Talk to your doctor, tell him your complaints, and have him PRESCRIBE
a different contact lens care system.

Normally, I would do one of two things for patients like you:

1.  Continue using the OptiFree RepleniSH as indicated, but rinse the
lens off thoroughly with non-preserved saline prior to instillation.
2.  Switch to Ciba's ClearCare.

Hi there,

I, too, was a user of the Complete MoisturePlus Solution. Since
discontinuing its use I've tried Optifree Replenish, Menicon Menicare
Soft and Cibavision Solocare Aqua (called "AQuify" in some countries). I
wasn't satisfied at all with Menicon Menicare, lenses dried out very
quickly early in the day. Optifree Replenish was OK but not great
either. Now I'm gonna stick to Solocare Aqua/Aquify because it gives me
best longterm comfort, not sure if it cleans as good as the others (but
I have only been using it a couple of days so far).
There was also a study (alas financed by Cibavision ;)) which showed
Aquify superior to Optifree:

Quote: "Although a placebo effect can't be ruled out, we believe these
data are compelling."
...so who knows ;). For now I'm gonna go with Aquify. I always rub my
lenses, regardless of what the instructions in the package insert says
as it keeps lenses cleaner:

Haven't had the possibility to try any other solutions. I know B&L makes
a multipurpose one, too, and I hadn't heard about the ones you mentioned
before. In general I would advise to stick to one of the bigger brands
simply because you will find out sooner in case there is a product
recall. And if you travel you can get the product in other countries,
too, if necessary.
There have been some studies about bacteria/amoeba killing efficacy of
the multipurpose systems but right now I can't find any links :/. I
don't think that the differences are big.

It was impossible for me to get a starter set for any peroxide systems
(even though these disinfect very well). Before Complete MoisturePlus I
was using AMO Oxysept Comfort (I think Ultracare in some countries) but
experienced problems with Acuvue Oasys lenses, that's why I switched. I
would like to try a peroxide system again but I guess I would have to
write to the manufacturers to get hold of a starter set.

For your situation, I would simply try what you have now. I've just
looked at the Regard website and it does sound like a very good option -
it would be great if you could report back here once you've tried it
(I've never seen it in stores here, I guess it's only sold in UK?).

I have tried all the one-bottle solutions and still experience
discomfort. My eye doctor gave be some samples of ClearCare (the
peroxide method, with neutralizer) and this seems to work well. I had
tried it before, and it burned my eyes. This time, after overnight
disinfection, I dump out the peroxide liquid, and thoroughly rinse and
soak the lenses (fill the case apparatus) with non-preserved saline
solution. I do this for at least 1/2 hour in the morning before
putting the lenses in my eyes--and this has resolved the burning
problem.
