Avizor Lacrifresh Cleaning is a cleansing and moisturising eye drop for contact lens wearers. You instil the solution into the eye whilst the lenses are in, so that the lens is cleaned and moisturised in between uses without having to remove it. The formula, containing poloxamer, helps to loosen proteins and fats that build up on the lens during the day; these are then washed away by blinking and the tear film. PVP (povidone) provides lubrication, resulting in a smoother lens surface. The drops are suitable for all types of contact lenses and can be used several times a day, for example when spending long periods in front of a screen or in an air-conditioned environment.
Throughout the day, proteins, lipids and other deposits build up on the lens surface. This can cause:
Lacrifresh Cleaning tackles this without having to take out your lenses.
So both your eyes and lenses feel fresher and more comfortable.
You can use Lacrifresh Cleaning several times a day, exactly when your eyes need it.

Lacrifresh Cleaning is a cleansing and moisturising eye drop for contact lens wearers. The drops are designed to moisturise the lens whilst wearing it and to help reduce light deposits on the lens surface. According to Avizor, the product can clean the lens immediately without having to remove it. It is not an all-in-one lens solution, nor is it a disinfecting lens solution. Reusable lenses must still be cleaned, disinfected and stored in accordance with the care system specified for the lens. Lacrifresh Cleaning is therefore a supplement for use between regular care routines, not a replacement for daily care. Use the product in accordance with the instructions for use and the advice of your contact lens specialist.
First, wash and dry your hands. Instil 1 to 2 drops of Lacrifresh Cleaning into each eye whilst wearing your lenses, then blink gently a few times to allow the drops to spread over the lens. You can repeat this several times a day, for example if you experience a dry or burning sensation, if your vision is blurred due to deposits, during long working days at a computer or in a dry environment. Keep the tip of the bottle away from your fingers, eyes, eyelids, eyelashes, skin and contact lenses, and close the bottle immediately after use. Follow the instructions for use on the packaging. If symptoms persist, do not use the drops to mask them; seek advice instead.
Avizor describes Lacrifresh Cleaning as a product that can clean the lens immediately without having to remove it. The drops are designed to help remove light deposits that build up during the day.
This does not mean that the drops replace the entire lens cleaning process. At the end of the day, reusable lenses must still be cleaned, disinfected and stored in accordance with the recommended care system.
No. Lacrifresh Cleaning is not a substitute for contact lens solution for cleaning, disinfecting or storing lenses. The product is intended as eye drops to be used whilst wearing contact lenses. For soft lenses, RGP lenses, overnight lenses and other reusable lenses, a suitable care regime is still required, in accordance with the advice of your contact lens specialist. You should therefore use the drops alongside, rather than instead of, your daily lens care routine. If you run out of the correct lens solution, do not use tap water, saliva or a homemade solution; instead, wear glasses until the correct solution is available. This ensures that your lens care remains safe and thorough. The contact lens specialist will advise on which care system is suitable for the wearer’s type of lens.
No, do not use Lacrifresh Cleaning as a disinfecting lens solution. The drops can help reduce light deposits on the lens and moisturise it, but this is not the same as disinfecting. Disinfection requires a suitable care system, such as an all-in-one solution or a hydrogen peroxide system, depending on the type of lens and the advice of your contact lens specialist. Always use the care system recommended for your lenses and do not skip the cleaning and disinfection steps at the end of the day. Lacrifresh Cleaning is a supplement for use between cleaning sessions. This helps keep the lens fresh whilst you’re wearing it, whilst disinfection is carried out by the care system. If you have any questions about the routine, your specialist will be happy to explain.
This depends on the instructions on the label and the advice of your contact lens specialist. Lacrifresh Cleaning has been developed for contact lens wearers, but not every user has the same type of lens or the same lens care routine.
For soft lenses, moisturising and cleansing drops can be useful if the lens starts to feel less comfortable during the day. If symptoms persist, discuss the lens material, wearing time and lens solution with your optician.
Lacrifresh Cleaning may be of interest to contact lens wearers who experience deposits or a less clear sensation in their lenses during the day. Silicone hydrogel lenses may be prone to certain deposits in some users, depending on the tear film, the environment and lens care.
Only use the product in accordance with the label and the advice of your contact lens specialist. If you experience recurring deposits or dryness, it is advisable to have your lens care routine checked.
Only use Lacrifresh Cleaning with RGP lenses if this is in line with the product label and the advice of your contact lens specialist. RGP lenses often come with their own cleaning and storage solution, and this routine remains necessary.
Do not use eye drops as a substitute for RGP cleaner, conditioner or storage solution. Specific RGP products are required for this purpose.
With scleral lenses, extra care must be taken with solutions. The lens well is usually filled with sterile, preservative-free saline or a specific scleral lens filling solution before insertion. Ordinary eye drops are not automatically intended for this purpose.
When using Lacrifresh Cleaning with scleral lenses, do so only on the advice of your contact lens specialist. Also ask whether the drops are suitable for use whilst wearing the lenses and what to do in the event of blurred vision, air bubbles or build-up under the lens.
If you use overnight lenses or Ortho-K, it is advisable to discuss the use of eye drops with your contact lens specialist. The timing can be important, for example before insertion, after removal or during the day when not wearing lenses.
Do not use Lacrifresh Cleaning as a substitute for the prescribed cleaning and disinfection of overnight lenses. The recommended lens care system remains necessary for this purpose.
If blurred vision is caused by light deposits on the lens surface, Lacrifresh Cleaning may help to moisturise the lens and reduce light deposits. Blink gently after applying the drops to allow the solution to spread across the lens.
