Opti-Free PureMoist provides advanced multi-purpose disinfection and up to 16 hours of sustained moisture for all soft contact lenses, including modern silicone hydrogel materials. By utilizing a proprietary wetting technology that bonds to the lens surface during the soaking period, this solution is a leading choice for wearers who experience end-of-day dryness and require active moisture support for comfortable lens wear.
The Clinical Benefits of Opti-Free PureMoist Wetting Technology
The efficacy of this Alcon contact lens solution lies in its ability to recondition and hydrate lenses during the storage cycle. By creating a moisture shield around the lens, it reduces friction between the eyelid and the lens surface, which is often the primary cause of irritation for frequent wearers.
- HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix (EOBO-41): This proprietary wetting agent bonds directly to the lens surface, creating a protective layer of moisture that supports comfort from insertion until the end of the day.
- Dual Disinfection System: Utilizing POLYQUAD and ALDOX, the formulation destroys harmful bacteria and microorganisms without irritating the sensitive corneal surface.
- Effective Lipid and Protein Removal: Specialized cleaning agents target and remove deposits that accumulate during daily wear, ensuring consistent optical clarity and hygiene for reusable lenses.
Who Should Wear Opti-Free PureMoist?
Optometrists frequently recommend Opti-Free PureMoist for patients who require a high-performance multi-purpose disinfecting solution. It is especially suitable for:
- Wearers of silicone hydrogel monthly or fortnightly reusable lenses.
- Individuals who suffer from dry eyes or discomfort towards the end of the day.
- Patients seeking a travel size contact solution for convenience on the go.
- Users who prefer a comprehensive "all-in-one" routine for cleaning, rinsing, and storage.
Note: Suitability, fit, and replacement schedules must always be confirmed by your optometrist.

Common Questions About Opti-Free PureMoist
Can Opti-Free PureMoist be used with any contact lens?
Yes, Opti-Free PureMoist is compatible with all soft contact lenses. It is specifically formulated to enhance the performance of silicone hydrogel lenses such as Air Optix plus HydraGlyde, Biofinity, and PureVision 2 HD.
Should lenses be rubbed when using Opti-Free PureMoist?
Yes, clinical experts recommend the "rub and rinse" method for optimal hygiene. Patients should place the lens in the palm, apply a few drops of Opti-Free PureMoist, and gently rub for 20 seconds before rinsing to ensure the complete removal of debris and protein deposits.
How long can lenses be stored in Opti-Free PureMoist before wearing?
After the disinfection cycle is complete, lenses may be stored in a closed contact lens case filled with fresh Opti-Free PureMoist for up to 30 days. If the lenses are stored for longer than 30 days, they must be cleaned and disinfected again prior to use.
Is Opti-Free PureMoist suitable for patients with sensitive eyes?
Opti-Free PureMoist is generally well-tolerated by those with sensitivities. It utilizes large-molecule disinfectants like POLYQUAD and ALDOX, which are designed to clean effectively without penetrating the ocular tissues, reducing the risk of preservative-related irritation.
