Want to keep your eyes healthy and enjoy sharp vision every day? Then a high-quality lens solution is absolutely essential in your daily routine. At SMEYEL you will find reliable solutions for various types of lenses. Are you prone to irritations? Then discover our soft solutions especially for sensitive eyes. Check out our collection below.
SMEYEL is a newly established Dutch company with nearly 30 years’ experience in the Dutch and Belgian optical market. Since 1 June 2023, it has been the exclusive distributor of AVIZOR products in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.
The best contact lens solution depends on your specific type of lenses and the sensitivity of your eyes. For maximum convenience, choose an all-in-one solution. Do you have very sensitive eyes or do you experience rapid protein build-up? If so, a strong hydrogen peroxide system is the safest and most hygienic choice for you.
It is important to note that not every eye reacts the same to the chemical composition in a bottle. Some people cannot tolerate certain preservatives in standard bottles well. This then quickly causes red or stinging eyes. If you are in doubt about the right choice, we are happy to help. Take the time to compare our wide range and find the product that fits your lifestyle perfectly.
Cleaning with lens solution is essential to keep your fragile eyes healthy and prevent nasty inflammations. While wearing them, your lenses unwittingly collect a lot of dirt, dust and bacteria. The liquid thoroughly disinfects the material, so you can enjoy safe, razor-sharp vision every morning.
Without this daily cleaning, these invisible particles build up at lightning speed. This forms a sticky, cloudy layer over your lens, which we call a biofilm. This greatly deteriorates your vision and feels very uncomfortable. A good lens care routine will only cost you a minute a day, but will save you from many medical problems. So really never skip this step in the evening.
An all-in-one liquid is by far the most popular product in our range. This is simply because of its fantastic ease of use. After all, you only need a single bottle for your complete grooming routine in the bathroom. You clean, rinse, disinfect and store your lenses all with exactly the same liquid.
This not only saves you a lot of space in your bathroom cupboard, but also a great deal of precious time in the morning and evening. Most modern varieties also contain extra moisturising ingredients. These clever additions keep your monthly lenses supple and moist all day long. Order a large value pack straight away to ensure you always have this great convenience to hand.
Hydrogen peroxide lens solution offers extremely deep, effervescent cleaning that kills stubborn dirt and all bacteria. However, the liquid needs to be completely neutralised before you put your lenses back in. This process takes about six hours in the special lens case. After that, the peroxide is converted into harmless water.
This type of cleaning is the absolute king among care products. This is because it contains absolutely no preservatives, which makes it perfect for people with allergies or extremely sensitive eyes. However, you should absolutely never drip this pure liquid directly into your eye. Make sure you always follow the accompanying instructions very strictly for a safe and comfortable experience.
It is crucial to choose the right type of liquid for your specific type of lenses. Soft lenses absorb a lot of moisture like a sponge. They need a mild liquid that prevents them from drying out on your eye. Hard, form-fitting lenses, on the other hand, absorb no moisture at all.
These hard varieties require a much stiffer, stronger cleaner. This is needed to rub tough grease and caked proteins off the hard, smooth surface. So while ordering, always pay extra close attention to the clear labels on the packaging. Do you accidentally use the wrong bottles? Then your lenses can immediately become unusable or extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, always compare the product descriptions carefully before purchase.
An opened bottle of lens solution generally has a shelf life of three to a maximum of six months. After this specific period, the product loses its powerful, disinfecting effect. Bacteria and fungi can then grow freely in the opened bottle. Therefore, throw old liquid safely into the bin immediately after this date.
Using outdated products poses huge risks to the health of your cornea. A very handy tip is to write the opening date big on the plastic label with a black marker. That way, you will always know exactly when it is time to order a brand new bottle from our stock. Never skimp on your eye health by storing liquid for too long.
You use a mild saline solution only to rinse your lenses safely. You often do this just before putting them in your eyes. It is an extremely comfortable, physiological rinse solution. However, it contains absolutely no disinfectants and therefore does not clean your lenses at all.
