Been wearing contacts for 6 yrs, use the $4 Target/Walmart/Kmart brand (it's all the same), not paying up to $8 a bottle for brand name - what a rip! And $6 for a lens case (NYC prices)??? *me faints*

Target brand - $1.50-$2 for the All-in-one stuff - works like a champ - Oh, and my Opthamologist gave me 2 big bottles of expensive stuff and I couldn't tell any differences. Note, I have been using cheap stuff for about 8yrs now.....

My parents bought me some cheap all-in-one solution at Shopko (like 88 cents :Q) and it works great for me.
If I use the stuff with "Natural Tears" (some kind of Potassium stuff) my contacts won't go in properly....they kinda fall out when I blink.

And no, I don't notice a difference between the cheap solution and the expensive stuff.

I'm using the Optifree Express stuff at the moment, even though I don't like it. I used to use the Optifree regular stuff (whatever it was called) with the daily cleaner, but I can't find it anymore. :( With the Express stuff my eyes hurt a lot and I can't leave them in as long.

btw are you sure you've been using the Express stuff for 5 years? Because I thought that was new. It's the "no-rub" stuff right?