If your vision remains blurred, suddenly deteriorates, or you experience pain, redness or sensitivity to light, remove your lenses and seek advice. Blurred vision is not always simply due to lens deposits.
Lacrifresh Cleaning can moisturise the lens and may therefore be beneficial if lenses feel dry during the day. However, the product is not a solution for all forms of dry eyes or lens dryness.
Dryness can also be caused by the tear film, lens fit, working at a computer screen, dry air, medication or wearing lenses for too long. If symptoms recur, it is advisable to have them checked by a contact lens specialist.
Wash and dry your hands before using the bottle. Keep the dropper tip away from your fingers, eye, eyelid, eyelashes, skin and contact lenses to ensure the solution remains as clean as possible. Close the bottle immediately after use and, preferably, do not share it with others; having your own bottle is more hygienic. Do not use the product if the liquid is cloudy or discoloured, the packaging is damaged or the use-by date has passed. Check the usage period after opening on the packaging and, if necessary, note the opening date on the bottle. Discard the bottle if you have any doubts about the hygiene of the dropper tip or if the solution looks different from normal. In a clinical setting, the applicable hygiene guidelines must be followed.
Avizor describes Lacrifresh Cleaning as a product that can clean the lens immediately without having to remove it. However, always check the label and follow the advice of your contact lens specialist.
If you experience pain, redness, persistent blurred vision, sensitivity to light or obvious irritation, you must remove your lenses. Do not use the drops to allow you to continue wearing them.
Follow the instructions on the packaging or the advice of your contact lens specialist. Do not automatically use the drops more often than necessary. If you find yourself needing to use the drops repeatedly to keep your lenses comfortable, it is advisable to have the cause assessed.
It is possible that the lens, solution, wearing time or environment may not be suitable for your eyes.
Do not use Lacrifresh Cleaning to mask red eyes. Red eyes can have various causes, such as dryness, irritation, allergy, infection, a damaged lens or an incorrect lens fit.
If you experience redness whilst wearing contact lenses, it is advisable to remove them and seek advice if the redness persists, is painful or is accompanied by blurred vision, discharge or sensitivity to light.
If you suffer from allergies, lenses may start to feel uncomfortable more quickly due to tears, itching or deposits. Lacrifresh Cleaning can moisturise the lens and help reduce light deposits, but it does not treat allergies.
If you experience clear symptoms of hay fever, itching, swelling or recurring redness, you may need a different product or medical advice. Do not use the drops to mask severe symptoms.
It is best not to wear contact lenses whilst swimming or showering. Water is not compatible with contact lens use. If you do get water in your eyes whilst wearing lenses, remove the lenses and follow the advice of your contact lens specialist. Do not use Lacrifresh Cleaning as a solution to ‘undo’ exposure to water.
Lacrifresh Cleaning is neither a peroxide solution nor a neutraliser. If you use hydrogen peroxide for your lenses, always follow the instructions for the peroxide system and use the special case provided with it.
Do not use Lacrifresh Cleaning as a substitute for neutralisation, cleaning or disinfection. Lenses must not be placed on the eye until the peroxide has been completely neutralised.
No. Do not use Lacrifresh Cleaning as a substitute for lens solution. The drops are intended for use whilst wearing lenses, not for storing or disinfecting them.
If you run out of the correct lens solution, it is best to wear glasses until you have obtained the correct solution. Do not use tap water, saliva or a homemade solution.
Do not mix eye drops or contact lens products on your own initiative. If a contact lens wearer also uses medicinal eye drops, allergy drops or other moisturising drops, seek advice on how best to combine these products. There is often a waiting period required between using different eye products to allow each product to take effect. Therefore, do not use products immediately one after the other without instruction. For medicinal drops, the advice of the prescribing professional takes precedence. Lacrifresh Cleaning is a moisturising and cleansing drop for use between applications and is not intended to replace medicinal drops. If in doubt about the combination or order of use, the contact lens specialist, optician or ophthalmologist will provide advice tailored to the wearer’s situation.
With some eye drops, you may experience temporary blurred vision immediately after instilling them, and it may take a moment for the drop to spread evenly over the lens. Blink gently and wait until your vision is clear again before carrying out any precision work or taking part in road traffic. If your vision remains blurred or if you experience pain, redness or sensitivity to light, remove the lenses and seek advice. Do not use the drops to mask persistent symptoms. A brief, mild sensation after applying the drops may occur, but distinct pain or a persistent burning sensation is not normal. If symptoms worsen, stop using the drops and have your eyes and contact lenses assessed by a professional.
Check the usage period after opening on the packaging and, if necessary, note the opening date on the bottle. Do not use the product after the expiry date or after the specified usage period following opening. Eye products must be used hygienically: keep the dropper tip free from contact and close the bottle immediately after use. Discard the bottle if you have any doubts about the hygiene of the dropper tip or if the liquid appears cloudy, discoloured or different from normal. Store the bottle according to the instructions on the packaging, in a clean place and separate from other products. This ensures the liquid remains effective throughout its shelf life. If you have any doubts about a bottle, replace it.
It is best not to share eye drops with others. The dropper tip may come into contact with skin, eyelashes or the surrounding area. Having your own bottle is more hygienic and keeps things organised.
In a professional setting, always use in accordance with the applicable hygiene guidelines.
Some eye products may cause a brief, mild sensation, but the drops should not cause any obvious pain or a persistent burning sensation. Stop using the product if symptoms worsen or do not subside.
Check that the product is still within its use-by date, that the packaging is intact and that you have used it in accordance with the instructions. Seek advice if irritation persists.
