PuriLens® Operating Instructions
The PuriLens® unit may be set up in any convenient location and
remain plugged in between uses. Be careful not to allow the unit
to remain on a wet surface. Prior to first use, you must run the unit
without your lenses in it. This will thoroughly clean the PuriLens
unit prior to the first time operation with lenses. The travel cap
should always be removed from the cleaning chamber during the
cleaning/disinfecting cycle.
®
1. Wash your hands thoroughly. Remove the
top cover. Remove the clear cleaning
chamber from the base, and remove the
lens holder.
2. Remove your left lens and rinse it with a
steady stream of PuriLens
®
Solution for 10
seconds. Place your left lens in the center
of the raised dome on the side marked “L”.
Close the WHITE lid. Repeat the same steps
for your right lens and close the BLUE lid.

Important Information
Since the PuriLens® System
disinfects your lenses with
germicidal light, it is normal
for the unit to warm up slightly
during operation and to
generate a glow around the
upper part of the unit.
To insure the completion of the
cleaning/disinfection process,
do not interrupt the cycle.
Reactivating of the unit occurs
when the top is removed and
replaced. This will restart the
cycle from the beginning.
Should the indicator light not
turn on, please refer to the
troubleshooting section in this
booklet.
Upon completion of the cycle,
the lenses may remain in the
cleaning chamber for up to 24
hours provided chamber is not
opened.
To avoid potential damage to
your lenses or your eyes, please
follow these important
instructions:
DO NOT OPERATE UNIT WITH
CLEAR TRAVEL LID ON THE
CLEANING CHAMBER.
DO NOT RE-USE SOLUTION.
DO NOT USE TAP WATER.
DO NOT USE SOLUTIONS
WHICH ARE NOT APPROVED
FOR THE PURILENS
®
UNIT.
Insert the lens holder first. Then
fill the chamber with solution.
DO NOT UNDER-FILL OR
OVER-FILL THE CLEANING
CHAMBER.
DO NOT OPERATE THE DEVICE
ON A WET SURFACE.
Should any solution drip from the
device, remove the top, and wipe
the excess solution and restart.
