Price: ~$14 including shipping.

Pros: Immensely practical; nice aesthetic design

Cons: Adhesive is very fussy and fails to hold up to proper use

Opti-Free Replenish (TM) Rewetting Drops

June 14th, 2009 No comments

 

image Rating: 9/10

Price: $7/10ml retail; as low as $4.20/bottle if you buy in higher quantity online

Pros: Solves many problems that crop up when your contacts are still in your eyes; primarily fixes dryness, but can also break up protein and help remove debris

Cons: Big price tag for a small quantity, especially if purchased retail; may not function well when stored under hot conditions

Overall: Rewetting drops are a must-have for anyone who wears contacts for long periods of time, and Opti-Free’s line of products almost always deliver. It wouldn’t be a surprise if these were the best rewetting drops on the market.
