesting - that's the reverse of what others experience
Using tangible science solutions with peg coatings on lens has helped tremendously.
The unexplained “trial and error” format to fit this scleral lens client is frustrating because after 3-4 trials my experience was you get what they give for $2,400.00 . I am plagued by fogging, mucus buildup, burning pain and dryness from MGD, & Blepharitis (anterior & posterior). The entire experience holds me back because I never know when or where I have to remove and replace the lenses and my eyes are so dry I have no options but to be a nurturer to this eye condition which has cost me plenty including my profession. I suppose I should be grateful for the scleral lens intervention but to date I’m mostly frustrated and feel the loss of a once carefree lifestyle. I have supports and I cannot begin to imagine someone going through this situation alone and for those people I pray. Continue your good work. That sounds so hard! See resources above, also feel free to call & set up a time to chat
I had to do this a lot due to fogging with my first two trial pairs, but once we got the fit right it ceased to be an issue.
The lenses blur and I'll see a smudge on them and often some white and opaque on the outside---surely mucous from the eye.
I insert lens in a.m. and remove at bedtime. I wish there was a lens that I could leave in 24 hrs. I soak lens in cleaning solution overnight, rinse in am with Purilens and insert.
The fogging issue got substantially better after my optometrist remeasured and I got lenses that are a better fit.
I remove each night and store in Unique ph. Use Puri Lens when wearing my lens.
I also take out my scleral lens for my mid-day nap.
My lenses on occasion get a goopy film. I do have dry eyes, but also allergies.
Recently changed my sclerals to not have ridges. This makes it a little harder to remove, as the suction is stronger. However, it improves the fogging issue immensely.
Love my lenses! I’ve worn all different kinds and makes during my 30 years of wearing lenses. I am sooooo very happy with my lenses.
I am limited to a narrow timeframe for achieving an optimal fit due to the funding source I must use to pay for the lenses. I have always wondered, if with more time to trial different options, I would get a better fit. For some people there can be quite a bit of trial and error till final lens. Fitter skills and technology both play a role.
Depending on how dry my eyes are and how dirty my lenses get, I have to use a daily cleaner when rinsing and refilling. I have to rinse and refill at least 4-5 times a day. It’s awful!
I’m new to scleral lenses (got my first pair of PROSE lenses in late July), so it’s possible my experience will change, but so far I haven’t had to remove and reinsert the lenses throughout the day
PIB. No matter how clean you start they always fog up later
My eye doctor has me using Lotemax sm once a day which I believe is causing the lens to fog up and produce gunk in the eye. My eyes always feel wet and teary, and the tears are kind of slippery. Lotemax is a gel and my pharmacist believes that the issue is caused by the eye drops. I will be discussing this with my doctor next week, hoping to find a solution. Good luck! I'm curious if you use it night or morning? I looked at the ingredients and don't see anything likely to produce lasting residue.
I also often do this (maybe not something to recommend to others but it works most of the time for me!) - I put a small drop of Tangible solution on my (clean) finger, and with the lens still in my eye, I rub it over the cloudy area. It almost always cleans off whatever was on the lens. If that doesn't work I take out the lens and clean it with Tangible, refill with saline and re-insert. Right - variation on the Squeegie. I think a lot of us would be too squeamish to do that with a finger but the concept is good
I should remove and reinsert my lenses more frequently than I do. But it’s a hassle. I use a lot of drops throughout the day and often wait until I can take them out for the night so that I don’t have to reinsert. By that time my eyes are seriously uncomfortable. Almost hate to admit how much I relate to this
My prose lenses are a life saver for me for 9 years now.
My scleral lenses have Hydra-PEG coating. Occasionally I’ll have some discomfort/bubble, or rarely mucous, so then I just rinse & refill my sclerals w/insertion fluid. While showering in the afternoon, I soak my sclerals in Tangible Clean, then rinse & refill w/insertion fluid.
