Alcon Opti Free Express

Pros: No rub, does a good job of cleaning lenses, no burning
Cons: Pricey for a lens solution

When I first started using contact lenses a few years ago, the only contact lens solution I ever used was Renu or the store knock-off of Renu. Recently, I switched to 02 Optix lenses, and my optometrist instructed me to switch to Opti-Free ...

Pros: No rub formula, disinfects, kills germs that can cause infection, safe for all soft lenses
Cons: Can’t tell any real difference between this and Bausch & Lomb’s ReNu.

I am a procrastinator. If I can put something off for even a few hours without it causing too much trouble, chances are I will. I put off seeing my optometrist for a long time but when I ran out of soft contact lenses and realized my prescription ...

Pros: Cleans and disinfects, Extremely simple to use
Cons: One minor bad experience (see review for details)

I owned my first ever pair of disposable contacts (Acuvue 2) almost one year ago and have been extremely impressed and satisfied. Who ever would have known that two dime-sized pieces of see-thru material could change the way you view this planet? Not me....

Pros: It's convienient to carry around and lasts a long time.
Cons: None that I can think of.

I got contacts because I wanted a different look. I’ve grown facial hair, combed my hair differently and so on. Nothing seemed to work. As well, dying my hair and getting tattoos and piercings is out of the question. With that being the case, I ...

Pros: it works, easy to use
Cons: might be irritating to very sensitive eyes

The main reason I purchased Opti-Free Express is because of the "enhanced disinfecting formula". You see, about 6 months ago I developed 3 consecutive, somewhat severe eye infections. When I finally got rid of them, I knew that was something I...

Pros: I can see clear!
Cons: none

Wearing contacts can be a pain...unless you treat them right.


Ten years ago my optometrist said I needed glasses. At first, I thought "oh neat, I can have a new image". Well it wasn't long before I HATED my...

Pros: Contacts stay comfortable longer, no rubbing, gets rid of protein build up.
Cons: Expensive.

I have been wearing disposable contacts for about six years. The first thing that my doctor gave me when I got my contacts was a bottle of Alcon Opti-Free Express. He told me that Alcon was the easiest cleaning solution to use, and one of the best ...

Pros: no burning, very comfortable with Acuvue lenses.
Cons: Expensive

Ever do something so stupid that you feel like a dope? I mean, you look back and say, "WHAT WAS I THINKING?" or NOT thinking??? Well this past few weeks, I have had such an experience. I have been wearing contact lenses for quite a few years. The ...

Pros: does not burn sensitive eyes, one solution for everything
Cons: none

I hate cleaning my contact lenses. I am lazy so I only do it when I am getting to where I can not see. When it comes to a cleaner I want quick and easy. When I saw this in the store I decided to give it a try. I am so glad that I did.

This...

Pros: one bottle for lens cleaning
Cons: some people might experience irritation

This has to be one of the best contact lens products out on the market. Opti-Free Express is definitely the best solution I have ever used, and I have tried several.

When I first started wearing contact lenses 10 years ago, my doctor started...

Pros: Comfort, ease of use, price
Cons: None, except it looks like it is being phased out.

I have only been wearing contact lenses for three years, so I might not be an expert. That being said, I suffer from severe dry eye (due to corneal problems) and have tried several other solutions. They all left a slight burning sensation when I first ...

Pros: Multi-purpose convenience. Comfort that lasts!!
Cons: Expensive!

I have worn contacts for 11 years now and I have not tried a better disinfectant/multi-purpose solution than Opti-Free Express. Actually, amazingly enough Alcon Laboratories actually improved their Opti-Free Express No Rub solution. It is now marketed u ...

Pros: Your contacts have never felt cleaner! The No-Rub variety is excellent!
Cons: You’ll pay a little extra…but it's worth it, believe me.

My Contacts and I
I started wearing contacts a little over a year ago after submitting to glasses for about a year and a half. I’m nearsighted (runs in the family) and probably should have started using vision correction even earlier, but...

Pros: easy to use, very little time to clean
Cons: recently found stickiness on bottle and case (maybe AO-FE?)

BEFORE ALCON OPTI-FREE EXPRESS

Five years ago glasses stopped being cool and so after much whining I convinced my mother to let me get contact lenses. Little did I know that over the next four years, hours a month would be wasted because...

Pros: convenient, easy, works well
Cons: Pricey, may have to supplement occasionally with cleaner

When I got my last pair of contact lenses, with a new optometrist, he recommended using Alcon Opti-Free Express for cleaning, rinsing and disinfecting. Though this is pretty darn expensive (around $7.00 a bottle), it does the job pretty well.
