I am wearling "Flexible Wear" torics from CooperVision as daily-wear.
I swap them with a new pair every quarter.  I figured when I switched
to disposables, I would have an easier time with cleaning.  This does
not seem to be the case.

I am glad to see AOSept back on the market, but I sure wish the
multipurpose solutions worked better for me.

Due to a manufacturing plant closure, CIBA solutions were off the
market for about 6 months, coming back in now.

Are you using disposable lenses?   The multipurpose solutions are
primarily for disposable lenses that will be thrown out before they get
dirty.  If using a non disposable, you really do need to use a multi
solution system with cleaner, soaking, rinsing and protein tab such as
AOSept or UltraCare.

I have used AOSept for decades.  The stuff works, but I do consider it
expensive and a pain in the a.s to use as part of a multi-step contact
lens maintenance regimen.

Recently, AOSept has been impossible to obtain, forcing me to "test"
other methods.  I figured it was time to give multipurpose solutions a
try.

I tried Aquify, ReNu, Opti-Free, and Complete Moisture Plus.  I found
none of them allowed me to wear my contacts comfortably through an
entire day of activity.  I have no clue why.

I tried "Clear Care" two years ago, but had similar results to the
multipurpose solutions I recently tested.

I find with the multipurpose solutions, by the end of the day my vision
becomes very blurry.  I believe this is due to build-up on the lenses,
because when I put my glasses back on I am fine.   Sometimes this 'end
of the day' buildup makes my lenses downright uncomfortable. After
soaking the lenses overnight, they are pretty much back to 'normal' the
next day.

I found the Aquify product was the most comfortable, followed by the
Complete.  But I had to remove my contacts a good 4 hours earlier with
all of them than my experience with AOSept due to deteriorating vision
quality.  I also notice when I wake up in the morning I have a
significant amount of 'debris' or 'yellowish sleep eye deposits' on my
lashes that do not exist when I use AOSept.

I tried to follow the directions as indicated for each product.  I
added an additional cleaning step using MiraFlow or equivalent, and an
extra rinse with saline before inserting.  I get the same result every
time.  Towards the end of the day my contacts are very blurry.

Am I doing something wrong?  With the popularity of multipurpose
solutions, is anyone else having this problem?  Is there some secret
trick or other product that might help, or should I just go back to the
hassle of AOSept now that it is appearing back on the shelves?
