With so many contact lens cleaning and multi-purpose solutions on the market, it is difficult to find the right one. We have looked at some of the popular solutions. These lens solutions have been tested on patients wearing Acuvue Oasys contact lenses.
The test - conducted by the Staining Grid Center - is measuring the level of staining (an indicator of lens biocompatibility) 2 hours after insertion. For more information about the test procedure check out staininggrid.com. We are sure, there are other excellent products on the market but we decided to pick the top branded solutions for Acuvue Oasys based on Gary Andrasko's staininggrid site. So, how did we pick them? They are all in the green zone and are showing less than 10% of staining.

User Comments
Alcon Solution
"I am currently using the Alcon Opti-Clean solution and I love it. My lenses don't dry out too often; I leave them in all day without putting any eye drops in them and it doesn't feel uncomfortable. There's no rubbing required which makes it easier to clean your lenses. Best solution out there!"

Opti Free Replenish use with Acuvue Oasys lenses"I started to experience an almost conjuncitivitis like infection. Watery eyes/ blurry vision/ VERY DRY and splitting of corners of eyes. Spoke with my Dr. and was told they have been hearing many similar stories from other patients. I was told to discontinue use of Opti-Free Replenish. Posted by: Sara Akins