You should therefore never use a saline solution to keep your contact lenses in overnight. If you do, harmful bacteria will multiply at breakneck speed in your sealed case. Use this saline solution purely as a gentle, soothing extra step for optimal wearing comfort, for example after using a solid peroxide cleaner.
Going on a lovely holiday, a weekend away or flying abroad on business soon? Large litre bottles are awkwardly heavy and are also not allowed in your hand luggage on the plane due to strict liquid rules. Fortunately, you can order very handy, small travel packs from us.
These compact travel kits usually contain bottles of up to a hundred millilitres. These small formats can easily pass through customs in the aircraft cabin. They often come in a transparent, resealable bag, including a fresh lens case. This keeps your important stuff clean, organised and always within easy reach, wherever you are in the world.
No, you should absolutely never replace your lens solution with tap water. This is because tap water always contains microscopic bacteria and sometimes dangerous parasites. These attach themselves directly to your lens and can cause an extremely painful and permanent eye infection. For every small step in your routine, use only the right, sterile liquid.
Even simply rinsing your plastic storage case under the hot tap is already a particularly high medical risk. In the unlikely event that you run out of liquid at home or in your bag? Then throw your lenses away immediately and wear your glasses. The high medical costs of a serious corneal infection are absolutely outweighed by the price of a fresh pair of lenses.

People with sensitive eyes often experience quicker symptoms, such as redness or a stinging sensation, when using a standard all-in-one liquid. This is almost always due to a mild allergic reaction to the synthetic preservatives added in these bottles to make them last long. Therefore, the absolute best and safest choice for very sensitive eyes is a hydrogen peroxide system. This type of cleanser contains no irritating preservatives at all, but offers the most powerful, bacteria-killing action available on the market. However, you should always use the bottle in combination with the included, special neutralisation box to safely convert the peroxide to water. Alternatively, you can look for very mild all-in-one variants specifically labelled "sensitive". Feel free to ask our friendly customer service team for reliable advice perfectly suited to your situation.
No, it is strongly advised against mixing different brands or even different types of liquids just like that in your little lens case. This is because each manufacturer uses its own unique and specially patented chemical composition. If you indiscriminately pour these different chemicals from the individual bottles together, a nasty chemical reaction can very unexpectedly occur in the box. This reaction can completely destroy the disinfecting power of the liquid, or much worse, damage and cloud your fragile lenses beyond repair. It can also cause very severe and painful irritation to your cornea as soon as you insert the lens into your eye. Would you still really like to switch to another, more affordable brand from our webshop? Then always throw away your old case first and start with a complete, fresh lens case. That way, you maintain maximum safety for your eyes.
This is obviously a very annoying situation, especially if you are far from home or staying somewhere. However, it is extremely important to use common sense and never take medical risks in such a panic situation. Absolutely never use water from the tap, mineral water from a bottle, your own saliva or a quick homemade saline solution with table salt to save your lenses. All these improvised remedies are packed with dangerous and aggressive bacteria that can damage your cornea at lightning speed and permanently. Unfortunately, if you really can't buy or borrow a suitable bottle of lens solution anywhere, there is only one very painful thing to do. You will have to throw your lenses in the bin and wear your spare glasses for the time being. It's a waste of your money, but the medical costs of a severe and prolonged corneal infection are really many times higher.
For optimal hygiene, it is crucial that you really change the fluid in your storage case completely every day after putting in your lenses. In the morning, pour the old fluid directly into the sink. Rinse the empty container very well with some extra, clean lens solution and let it dry upside down on a clean, lint-free tissue throughout the day. At night before going to bed, put completely fresh liquid back into the trays and put your clean lenses inside. Never simply refill the tray a little. This is what opticians call capping. If you just capped, harmful bacteria from the previous day will simply remain in the box and your product will lose its effectiveness completely. This significantly increases the chances of solid irritations or painful infections. In addition, replace the plastic container itself faithfully every month.
