Quick answer
Caring for Silsoft Super Plus aphakic pediatric contact lenses requires a strict cleaning routine with a multi-purpose solution, gentle handling to avoid tears, and proper overnight storage to prevent contamination.
Why Silsoft lenses need special care
Silsoft Super Plus lenses are custom-made for children with aphakia, meaning they have a larger diameter and thicker profile than standard contacts. This design makes them more prone to protein deposits and harder to clean if you skip a step. A consistent care routine is essential to maintain comfort and vision clarity.
Silsoft Super Plus care FAQ
How do I clean Silsoft Super Plus lenses each day?
Rub the lens gently with a few drops of a multi-purpose contact lens solution for about 20 seconds, then rinse thoroughly with fresh solution. Place the lens in a clean case filled with fresh solution for overnight soaking. Never use tap water or saliva. Always rub and rinse — no-rub solutions are not enough for these thick lenses.
How often should I replace the lens case?
Replace the lens case every three months, or sooner if it shows cracks or buildup. Rinse the case with solution and let it air dry each day. A dirty case can contaminate the lens even if you clean it perfectly. Mark a calendar reminder to swap cases quarterly.
What should I do if the lens feels dry or uncomfortable?
Remove the lens immediately and inspect it for debris or damage. Re-clean it using the rub-and-rinse method. If the discomfort persists, rewet with a few drops of approved contact lens rewetting solution. Do not use eye drops not labeled for contact lenses. Never ignore discomfort — it may signal a torn lens or an eye infection.
Can my child swim or shower while wearing Silsoft lenses?
No. Remove the lenses before swimming, showering, or using a hot tub. Water can introduce harmful microorganisms that stick to the lens surface and cause serious eye infections. Use prescription swim goggles if needed. Keep lenses completely dry around water.
How do I store the lens if not in use for a few days?
Store the lens in a clean case filled with fresh multi-purpose solution. Replace the solution every 48 hours even if the lens is not worn. Do not let the lens dry out — once dry, it cannot be safely rehydrated. Check and change storage solution every two days.
When should I replace the Silsoft Super Plus lens?
These are annual lenses, so replace them every 12 months or sooner if the lens becomes damaged, discolored, or uncomfortable. Follow your eye doctor's recommended replacement schedule exactly. Mark the replacement date on your calendar when you first insert the lens.
