This stuff is made by Alcon.There is no doubt that it's extended the life of my lenses. I wear the ciba Focus 1-2 week lenses but take them off daily as per doc's instructions. It costs about $7 a bottle.

The idea is that you don't have to use any of those enzyme tablets, or rub the lenses before you disinfect them.
This is probably what is extending the lens life as there is less wear and tear from me touching them.

I wear my lenses till they are no longer comfortable. Usually there is a tear that appears on the lens before I replace them. The lenses did not last more than a month with the first box I went through. But so far these have lasted 6 weeks (and counting).

YMMV. I am not an eye doctor, nor do I play one on tv.

Sounds like a good idea, a lot of wear/tear/damage/loss from rubbing them. Do they work for gas perms too or just soft?

Yes, this is definitely some good stuff. I wear dailys (non-disposable) and it sure saves on the enzymes, plus does a better job IMHO. I also like the antibacterial action of this stuff.

Do you folks who have used it do so each time you disinfect? I'm just wondering if I can get more life out of the lenses by alternating between this and just disinfecting solution at some as yet undetermined ratio.
