Miraflow

Postby Lesley Foster » Mon 03 Jul 2006 9:45 am

Hi All,

Has anyone else had difficulty getting hold of Miraflow lens cleaner? I haven't seen it in my chemist recently and it doesn't seem to be available online.

Any suggestions as to a suitable replacement would be most welcome.

Many thanks

Lesley.
Live long and Prosper.

Thanks Andrew,

I checked the link however it would appear that Miraflow isn't available at the moment for whatever reason.

If you're wearing RGP Sclerals, then you can use any RGP cleaner until Miraflow (wonderful stuff!) is back in production.

Hi there,
You're not going to like this.
The reason you can't get hold of Miraflow is that the makers (Ciba Vision) have closed down their production because of contamination.

I only ever use Ciba's saline and am allergic to other types of saline and this has been a nightmare for me. However, I have found an alternative (Green bottle Amo Lens Plus, not easy to come by).

I used to use Miraflow myself. I'm afraid you're going to have to find an alternative, my dear.

Have you tried LC 65 instead? It's preservative free.
Failing that, have you tried Ebay to see if there's any freefloating Mirafow stock?
Keep looking for rainbows.

Many thanks for the help.

BusyLizzie, try garden.co.uk they appear to have the saline that you use.

Hopefully it won't be long before Miraflow is back with us.

Cheers all,

Lesley.
Live long and Prosper.
