Scleralfil seems to do the same job for me as Nutrifill - with both cases I still need to use a few drops of Celluvisc in each lens to avoid having to do a midday rinse rub and refill.
I like that Nutrifill is based in my state, but ultimately the price just makes it so that im going to have to go with Scleralfil as my main filling solution. For any daily use product, changes in pricing will make a big difference over time.
Thank you! I just got my scleral lenses and my doctor did not explain any of this, he was like "You can order saline from Amazon". They also gave me a big bottle of Tangible Clean and I'm just learning that TC has to be rinsed with saline before I fill and insert the lenses 😵💫🥺
Hi there, thanks for the feedback :) As you're new to sclerals can I suggest another resource from Dry Eye Foundation: www.mbfsl.org - a whole resource center for scleral lens users (nonprofit, no commercial affiliations). Lots of handy things :)
@@TheDryEyeShop OMG thank you so much!!! I'll print the checklist for my next appointment
@tsbrand1 That's a great way to reduce PF saline needs - using preserved saline for the rinsing :)
For those who use a LOT of saline (common for new users especially, learning to put them in, or people with a lot of "remove, rinse, refill" needs due to midday fogging) Purilens can be a good option as well.
I recently started wearing a scleral lens in my left eye & I swear my Sclerafil. I normally will put a band-aid over the spout so I can use it over two days. After the second day, I throw away whatever hasn't been used, but I need to stop 😀🤦🏾♂️ Thanks for the review!!!
What are your thoughts on using Refresh Celluvise for filling scleral lenses?
Here's what we say on our site about using Celluvisc to fill the lenses:
Refresh Celluvisc as a supplemental filler for scleral lenses
FIRST, please read this obligatory mini-lecture on "Off-Label" use of products: Manufacturers sell pharmaceutical products for specific uses and by law their label information specifies those uses only. People use products sometimes for additional purposes, and doctors also often recommend products for purposes beyond the scope of their labeled purposes. Manufacturers, however, cannot advertise their products for these "off-label" purposes, for obvious reasons!
I sometimes exercise my free speech rights in this shop to identify and explain common off-label uses if I think they are important uses for patients to be aware of because they could be helpful to them. Nevertheless I'm depending on you, the intelligent, rational reader, to understand what "off-label" is and discuss any ophthalmic pharmaceutical product use with your doctor. Incidentally, there's a whole 'nuther backstory to why no dry eye drops say, on the label, that they're okay to use with contacts, relating to the fact that lubricants are regulated as drugs, while contact lens wetting drops are technically considered medical devices. But I've bored you enough - back to our regularly scheduled programming now!
WHAT and WHY:For a great many years now, Refresh Celluvisc has been popular amongst PROSE and scleral lens users as a supplement to the preservative free saline they fill their devices/lenses with. I remember this personally from more than 10 years ago when some PROSE users who had chronic problems with mucous buildup inside their lenses were starting to use it. Today, one of the most frequent questions I see coming up in the Facebook groups is troubleshooting lens fogging, and many others are responding that they address this with Celluvisc.
PLEASE NOTE that both mucous and fogging can be due to a number of causes, from lens fit to your cleaning and disinfection regimen, or they may be specific to eye diseases you have. So it is very, very important that you fully brief your doctor on any such things going on so they can help you resolve it. Here, I'm just pointing out what so many people already know, that Celluvisc for some users seems to successfully address these issues.
HOW TO USE IT: I suspect it's different for every user. Some people put a drop of Celluvisc in the bowl of their lens and top it up with saline, some do the opposite. Some use nothing but Celluvisc. Some do half and half. Consult your doctor first and foremost, and if they OK it, experiment.
HOW IT WORKS:I have no idea. Obviously it raises the pH and increases the viscosity, but I can't explain the actual mechanics. It's simply one of those things that just works.
Hey there, thanks for the video! I have dry eyes, like most people. I have thought about Nutirfill or Lacripure. Any thoughts?
It's hard to predict what will work best for any individual, but I'd say broadly speaking, the drier your eyes, the more likely you are to prefer a buffered saline, and Nutrifill is the best of those. I myself am partial to Scleralfil's vial type - hands down the best designed on the market, and the saline itself is quite good.
Lacripure is a good product and good option for those who want a smaller vial (it's 5mL, versus 10mL for Scleralfil and Nutrifill).
Personally, my most recent routine (it changes over the years) has been to use Nutrifill at home, and Scleralfil while traveling, but on my last couple of trips I stuck with Nutrifill the whole time, my eyes just seem happier with it.
@@TheDryEyeShop I just ordered LaCrifill. There were some good ratings for it. You metioned in the video Nutrifill was kind of like Scleralfil. I had issues with Scleralfil in the past, so I went with LaCrifill. Just having a lot of issues. And to be honest, I was using Clear Care as a wetting solution for insertion. And not the best at cleaning, I thought Clear Care did that automatically. Got to step up my game on eye care. Thanks
@@keithclark8030 Alright best of luck with the Lacripure, it's quite popular :) Clear care as a wetting solution!!!! Yikes. That's hydrogen peroxide. Very uncomfortable for the eyes to say the least. Glad you figured it out. Clear Care is excellent as a disinfection solution, but not safe to get anywhere near the eyes unless it's neutralized by being in the special case overnight.
@TheDryEyeShop It was neutralized is I was using a couple drops of GelTeal for comfort. Was still having a lot of issues, so I'm looking for a better option.
@@TheDryEyeShop Just wondering if you ever used BioTrue for wetting? Sorry for the questions, just trying to have something work for my eyes.