Of course, it is hugely annoying when putting in your lenses is accompanied by a sharp pain or an unpleasant, burning sensation. This can have several, obvious causes in your routine. The most painful cause is that you have accidentally used a hydrogen peroxide liquid that has not yet been able to neutralise in the tub for the full six hours. This causes a bright, stabbing pain on your cornea very immediately. You should immediately and very prolongedly rinse your eye under a lukewarm tap or shower in such a specific case. Another very logical explanation is that over the years you have slowly become allergic to the preservatives present in your current, trusted brand of all-in-one bottle. Finally, it could also mean that you did not rinse your hands properly before cleaning, leaving irritating soap residue on your lens.
It may sound like a very quick and logical solution, but it is particularly strongly discouraged by ophthalmologists to use ordinary lens solution as an eye drop. This is because the big bottles you buy for thoroughly cleaning and storing your lenses contain quite aggressive soaps and very strong, disinfecting ingredients. These ingredients are purely designed to dissolve stubborn bacteria and tough proteins on the plastic. If you drip these tough chemicals pure and undiluted into your delicate eye, you will completely disrupt your own tear film. This will soon cause an extra burning sensation and considerably red eyes. If you often suffer from dry or tired eyes during the working day, it is much better to order safe, special eye drops. These products are designed purely for hydration and perfectly mimic your own, natural tear fluid.
Yes, there is a huge difference between the liquids for these two completely different materials. Therefore, you can absolutely never just swap them with each other or use them interchangeably. Soft lenses are porous, act like a flexible sponge and immediately absorb a lot of moisture. They therefore need a very soft, moisturising fluid that keeps their flexible structure supple and firmly prevents dehydration. Hard, form-fitting lenses, on the other hand, contain no moisture at all. To clean this hard and very smooth material successfully and streak-free, you need a much more aggressive, often more viscous cleaner. This is specially designed to scour very tough fats and stuck protein layers from the hard plastic. If you were to use this strong, hard cleaner on a soft lens, you will instantly destroy the material and cause irreparable damage. So always read the labels in our shop carefully.
Yes, even a perfectly sealed and completely unopened bottle of lens solution has a very strict expiry date. You will find this expiry date, often clearly marked with a small hourglass symbol or the clear letters "EXP", firmly printed on the cardboard box and the bottom of the plastic bottle. The chemical formula in the product, especially the important antibacterial additives, breaks down very slowly after a few years. After the indicated expiry date, the manufacturer simply cannot guarantee with certainty that the bottle will provide the promised, sterile and safe cleaning. Since you are talking about the health of your most important sense, it is simply not wise to take unnecessary risks with this. Therefore, check the expiry date of your order as soon as you receive it. Is the date in your bathroom cabinet now well past? Then throw the bottle closed and safely in the bin.
Storing your supply of bottles correctly, dry and safely is more important than most lens wearers realise. This is because the chemical active ingredients in the liquid are quite sensitive to extreme fluctuations in temperature. Therefore, always store your products in a dark, solid place at normal room temperature. A chest of drawers in the hall or your own wardrobe is often the most stable and cool place in the house. The bathroom, although nice and practical, is actually the worst place in your home. With lots of hot showering and bathing, the overall humidity and temperature here constantly fluctuates tremendously. This can greatly reduce the quality and longevity of disinfection unnoticed. In addition, it is an absolute basic rule that you close the bottle cap very tightly and firmly immediately after each use, to block airborne contamination.
Gently rubbing your lenses in your clean palm is the most effective step in your entire evening routine, even if you use an expensive bottle with a so-called "no-rub" claim on the packaging. Around the world, qualified contact lens specialists unanimously advise that you really should perform this important step every night anyway. During the long working day, cosmetics, oily proteins, fine dust and bacteria nestle firmly in the outer layer of the plastic. Only by rubbing both sides of the lens with your clean little finger and a generous drop of liquid for about 20 seconds will you mechanically break up this tough layer. After this careful rubbing, the chemical disinfection can immediately wash away the loosened dirt particles from the lens much more easily and effectively. This simple, extra minute of work every morning immediately ensures much higher wearing comfort and much sharper, high-contrast vision.
