Renu Multiplus 120ml Lens Solution

Boric acid, the active ingredient in HYDRANATE 0.0003 Lens Solution, primarily acts as a buffering and disinfecting agent. Its mechanism of action involves maintaining the pH balance of the solution, which is crucial for the comfort and safety of contact lens wearers. Boric acid has a mild antimicrobial effect, helping to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi on the lens surface. It achieves this by disrupting microbial cell membranes and interfering with their metabolic processes. Additionally, boric acid contributes to the solution's ability to lubricate and moisturize the eye, providing comfort and reducing irritation during lens wear. By creating a stable and mildly acidic environment, boric acid plays a vital role in ensuring the effectiveness and safety of the lens solution.
