Has Ciba Vision discontinued its ';Clear Care'; contact lens solution?

I use ';Clear Care'; for my contact lenses and I love it! But I've been to about 10 different stores here in Central Florida and can't find it anywhere! I even asked a clerk at CVS if she knew anything about it and she thought that the product had been discontinued, but didn't know how to confirm it. Any help would be appreciated!Has Ciba Vision discontinued its ';Clear Care'; contact lens solution?
No, they haven't discontinued it, but according to the automated message on their hotline, the plant that manufactures it is going through some sort of equipment upgrade, and so it won't be on the shelves again until the beginning of April.





I was freaking out myself thinking they'd done something stupid like discontinued it, because I'd gone to like 10 stores in L.A. myself trying to find the darn stuff. I can't use the other manufacturer's brands because they use preservatives, so I was really worried and called Ciba Vision to find out what in flipping hell was going on. :-)





It really blows having to wait, but if you can hold out until April, all will be good. Better than having it disappear completely though. I just hope they don't change the formula or anything, because I really rely on it.Has Ciba Vision discontinued its ';Clear Care'; contact lens solution?
Well, in the mean time, you could go to Ebay. I've seen a lot of people selling it with the starting bit at $0.99. Why not, right?

Ciba's website doesn't say anything about it being discontinued. You may want to ask your eye doctor if he/she has heard anything recently. http://www.us.cibavision.com/lens_care/c鈥?/a>
