• What is the primary purpose of this saline solution in soft contact lens care, and how does it differ from regular saline?

  This ALLERGAN PRESERVED SALINE SOLUTION is a sterile, buffered saline specifically formulated for soft contact lens maintenance, ensuring ocular hygiene and lens integrity by providing a compatible environment. Unlike regular saline, it is preserved (to extend shelf life) and ophthalmically optimized to reduce irritation while cleaning and storing lenses. It is not intended for general wound irrigation or non-lens applications.
