Contact lenses & solutions

the_devil_made_me_do_it

Three weeks ago I started wearing those lovely Silicon Hydrogel lenses. Now it's been quite a few years since I have had to use contact lens solution as I have been wearing dailies.

I have used 2 different solutions & it seems after a few days my eyes are feeling very itchy & irritated.

The 2 solutions are Regard & Complete RevitaLens. Now I can't tell if I'm allergic to both of them or not. Anyway, I need to trial some other lens solution until I find the right one.

Can anyone offer any insight or advice please?

Thanks for the links, however, it seems that the info is mainly for the American market.

i use silicon hydrogel lenses and i used to buy a solution from my optician but it was too expensive for me to keep buying as contacts are a luxury when i could wear glasses really. so I actually found one in tesco - its tesco own brand and costs less than a fiver and is suitable for all lenses including silicon hydrogel ones. if the solutions are causing irritation though I would go back to your optician before trying any new ones as you might be making matters worse.
