How do you clean your disposables?

I wear Acuve Oasys hydroclear disposables and was wondering how everyone cleans their lenses. I use a no rub solution but they always seem to start to bother me after about a week of wearing them. I don't sleep or even take a nap with them in. Any tips would be appreciated.

TIA

Check out this page: http://staininggrid.com/

This is a table called the Staining Grid. It tells you which solutions work best with each brand of contact lenses. You look for the contacts you wear--in this case it's Acuvue Oasys--on the left side of the table. Then you look all across that row. Where ever the row has a green square in it, look at the brand name of the solution at the top of the column. Here you see that Acuvue Oasys is compatible with Unisol Saline, Clear Care, Opti-free Express, Opti-free Replenish, Renu Multiplus, and Renu Multipurpose, along with some others. See for yourself.

I've been wearing contacts for 15 years and have worn many different brands and types over the years. When my optometrist gave me a trial pair of the Acuve Oasys contacts, I immediately noticed a difference. Acuvue Oasys are so comfortable and my eyes don't ever get dry. Plus, I wear my contacts every waking moment, and I don't have any problems watching TV late at night - which I never could before because my eyes would be so dry. And I don't ever experience having to 'pull' my contacts out like they're suctioned to my eye like I used to with other contacts.

The only complaint I have (and it isn't really much of a complaint) is that when I first started wearing Acuvue Oasys, my eyes felt sensitive and I felt like a fan was always blowing in my eyes. My eye doctor told me that it was because most Other Contact Lenses are made of plastic and they 'deaden' your eyes, so when you switch to the Acuvue Oasys (which are made of silicone hydragel), your eyes have to get used to them.

AcuVue Oasys lenses are the best lens I have found for my 'Dry Eye' problems. I can wear these lenses all day without any irritation. I recommend these lenses if you suffer from 'Dry Eye' problems. I tried several other lenses that were made for cronic dry eye suffers that seemed to pertetuate the problem, but not Oasys. I can say that for the first time in my contact lens wearing, I have finally found a product that works with me

Thanks for telling us about your experience with Acuvue Oasys contacts. I always enjoy reading about people who are happy with their contacts.
