I'm getting my first set of contacts next week, and I was wondering if
there were any opinions regarding the following solutions:

Opti-Free Express
ReNu MultiPlus
CIBA Vision Clear Care

Can anyone tell me which one is the most gentle/least irritating?

Thanks.

Many people use the first two products (or the other multipurpose
solutions) without problems, but some are sensitive to the residual
chemicals. For those who do experience symptoms, CIBA Clear Care
(AOSept Plus in E.U. and many other places outside the U.S.), Sauflon
One Step and Ultracept are the answer. These are hydrogen peroxide-based
disinfecting products They have very little or no residual chemicals
that can cause irritation -- unless you get the unneutralized product
directly in your eye.

BTW, even though the say "no rub", do. A little gentle rubbing in the
solution (whatever you choose) will go a long way providing cleaner
lenses.

LB, O.D.

I've used Renu MultiPlus (yes, I rub) and the Target, Rite-Aid and
Costco clones with no irritation at all and apparently no protein
deposits on my lenses, according to my last fitter who looked at my
lenses under a microscope.

Why is it so hot and what am I doing in this handbasket?

I wore contact lenses for more than 20 years. I used all of the above as
well as cheaper CVS & Rite-Aid clones. My eyes didn't sense any difference
whatsoever.
