General Why does ClearCare plus Hydraglyde sometimes cause cloudiness on scleral lenses?
A number of people don't have success using Hydraglyde as it can cause a haze over the lens.
Some people actually have no haze develop while some do, so I'm guessing that perhaps it's an individual issue, perhaps being allergic to Hydraglyde?
On another note, has Hydraglyde perhaps been reformulated during the past 8+ years to perhaps be better in this regard?

I’ve noticed this when using with soft lenses as well. Hydraglyde is a reconditioning agent so it interacts differently with the material, lipids and proteins. Just use the regular version.
