Contact lens care that survives the drive home.

By the time a new wearer gets home, most of the aftercare talk is gone. LensGuide is the guide that goes with them — a free-standing link you hand over at dispensing, tailored to their exact lens and solution, with your practice's number on every emergency screen.

Why LensGuide exists

The teach was perfect. The memory wasn't.

Contact lens complications are overwhelmingly complications of compliance — sleeping in lenses, tap water, topped-up solution, stretched daily disposables. LensGuide exists to keep your instructions alive between visits, in plain language a nervous new wearer can actually follow.

  1. You hand over one linkAt dispensing or aftercare — a free-standing link or QR, like ColourCheck. No patient record, no login, nothing to install.
  2. The guide asks two questionsWhat they wear and what they clean with — in photographs and plain words, with "I'm not sure" never a dead end.
  3. Everything after that fits themDailies never see solution instructions. Ortho-K wearers get their own version of the sleep rule. The guide reads like it was written for their box on their bathroom shelf.

Every patient-facing word goes through optometrist review before it reaches a wearer — including the judgement calls, like how to talk to the patient who is going to swim in their lenses anyway.

The heart of the product

Five rules, five words patients remember

Each rule is one line, the reason why, and the lever to pull — always on the same screen. The one-word anchors get reused across the whole product, so the troubleshooting library speaks the same language.

Rule 1 · Hands

Wash and dry, every time

Almost everything that causes a serious eye infection arrives on a finger. Drying matters as much as washing — and sanitiser is not a substitute.

Rule 2 · Sleep

Never sleep in lenses

The single largest avoidable risk — and it renders differently for ortho-K wearers, whose lenses are designed for exactly that, on your prescription only.

Rule 3 · Water

All water. Every kind.

The rule we'd keep if we could only keep one: no rinsing, no storing, no showering or swimming in lenses — and why Acanthamoeba earns the fear.

Rule 4 · Fresh

Fresh solution, fresh lens

Topping up is storing lenses in liquid that has already done its work. Daily wearers get their own version: a new pair every morning, never twice.

Rule 5 · Stop

Painful. Red. Phone us.

The four signs of serious infection, what to do right now, and your practice's number — plus the after-hours instruction you configure.

Beyond the rules

The "something happened" library

I fell asleep in my lenses. It's stuck. I swam. Troubleshooting entries that answer the 10pm panic without a phone call — and say clearly when to make one.

The practice layer

Your name on the advice, your number on the emergency

Branded to your practice

Practice name, phone number and after-hours instruction flow through the whole guide — captured once when you subscribe, shown wherever a patient needs to act.

A compliance tool, not a records tool

LensGuide is a free-standing link — it sits in front of the patient, not behind a login. It exists to help wearers do the right thing, and to send the wrong thing straight back to your chair.

Every lens type covered

Dailies, two-weekly and monthly softs, RGPs, ortho-K, sclerals, torics, multifocals and cosmetics — each with its own branch, plus multipurpose and peroxide solution paths.

The risks, honestly

No scare tactics and no false comfort: what actually goes wrong, how rarely, and why the rules exist — written so patients trust the guide enough to open it again.

Pricing

One plan. No surprises.

FAQ

Common questions

Is it tied to my patient records?

No. LensGuide is deliberately a free-standing link, like ColourCheck — you hand it over and the patient uses it at home. It's a compliance and education tool, not a records system, so there is nothing to integrate and nothing to maintain.

Does it replace my aftercare teach?

No — it reinforces it. Patients forget most of what they're told before they get home; LensGuide repeats your instructions in plain language, in their pocket, at the moment they're actually holding the lens. The emergency path always ends the same way: take it out and phone the practice.

What about ortho-K and daily disposable wearers?

The entry flow asks what they wear, so the rules adapt. Ortho-K wearers see the overnight version of the sleep rule; daily wearers see "a new pair every morning" instead of solution care. Nobody reads instructions that don't apply to them.

Can I review the wording before my patients see it?

Yes — that's the point. Every patient-facing word is written to be reviewed and signed off by an optometrist before launch, including the genuine clinical judgement calls, like the harm-reduction line for patients who will swim in lenses regardless.
