Since we came to the United States I've been using
renu fresh multi-purpose solution as my lens solution. I had been using renu back in Turkey so it was a brand that I trusted. However, I was having a burning feeling in my eyes when I put on my lenses in the mornings. Also I sometimes would have watery eyes during the day. I always blamed myself that the lenses were getting old and I should change them but I learned that this wasn't the case.

CVS no rub disinfecting
lens care solution |
I have been using
CVS no rub disinfecting lens care solution for 10 days and I am much happier. My eyes do not burn in the mornings and rarely get watery. However, I don't think it is fair to compare them because they have different ingredients and usage directions. I originally bought the CVS lens solution for my husband but he found it inconvenient. Due to the ingredients of the CVS lens solution you cannot rub your lens with the solution and directly wear them. The lenses have to be put in a special lens case that contains a neutralizing disc and you have to wait at least 6 hours before you can wear them (CVS's product also gives 1 free lens case with neutralizing disc). Well, you can wear them without waiting for 6 hours but you have to buy a saline solution that you can use to clean the contact lenses with before you actually put on the contact lenses. Compared to all the lens solutions I've known and used the product I got from CVS is different, you cannot clean your lens and put them in your eyes immediately. There are other well known brands that are similar to this lens solution type I'm currently using. I have to say though, CVS's lens solution was very cheap, $4.19 and I'm so far satisfied with it. You can also buy a pair of
CVS saline solution for $2.69 but I haven't tried their saline solution yet since I've been waiting for 6 hours before putting my lenses on.
