Tangible Hydra-PEG is a surface coating that is applied to lenses when they are manufacturered. This mean that when you are being fit for brand new lenses, you will need to request that your practitioner orders them with Tangible Hydra-PEG.

We recommend speaking with your eye care practitioner about adding Tangible Hydra-PEG to your new scleral, RGP, or hybrid contact lenses to improve their comfort.

The following contact lens care solutions will not damage the Tangible Hydra-PEG coating:Tangible® Clean, Boston Simplus, Unique PH, Clear CareClear, and Care with Hydra-Glyde.Any care solutions not listed above should be considered incompatible with the Tangible Hydra-PEG coating and will run the risk of damaging or destroying the coating.

Wetting drops and artificial tears should not damage the Tangible Hydra-PEG coating. However, please consult with your practitioner to ensure that those products are safe to use with contact lenses.

It is safe to use the suction cup-style insertion/removal tools with coated lenses. However, during use, try to minimize the force placed upon the coated lens by the tool, to avoid damage.

Never store coated lenses dry. The process of dehydrating and rehydrating the coating may damage or destroy it.

Prescription eye drops should always be instilled prior to inserting contacts or after removing contacts. This is true for any type of prescription eye drop to ensure your eye is receiving the full benefits of the drop. Speak to your practitioner about the preferred timing of using any prescription drops as there will be specific recommendations based on the type of drop and your specific ocular health and history.

Lenses coated with Tangible Hydra-PEG can be rubbed with multi-purpose solution during cleaning, but vigorous rubbing should be avoided to avoid damaging the coating.

Hydra-PEG coated lenses must be stored wet using one of the compatible multi-purpose solutions. It is important to remember to change the storage solution every 30 days and to be mindful of the expiration date of the solution. Each time you change the solution, clean the case as well. This is for ANY of the solutions you choose from the approved list.

While the coating is permanently bonded to lenses and designed to last for their lifetime, various factors may impact the durability of its benefits including:A patient’s tear composition (i.e. heavy depositors), use of incompatible cleansers or rewetting drops, vigorous rubbing of lenses during cleaning, use of tap water, storing lenses dry or without compatible solution.The use of compatible solutions like Tangible Clean will ensure that you are not using an incompatible cleaner. Monthly use of Tangible Boost will also restore the Tangible Hydra-PEG coating, protecting your coated lenses from normal wear.

Never rinse or rub your Tangible Hydra-PEG coated lenses with tap water. Water alone does not offer the benefits of surfactants and lubricants contained in contact lens solutions which could damage the coating. Additionally, exposure to tap water may increase the risk of eye infection or irritation.

It is safe to rinse coated lenses with sterile saline, but patients should avoid rubbing coated lenses with saline. Rubbing a coated lens with pure saline that does not contain any surfactants or lubricants may damage the coating.

Yes! Tangible Clean is approved for use with any gas permeable, scleral, or hybrid contact lens. Your contact lenses do not need to be coated in Tangible Hydra-PEG in order to use Tangible Clean.

No! Tangible Clean is not a scleral filling solution, so it cannot be used to fill the bowl of your lens prior to insertion. Only use Tangible Clean to clean, rinse, disinfect, store, or condition.

Tangible Clean is an ultra-thin cleaner that rinses off easily and leaves less preservatives on the surface of your lenses. This potentially avoids irritation and other problems associated with thicker cleaning solutions. Tangible Clean also helps protect the Tangible Hydra-PEG coating from damage, unlike other abrasive lens cleaners.

Use varies from patient to patient depending on their cleaning regimen. On average we have seen that a 12 fl. oz. bottle of Tangible Clean will last two months of regular use.

Tangible Clean is a sterile, isotonic solution that contains poloxamer, sodium phosphate buffer, sodium chloride, and disodium edetate; preserved with polyhexanide 0.0001%. Tangible Clean contains no chlorhexidine or thimerosal.

Tangible Clean is the recommended solution to clean Tangible Hydra-PEG coated lenses with, but can also be used with any uncoated rigid gas permeable, scleral, or hybrid lens.

We offer options of purchasing Tangible Clean either as a one time non-subscription purchase, or in a subscription. With subscription you get to choose exactly how many bottles you'd like in which monthly frequency. By subscribing you receive product discounts, and free shipping.

If you are looking for a travel size bottle, we offer a travel pack which comes with two 3.4 fl oz bottles of Tangible Clean.

No. Tangible Boost is not approved for use with hybrid contact lenses coated with Tangible Hydra-PEG.

No! Tangible Boost does not work on lenses that are not coated with Tangible Hydra-PEG.

Tangible Boost works by binding to the layer of Tangible Hydra-PEG already present on the lens. If there is no layer of Tangible Hydra-PEG present, then Tangible Boost will not be able to bind.

These Step by Step instructions are printed on every box of Tangible Boost, and are also included in an instruction handout in every box.

Step 1: Combine both Tangible Boost solutions into Tangible Boost case.

Step 2: Clean lenses by rubbing in Tangible Clean multipurpose cleaning and disinfecting solution for 20 seconds.

Step 3: Soak lenses in Tangible Boost solution for 30 minutes.
Step 4: Dispose of Tangible Boost solution, fill Boost case with Tangible Clean, and submerge lenses for 20 seconds to rinse.

Step 5: Disinfect in Tangible Clean overnight using a standard lens case. Dispose of single use Boost case. Do NOT put lenses in eyes prior to disinfection with multipurpose solution.

Tangible Boost is meant to prolong the peak performance of the Tangible Hydra-PEG coating. One of the benefits of Hydra-PEG is that it will help lenses be more resistant to deposits building up on the lens. However, it will not cause a reduction in the amount of protein and other lipids your eye creates. Tangible Boost works best when it is used from the beginning of new lens wear. If your lenses were older when you started using Boost, or, you have not used Boost consistently, your results may not be as significant. Make sure your practitioner is aware of any new symptoms you experience with your eyes or contact lenses.

Since Tangible Boost is a prescription product per the FDA, we must verify that each patient who orders Tangible Boost is doing so with a valid prescription from a practitioner eligible to prescribe it. This process allows us to be able to offer online access to purchase Tangible Boost and is usually very fast.
