Question : What is the best contact lens solution to use for sensitive eyes?
I use disposable soft lenses and change them monthly as recommended. I love wearing contacts, but I have a lot of trouble with my eyes getting dry and irritated. I’ve been using Renu Moisture Solution and it hasn’t made a difference. Any suggestions on a solution that may help?

“hydraclear” is the brand name of the group of materials that the new acuvue contact lenses are made of. “hydraclear” is not a contact lens SOLUTION.
IMO by far the most “hypoallergenic” and sensitive-eyes contact lens solution is CLEAR CARE by ciba:

(its also the best cleaner IMO)

Your best bet would be to try all the solutions available in your area one by one and see which feels the best. Eye chemistry is very individual and just because something is supposed to be extra moist doesn’t mean it will work for you. Drink lots of water to keep your body, eyes included well hydrated and carry rewetting drops with your just in case.

My recommendation would be Clear Care based on the following studies:
- AQuify looks good. Unfortunately, according to one 1995 study, the polyhexanide has no anti-acanthamoebic activity below .0005%.
- ReNu’s active ingredient (polyaminopropyl biguanide) as well as Opti-Free’s (polyquaternium-1) were cited in another 1995 study as completely ineffective against acanthamoeba trophozoites and cysts. That only leaves peroxide systems as an option for soft contact lens wearers.
- “Neutralized AOSept, SOLO-Care Soft, and COMPLETE Comfort Plus were noncytotoxic by all four tests. ReNu MultiPlus and ReNu MPS inhibited the growth of cells after exposure. OPTI-FREE Express (with ALDOX) may have a higher potential for ocular irritation correlating to severe cytotoxicity in vitro.” [from a 2002 study]. Cytotoxic, as in damaging to living cells. Yikes.
- “ReNu MultiPlus (Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, NY), AOSEPT (CIBA Vision Corporation, Duluth, GA), and Opti-Free Express with Aldox (Alcon Laboratories, Ft. Worth, TX) were the only lens care products that met the stand-alone criteria for all required microorganisms within their minimum recommended disinfection time.” [from a 2001 study]. Given the above information, that leaves only AOSept.
- “Overall, patients using AOSept showed less corneal staining and inflammatory response than patients using ReNu and Opti-Free.” [from a 1996 study]. Again, a clear winner.
- “HCE–T cells are significantly more viable when grown on HiDk SiHy contact lenses cycled in Clear Care® or Aquify MPS compared to HiDk SiHy contact lenses cycled in OPTI–FREE Express with Aldox.” [from a 2005 study]. That’s corneal cells, living better on lenses cleaned with Clear Care, which is (if I understand correctly) the new AOSept.When you go to the AOSept website, Clear Care is what you see. I checked their ingredient lists and the difference between them is Clear Care has added pluronic 17R4 – a cleaning agent – and has 0.79% sodium chloride whereas AOSept has 0.85% sodium chloride.
I’ve been using Clear Care for almost 2 years at the recommendation of my eye doctor and have had no eye infections or solution-related irritation while using it.

I also have sensitive eyes and have found the Opti Free Express seems to be okay. On bad days bring your solution with you and rinse your lenses a few times if you can.
Hope this helps.
