How to Swap to Non-Toxic contact solutions:
Here's how to swap to non-toxic contact solutions:
What to know about contact solution
Contact solution goes directly onto your eyes — one of the most sensitive and absorbent areas of your body. You use it at least once or twice a day, and what's in the formula sits right on your lenses and eye surface. That's why Welpr focuses on gentle preservatives, minimal fillers, and full ingredient transparency.
- Daily use and direct eye contact make this a high-priority product in Welpr's risk framework.
- Many conventional solutions contain preservatives or additives that can build up irritation over time, especially with everyday wear.
Review what you already use
Check the ingredient list on your current contact solution bottle. Look for preservatives, dyes, or vague ingredient listings that don't tell you exactly what's inside.
- If the label includes benzalkonium chloride, parabens, sulfates, or any added dye, consider it a flag to look for a cleaner option.
- If the brand doesn't fully disclose every ingredient on the packaging or their website, that's a sign to move on.
Use your current solution more safely
If you're not ready to switch right away, a few simple habits can help reduce potential irritation from your current contact solution.
- Rinse your lens case with fresh solution daily, let it air dry upside down, and replace it at least every three months.
- Avoid topping off old solution in your case — always empty it out and use a fresh pour each time you store your lenses.
Choose a cleaner contact solution
Look for solutions with short, fully transparent ingredient lists. Preservative-free formulas are ideal, but if a preservative is present, gentle options like sodium perborate or polyhexanide are preferable.
- Skip any solution with added dyes, parabens, or benzalkonium chloride — and be cautious of brands that use vague terms like "proprietary blend" instead of listing every ingredient.
