Klean & Kare Sensiplus Solution

Klean & Kare Sensiplus Solution is a multi-purpose soft contact lens care solution sold in Malaysia in a 500ml plus 100ml combination pack, and separately as a 100ml bottle bundled with a lens case. It is formulated as an all-in-one lens solution built on a buffered saline base (sodium chloride, sodium borate and citrate buffers) with a cleaning and disinfecting system that includes poloxamer (a surfactant) and edetate disodium, together with HPMC and PEG as lubricating, wetting agents.

As a multi-purpose contact lens solution, Klean & Kare Sensiplus Solution sits in the personal eye-care category and is sold OTC (Over-the-Counter) in Malaysia, meaning it can be purchased without needing a doctor’s prescription. It is intended to combine several lens-care steps — cleaning, disinfecting, rinsing, lubricating and protein removal — into a single solution, which distinguishes it from single-purpose products such as plain saline rinse or preservative-free sterile saline sprays.

The solution is sold in more than one pack configuration to suit different usage patterns: a compact 100ml bottle (often supplied with a free lens case) for travel or short-term use, and a larger 500ml refill bottle paired with a 100ml bottle for regular daily wearers who need a longer-lasting supply. Always check the batch number and expiry date printed on the bottle before use.

Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before handling contact lenses or the solution. Remove one lens and place it in the palm of your hand, apply a few drops of Klean & Kare Sensiplus Solution, and rub the lens gently on both sides for about 20 seconds. Rinse both surfaces of the lens thoroughly with fresh solution to remove loosened debris and protein film.

Place the rinsed lens into the corresponding well of a clean lens case and fill completely with fresh solution — never reuse or top up solution already in the case. Repeat the same steps for the other lens. Allow the lenses to soak for the minimum disinfection time stated on the pack (commonly several hours, or overnight) before wearing them again. This solution is for external use on contact lenses only and must never be swallowed or injected.

Not applicable in the medicine sense — Klean & Kare Sensiplus Solution is a contact lens care solution, not an oral or injectable medicine, so there is no drug dose or daily intake limit to follow. Use a fresh fill of solution in the lens case every time lenses are stored, and replace the lens case itself every one to three months, or sooner if it becomes cracked, cloudy or discoloured.

If lenses are accidentally left soaking for longer than the manufacturer’s recommended maximum storage time, rinse and re-disinfect with fresh solution before wearing. If the solution is accidentally splashed in the eye and causes ongoing stinging, redness or blurred vision, rinse the eye with clean water and seek advice from a pharmacist, optometrist or doctor.

Use Klean & Kare Sensiplus Solution before the expiry date printed on the bottle and outer packaging. As with most multi-purpose lens solutions, an opened bottle is generally intended to be used within a limited period after first opening (commonly around one to three months) rather than for the full shelf life printed on the unopened pack — check the cap or label for any ‘discard after opening’ date and do not use the solution beyond that point, even if the printed expiry date has not yet passed.

Store the bottle upright, tightly capped, at room temperature and away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep it out of the reach of children, and avoid letting the tip of the bottle touch your eyes, lenses, fingers or any other surface to reduce the risk of contamination. Do not use the solution if it appears cloudy, discoloured, or if the seal was broken or tampered with before first use.

• Common: Mild, temporary stinging or a burning sensation immediately after applying fresh lenses.
• Common: Temporary dryness or a feeling of mild irritation in the first few uses as the eyes adjust.
• Common: Slight blurring of vision for a few seconds after insertion, which usually clears quickly.
• Serious: Persistent eye pain, redness, excessive tearing, light sensitivity or discharge — remove the lenses immediately and seek prompt attention from a pharmacist, optometrist or doctor, as these can be early signs of an eye infection.
• Serious: Sudden or worsening blurred vision that does not resolve after removing the lenses — stop lens wear and seek medical attention.

• Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the solution, including edetate disodium, poloxamer or the preservative system.
• Active eye infection, inflammation, or any eye injury — do not insert lenses or use the solution until the eye has been assessed and cleared by a doctor or optometrist.
• Solution that appears cloudy, discoloured, or has an unusual odour, or where the bottle seal was broken or tampered with before first use.
• Not for oral ingestion, injection, or use on broken or non-intact skin.

• Klean & Kare Sensiplus Solution is applied externally to contact lenses and the surface of the eye only, and is not absorbed into the bloodstream in any meaningful amount, so no systemic drug interactions are expected.
• If other eye drops or ocular medications are prescribed, remove contact lenses before applying them (unless your doctor specifically advises otherwise) and wait until any recommended interval has passed before reinserting lenses soaked in this solution.
• No food interactions apply, as this is not an oral or ingested product.

• Always wash and dry your hands before handling lenses or the solution bottle.
• Use a fresh fill of solution every time — never top up or reuse solution left in the lens case.
• Replace your lens case every one to three months, even if it looks clean.
• Never rinse lenses or the lens case with tap water or saliva.
• Keep the bottle cap closed between uses and avoid touching the tip to any surface.
• Note the ‘discard after opening’ date on the cap or label, separate from the printed expiry date.

Precautions: Contact lens wearers who are pregnant or breastfeeding can generally continue routine lens care as normal, but should mention any new eye dryness or discomfort to their doctor or optometrist. Children and first-time lens wearers should only handle lenses and solution under adult or professional supervision until they are confident with the cleaning and insertion routine. People with sensitive eyes or a history of eye allergies should patch-test with a single lens first and monitor for irritation before full use.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Stop wearing your lenses and seek prompt advice from a pharmacist, optometrist or doctor if you experience persistent eye pain, redness, unusual discharge, excessive tearing, light sensitivity, or blurred vision that does not clear shortly after removing the lenses. Also seek advice if you accidentally swallow the solution, or if you are unsure whether this multi-purpose solution is compatible with your specific lens type.
