Metro-K Care Guide
Caring for your Ortho-K Lenses
Proper cleaning and handling are an important part of keeping your Metro-K lenses comfortable, safe, and performing their best. Follow these steps every day to support healthy eyes and clear vision.
Morning
After Removing Your Lenses
- Wash and completely dry your hands.
- Remove your lenses.
- Rub and rinse each lens with your recommended GP cleaning/disinfecting solution.
- Place lenses in fresh disinfecting solution. Never reuse or “top off” yesterday’s solution.
- Empty and clean your lens case. Rinse with contact lens solution – never water – and allow it to air-dry upside down.
Night
Before Putting Your Lenses In
- Wash and completely dry your hands.
- Remove each lens from the case.
- Rinse the lens as directed with sterile saline or your recommended GP solution.
- Insert your lenses before going to sleep.
If recommended by your eye doctor, a preservative-free artificial tear may be placed in the lens before insertion.
Never Use Water
Keep your Metro-K lenses and lens case away from tap water, bottled water, distilled water, shower or swimming-pool water, homemade saline, and saliva.
Only use products recommended by your eye care professional.
Your Care Products
Your doctor may recommend a GP multipurpose solution such as Boston Simplus®, Unique pH®, or Tangible Clean®, or a hydrogen peroxide system such as CLEAR CARE®.
Important: Hydrogen peroxide solutions must fully neutralize in their special lens case before the lenses are placed on your eyes.

Replace your lens case approximately every 3 months, or as directed by your eye care professional.
Do not wear a lens that is damaged, uncomfortable, or causing unusual redness, pain, light sensitivity, discharge, or blurred vision. Remove the lens and contact your eye care professional.
Healthy lenses. Healthy eyes. Better Metro-K wear.
