lens question
I forgot to ask the optom this! I have been given Alcon Unique PH multi-purpose solution when I got my lenses and was told to store them in the lens case in the solution, do i just keep topping up the solution or do I need to empty it out then refill? Also do I just keep the same lens case or change it?

Donna,
Best is to get a spare case which will probably come with a new supply of solution.
As you probably don't have one just yet, chuck the old solution and rinse the case with solution and refill.
Once you have a spare, rinse the one that did have the lenses in with cooled boiled water and leave to dry inverted on a peper towel. Then when you need to use it, give it a quick rinse with solution prior to filling and putting lenses in.
Never put lenses in a dry case as you risk scratching the lens surface.
