Features of Megasoft:
- First choice in virtually all indications for bandage lenses
- Use when standard bandage lenses regularly fall out
This lens is especially recommended for protection after glaucoma surgery where a scleral flap has been created to allow aqueous drainage to reduce the pressure in the eye. The Megasoft is also used for symblepharon, or fusion of the conjunctiva of the eyelids with the eyeball. A qualified optometrist, ophthalmologist or contact lens specialist can diagnose this condition.
The Megasoft bandage lens can be worn for a period of up to four weeks. After this period, the lens must be carefully cleaned and disinfected. It is advisable to use two lenses per eye. This allows the lenses to be alternated and there is sufficient time to clean and disinfect the removed lenses. If the lens can no longer be adequately cleaned and disinfected, it should always be replaced.
Before using your soft lenses, always read the package insert that is provided by your contact lens specialist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which contact lens is best for my eyes?
How do I clean my lenses?
It is important to clean your contact lenses daily. The moment you remove your lenses, it is important to clean, rinse and disinfect them with the recommended lens solution as prescribed or advised by your contact lens specialist. Contact lens cases should also be emptied, cleaned and rinsed daily, as they can be a source of bacterial growth. Importantly, lenses, lens cases and other lens-related products should not come into contact with (tap) water because of the increased risk of microbial keratitis.What should I look for in lenses for my child?
