I only ever used B+L saline, i'll be trying the coopervision saline as I've used that brand in the past without any issues. I still got two bottles of B+L saline I checked the LOT number on https://www.blrecall.expertinquiry.com/ and it says it's not affected.

I rang them and they couldn't confirm if all affected batches are now withdrawn from suppliers. They also couldn't confirm where digital vouchers could be used.

CooperVision's Saline is another alternative and on the recommended list for some hospitals.

Do you know what is recommended for cleaning/storage of RGPs?

Abatron's Quattro is another good cleaning/wetting solution.

So it cleans lenses, and is used in the lens case for storage as well

I just called optometry and they're suggesting Total Care (Blink), but they havnt listed saline yet, they're going to get back to me.
I do find the rigidity of bottles do very, supermarket bottles are the worst

No one got back to me about saline.

followed all the instructions, checking Lot numbers, registering them, photographing affected stock and emailing them, there hasn't been a single acknowledgement or offer of reimbursement yet
