hard contact lens solution?

Question

I have an allergy to my hard contact lens solution (Boston). I was told by a Dr. to use another maker's solution, however I cannot find another maker's hard contact lens solution. Does anybody know any other makers and where to purchase in Canada? Thanks.

Answer 1

I know Canada has Walmart. Walmart carried Equate, their own brand of contact solution for hard (gas permeable) contact lenses. They also carry Unique pH (specifically geared for those with allergies). You could try either of those solutions.

If you have Target, they also carry their own brand as does many drug stores/pharmacies. I always used Equate until I got these new lenses three weeks ago. I am now supposed to use on Unique pH for this brand of gas permeables. I hope there is a Walmart or Target near you.
