ClearKone - bubble formation after inserting

Postby Speedy » Fri 03 Dec 2010 10:36 pm

I have big trouble with bubble formation after inserting. With the old SynergEyes and Jack Allens FlexEdge there are no problems with this.
Any ideas?

Not sure if this will work, but it is worth a go:

First fill your lens with saline.
With your lens full of saline balanced on the end of your finger, look directly down into it.
Either move your head towards the lens or the lens toward your eye.
Contact.
A little of the fluid that was filling your lens may spill out.

All the best

In my experience it is as easy to balance a Clearkone on a finger as it is to walk tightrope on Spaghetti Sorry Andrew not meaning to appear rude but just having swapped from Softperm which you can balance on one finger to ClearKone I am fully experienced in Spaghetti and Tight Rope walking.

What Andrew says does make sense. But Balance your CK on a tripod made from your Thumb and first two fingers. Fill with Saline. Use your left hand to pull top eyelid back from the eye (do it at eyelash level so they dont get in the way. Use your ring finger of the hand holding the lens to pull bottom lid out of the way make sure while doing this you lean forward over a towel look directly into the centre of the lens place in eye and let lids go.

Thanks all. It works with saline. Using Moisture Complete or Alcon Replenish for Inserting was the mistake.

with the old SynergEyes it was a little better but comfort of ClearKone is much better (no red eyes).