Wear lens 12-15 hours a day and with proper insertion never a problem
This issue had been addressed with the prior set of lenses, i could go full day without problem but it deteriorated after a year. Ordered new lenses with adjustment to fit, they are lasting 12 to 14 hours but fog up in the evening. This is acceptable but ideally I would go full day without fogging
I wipe debris off lens during the day with a saline wetted qtip (while the lens is still in my eye). I only remove the lens on the rare occasions that the inside of the lens becomes gunky.
I remove when it feels like something is in my eye. I wipe the lenses in my eyes with water or a damp paper towel every 10 - 60 minutes to remove deposits so I can see.
Dryness near end of day is also a major issue. Fogging may depend on amount of serum drops used but highly variable
As my scleral lens gets older, I have to do it more often. My vision gets foggy as the day goes on.
Wear them 24/7, until there is eye discomfort due to fatigue or grit in the eye. If serious enough leave contacts out for 4 hours minimum or over night. I hope you're 'talking about soft, not scleral lenses.
I have to refill every four hours, roughly - severe MGD - overnight I soak them in a solution
Only reason I remove & reinsert lenses is if my head is submerged without swim goggles. When that occurs, I remove lenses, clean with B&L Simplus and reinsert after thoroughly rinsing. I have been swimming daily with lenses inserted for 8 years. Before going in I make sure my goggles have a good seal. Only once or twice in that time have I had a leak. Each time I have used the routine above with no subsequent issue or infection. Knock on wood, to be sure …
In our dry heat I only have to clean them during the day in the summer
I find that my lenses get foggy in large retail stores, such as Macy's. Strange, isn't it? Low humidity
I replaced the lenses, as I had not cared for them properly at first. And my doctor did some adjustments. Much less of a problem now.
Typically for air bubble or if I take a nap. Very rarely have foggy lenses
I normally try to wear my lenses no more than 9 hours a day. If I am going out in the evening or know I won't be home in my 9 hour window, I will take them out rinse and refill them then reinsert. If I'm at home it's no problem. If I am away from home, I bring my supplies with me. The only real problem is finding a safe and clean place to do it. I very reluctant to do it public restrooms, so I avoid that situation. The only other problem for me is when I travel. Again finding a safe place to reinsert.
I usually only wear my lenses for a few hours 3-4 days per week as they become quite uncomfortable
It is annoying but it works. It lets me wear the lenses from the time I get up to to showering at night.
Discomfort usually comes from being very tired or allergy
Love my vision with sclerals, but they are more work!
No that much of a problem most days. Only becomes an issue if I'm sweating a lot.
Really need the cleaner .... have switched to the Miraflow for now
I wear my scleral lenses for 12 hours or more a day. Never have had any problems.
Lanolin free hand soap solved the problem of fogging during the day--no longer occurs. I remove and re-insert my lenses once a day when I take a nap (Im retired) Another often overlooked contributor!
It happens so infrequently that it's not really worth stressing about.
I went thru a set that required refilling multiple times a day, post cross-linking epi on. My OD and I made the call to wait until cornea had settled before refitting. Current set is a much better fit and has far fewer issues. I recommend highly trained ODs with skills in complex care to help address fit challenges.
My lenses are very new. With previous lenses, it seemed like the passage of time wearing them resulted in having to remove, rinse, and reinsert more often - more often the longer I had them.
Happens occasionally and when it does I generally leave my lens out for an hour or so.
I am not currently taking out my sclerals and re-inserting during the day. HOWEVER, I did reinsert once/day a couple years ago and it seemed to help improve my dry eyes. To be sure that it was because of reinsertation, I would have to try again to see if there was a change. So, maybe it helped. It is not convenient to do reinsert when I wear eye makeup. I have gotten eye makeup (mascara or eyeliner) on my scleral lens. Also, it can be inconvenient to have a sterile place to reinsert mid-day.
For me it's equally mucous, eye bubble, discomfort, or fogging as reason I have to rinse and reinsert one of my lenses about once a day.
Instead of removing I use blink dry contacts lens drops (removes lens build up). This product is the only thing that clears my fog and any protein. Highly recommend it vs removal and reinsert which is a hassle to have to do.
I clean, fill and insert the scleral lens take them out at night then do the same the next day, that does it .
