What is Menicon Progent? Menicon Progent is a powerful fortnightly cleaner for rigid gas permeable (GP) contact lenses, including your orthokeratology lenses. It removes protein buildup and disinfects your ortho-k lenses, ensuring they stay comfortable and clean.

Why Use Menicon Progent? Regular use of Menicon Progent helps keep your Ortho-k lenses comfortable and extends their life. It is recommended to use it every two weeks.

What’s in Menicon Progent? Menicon Progent consists of two parts: Progent A (sodium hypochlorite) and Progent B (potassium bromide). When mixed, these components create a reaction that cleans and disinfects your Ortho-k lenses.
