No rub instructions are to blame
Even the sales reps are advising us to ignore the instructions on their own No-Rub solutions. We hear that the product recalls for patients getting infections from their solutions is really the fault of the patients improper use of the product. Most of the patients with infection were not only not rubbing their contacts, which does 80% of the disinfecting, but were also re-using their solution.In other words, the patients were taking their lenses off dirty and soaking dirty in the same solution for days or weeks at a time. I tell my patients, if you didn't rub it you didn't clean it and you always clean your case between uses with very hot tap water and dry with a clean towel by rubbing.Frequent replacement of cases is also recommended or disinfecting with peroxide.

Real results seem different
We don't see the irritation from our patients that this study would predict. Anyone else?