I wear prose lenses and have OCP. When I sleep or not wear my lenses I often have pain in my eyes -burn, scratchy, hurt. My viscous fluid is thick and either clogs my lenses,
Sometimes I remove the lens right after I insert it. I feel it removes any stray dust or hairs. When I put it back in, it’s good for the day. I use Systane when my eyes get tired & to remove them.
I remove my lenses to use autologous serum drops in the middle of the day.
It only happens once in a while, and removing refilling and re-inserting takes care of it
I suffer from dry eye caused by GvHD (post-transplant damage). I am fortunate to have been prescribed Prose scleral lenses to help with my condition. As for initial steps, I will run saline solution over my eyes before inserting the lenses. I usually notice the gunk or haziness in my eyes shortly after putting them in my eyes in the morning. I will wait a few minutes to see if the problem resolves itself. If not, I will remove the lens, wash with saline solution and reinsert. This usually fixes the problem. Otherwise, I leave the lenses in for most of the day with relative comfort although I will occasionally lubricate with Vizio if feeling dry. Systane does not work for me as it makes my vision very cloudy. Thanks!
I do wear the Prose lens.
I love LOVE my sclerals. The only time I need to reinsert is at insertion if I get a bubble.
“Gunk” during allergy season is really bad. We use opticon allergy drops.
It has been so frustrating for me because these lens were supposed to be the answer to my long wear and vision acuity issues. My vision is termed "legally blind" My Dr. has done his best to get these contacts to work, but the technology hasn't caught up to my unique vision needs.
On very rare instances do I have to do this, but I have had to due to dryness or seasonal changes. Living in Augusta, GA, we have "pollen" season for a few weeks and it's more prevalent in late March and early April for me to have to do this with my lenses.
It gets aggravating but I just wipe my eyes more keeping them clean as I can
I get away with not having to remove and reinsert by using one drop of Celluvisc in the lens bowl and occasionally Refresh Plus drops into the conjunctival sac during the day.
If I work outside (mostly on weekends) I can rinse & refill several times that day. Most of my issues are allergy related. My day job I'm a business owner and behind a computer w/48" monitor for upwards of 12 to 16 hrs. Depending on daily allergies and dryness due to a/c or heat. I typically 1 rinse/refill a day. Days away from pc and phone usage, no refill/rinse. Also had DALK in both eyes due to bi-lateral KC for 40 years.
One eye gets twice as fogged as the other!
Going to the movies or a play is difficult because the lenses become VERY dry. I try to remember to take eye drops with me to get to intermission when I can then remove , clean and reinsert.
I am constantly aware of time - how long it takes to insert, where I am in 4 hours to clean again, etc... Spontaneous activity is down the drain, and I can't drive at night, or go to places I am not familiar with, but being able to function as well as I do is a giant plus. The efforts and inconveniences are worth it! I wonder if moisture chamber glasses would help prolong in-eye time for you or some folks with similar removal frequency.
I love that I can now see
This is the primary problem I have with sclera lens. I’ve changed storage solutions, saline solution and artificial tears and nothing reduces fogging and protein buildup.
If I work outside and need to shower off before bedtime, I remove and soak my scleral lenses while I shower. Otherwise there is a risk of getting dirt, body oils, or soap under the lenses. In the rare cases where I showered with the lenses in, I almost always regretted it later. An additional and more serious risk of showering with sclerals is acanthamoeba keratitis
I have very dry eyes and the sclera lens help with that issue, but then the fogging starts and I find that to be very annoying. It's not always easy to take care of that problem as I'm retired and I'm not home 24/7. I don't want to take all my supplies with me wherever I go.
This used to be a huge problem for me when I was using the Bausch + Lomb solution's. On a recommendation from my Doctor I switched to the Clear Care system, and am happy to report I now never have this issue! Hurray!
This has just started being an issue. I don't know if it has something to do with me using Vital Tears, made from my blood plasma; or if it means my lens needs to be replaced. My lens looks fine, no cracks or scratches.
