Contacts last much longer
The Opti-Free "Express" is much more comfortable than "Replenish" and "Puremoist." I wear my contacts 16+ hours a day and do not feel them when I use the "Express." I've used other brands such as Biotru and Renu when the stores no longer carried the Opti-Free Express. I always get this irritating and uncomfortable feel with other brands, even with Replenish and Puremoist. My contacts also last twice as long when I use the Express to soak and clean. Just glad Opti-Free has not discontinued the Express.

Good solution but makes lenses rather hard to place
I've been buying a generic store brand of solution for nearly two decades, until the retail chain recently went out of business. So I figured I'd try this brand instead. It does what it claims--cleans and disinfects lenses--but I've had a MUCH harder time getting my contact lenses in with it. For 20 years I could get them in on the first try 90% of the time, and with this solution it takes me 5-10 attempts before the lens is seated. I could lose 4 fingers and still count on one hand the number of times I got the lens in on the first try, when using this solution. Either it slips right off my eye the first time I blink, or doesn't come away from my fingertip. It works, don't get me wrong, just plan on being in the bathroom a few extra minutes.

This is the only contact solution that I ever want to use.
I. Love. This. Product. Please, please, please with a cherry on top, don’t discontinue it! This is the only solution that I have used that keeps my contacts feeling comfortable all day.

Check your bottles immediately
Made the mistake of not checking both bottles. Used one, it was fine. The second one was possibly tampered with. The safety seal was partially open and the cap was cracked and partially missing underneath. Writing this simply because I'm angry. It is being the 30 days to return now and it looks like they aren't selling this product anymore so no one is going to care...

Last chances for Opti-Free Express. It's been discontinued.
I've used this product for 20 years. It will be disappearing because it's been discontinued and replaced by an "improved" version. I like the old version better.

relief!
I've been wearing contacts for the last 7 years now and from time to time have issues with my eyes drying out while I'm at work anywhere between 3pm-5pm.It never once dawned on me that it might have something to do with the random way I've purchased disinfecting solution in the past.I got a Prime membership quite on accident (forgot about the trial membership ending and after paying for it, though, well... what the heck?!) and decided to give being a Prime member a go. And I've MORE than gotten my money's worth.Living in NYC and not having a car, I'm constantly tasked with the annoying chore of getting everything I buy back to my apartment. Prime is the perfect solution to my lifestyle because I now have everything I need on Subscribe & Save and not only do I not have to lug so much stuff back home on my back, things are significantly cheaper on Amazon considering my shipping is a sunk cost via Prime.Anyway, I came across this brand simply because I decided it was one more thing I could avoid going to the drugstore for, and I ordered this because it had good reviews and the price was right. After using for a few days, I have to say, all those years of buying cheap store brand sanitizer must've been the cause for my dry 3pm eyes, and I'm now an Opti-Free convert.Also, I feel less frequent compulsion to throw out my contacts after a few weeks since they don't turn uncomfortable as quickly as they used to. Anyway, this stuff seems like it might be saving me money in the long-run since it's giving my lenses a longer shelf life!

I Can Now Leave My Contacts in Longer!
Before I bought this contact solution I was not loyal to any one brand. I had tried many types of solutions and I would always end up taking my contacts out around 7 pm because they were hurting my eyes so badly. Since I have been using Opti-Free, I have been amazed that I have been able to go long into the night before I have to take out my lenses. It is nice to be able to go to a late movie and not have to carry glasses in case my contacts hurt my eyes to badly. I have also noticed a difference when I put in my contacts in the morning. Before I would have to rinse off the contacts after they had soaked all night because debris would still be on them. I am actually waiting after I put my contacts in for the usual grittiness. I will be purchasing from Amazon again because of the quality of the product and the price.

Comfortable, no irritation or film
There are only two brands I find don’t irritate my eyes in some way and this is one of them. These bottles are too large to take on a plane but travel fine otherwise
