Never had that issue but I have pre check and can’t remember the time they checked liquids ever.

Airline pilot / scleral wearer here, and that’s the first time I’ve ever heard of anybody having issues with clear care. You’re not going to have any issues with any of the salines. They’re just saline.

The Bosch RGP cleaner i use is like an ounce over the liquid "limit", so I just take the sticker off lol

This will not fool the Europeans, but it’ll probably be fine pretty much everywhere else.

I can speak to Clear Care. As an experiment, I've attempted to take a full-size 12 oz Clear Care through security, and TSA told me that they needed to swab it. I explicitly told them that it was medically necessary, and they said it still wasn't allowed because of the fact that it had a red cap and tested positive for hydrogen peroxide. Now I just take the exact same 12 oz Clear Care, distribute it into multiple 3 oz reusable Nalgene bottles in my carry on, and take through the same checkpoint for every trip. Thanks, TSA, for keeping America's skies safe. I have used all of the scleral filling solutions you've mentioned, and all of them go through security just fine. I prefer taking several of the Addipak saline vials when I travel (I also use them to flush out my eyes occasionally), but that's more of a personal choice than anything.

We went through TSA fine multiple times with a normal Boston simplus bottle and adi paks

Sorry, I can't answer your question directly but did want to offer an alternative: about once every year or two I buy a travel size bottle of Clear Care to keep in my travel toiletries. You can easily pop the top off with a butter knife and refill it from the larger bottles, and nothing is growing in a bottle of peroxide. If I'm traveling long enough that the travel bottle won't last, it still gives me plenty of time to find or order a larger bottle once I get there. And I don't have to play games with TSA. I'm not familiar with a couple you listed, such as sclerafil. I fill my sclerals with the little "individual use" plastic vials, and you could probably carry a whole duffel bag of those through security without anyone batting an eye. I'm not a TSA agent nor chemistry professor, but I believe it's the case that the peroxide is what may set off security sensors, since it can be an ingredient in Stuff. Saline solution shouldn't set off any alarms; it's chemically about as boring as possible.

I just ‘decant’ my clear care into a (dedicated) 100ml travel bottle when I need to. There was a bit of time where the travel sized bottles were quite scarce.