I struggled for the last 6 months with extreme debris deposits on my lens, which I hadn't experienced during the years previous to that. My cornea specialist suggested that it was due to changes in my tear composition. Just this month. He put me on a 100 mg dose of doxycycline twice a day, for 30 days, which actually seems to be clearing this up. I am so grateful.
I find that if I leave my lenses in for a long time (8+ hrs), I tend to have fogging issues the next day; I leave my lenses out a few hours after waking, to give my eyes time to adjust. Not getting enough sleep can also cause lenses to fog.
I did pick the most common reason - but I do also get fogging and a bubble under them at times.
Very rarely do I need to remove and reinsert. Every once in a while it is bad enough to require removal but usually barely noticeable so just grin and bear it.
Left Eye Only - Shingles, PKP, Cataract (IOL) from meds, another PKP; Scleral lens in Left eye - 6 hours max wear time due to dryness, discomfort, mucous, and/or fogging. Best bowl fill for me right now is Nutrifil. Monthly contact other eye. Neither are multifocal, can use readers for up close, unable to find solution for mid-distance. Use silicone fold-flat food-grade funnel with battery op tea light inside for insertion due to arthritis fingers. Only product that I can use for both types of contact is Clear Care Plus w/HydraGlyde. Maintaining products for both contacts is too expensive. I am a mature person that prefers glasses. This is my 2nd try with the scleral, the 1st try I failed and then had another PKP surgery on same eye. I'm still trying. I bought a 3D printed scleral lens case from Etsy, it's nice and I can change the configuration depending on the brand of bowl fill I have. Out of options for vison, so still trying. So sorry. Love for you to join our Zoom group
The only time I reinsert my scleral lens is when I remove them at the eye doctor's office for an exam or if my eyes are in pain. Normally, I only rinse and reinsert; but, if grime remains after rinsing, I will clean and refill.
Winter months cause the most issues
It is inconvenient and sometimes not possible to remove, clean, rinse and reinsert my scleral to maintain clear vision.
I’m thinking the material used to make a scleral is a factor. I noticed for me it is. I have less fogging, protein build up, uncomfortable fitting and cleaning.
Usually it depends on the condition of my eyes. if some sort of inflammation is there i have to do it more often.
It took a while to figure out to insert without bubbles, but now I have little issue in the insert, but does vary from day to day.
If it's not mucus/gunk, it's dust or fogging. I remove to clean my lenses maybe 4-5 times per day, which is very stressful since that means I end up spending over $100/mo (which is about 7% of my income just on solutions) and it makes going to events or outdoors while also benefiting from seeing better than 20/90 (20/20). Yikes! I hope you'll avail yourself of our freebies when available. You can reach out to Alisha to keep an eye out for things you need before they go on the freebie list.
My lenses are medically necessary at this point, which makes adapting to glasses for life activities that much harder. I haven't gone outdoors in months because I'm worried about having to carry around enough equipment to ensure I have a clean workspace to take my lenses in and out at least a couple times. A kit with hand sanitizer, dental bib (favorite way to make a covered workspace), solution, plunger & case? More involved of course if you use a stand
Since my lenses are HydraPEG, I'm also limited on what I can use with them, making the process all the more expensive. (It's also really hard to tell what is hydraPEG safe aside from tangible products and basic saline solutions)" The Hydra-PEG compatible solutions are Tangible Clean, Unique pH, Boston Simplus and Clear Care. See manufacturer's Care Tips page.
I usually have discomfort due to the lense not cleaned enough, or due to make up, or dryness
Hate bubbles and having to start completely over with the process!!! 👻
I am just about ready to discontinue my scleral lens use. I have problems with night driving because of fogging; reading my music at rehearsals and concerts (I am a cellist). I am very frustrated. I have tried so many drops and using a "cocktail" of drops. I need something from your shop that really works. Right now I am using Nutrafill, I have used Lacripure, I have Biotrue and many others. Thanks for your survey and your store. P.S. It has been suggested that I try Celluvisc in the bowl. So sorry to hear what you're struggling with. Can I suggest, either call and have Alisha schedule a time for us to chat (might take a few days) or join the DEF zoom group where there's lots of time to go over these things and talk about options. And yes please do try a little Celluvisc in the bowl.
