Thanks for the info.

EEK! I use ReNu!! Thanks so much for posting this, Kay!

LOL now i see this thread!! i had to go and delete my post.
i also got told by a friend about this stuff... :eek:

:eek: I read that on CNN.com yesterday. I am so paranoid about my contacts since I wear them everyday. I use the Opti-free express so hopefully I am safe. :p

From what they say it's not 100% sure it's caused by the ReNu solutions, but it's scary anyway

Thanks for the info, thankfully I don't use that kind.

I used to use it, but not anymore thanks to lasik surgery! It's been over a year and it's one of the best choices I've ever made. :)

You know, I never use ReNu. I usually buy the store brand, figuring there really isn't much difference. BUT, I went to a new store and they had a two pack of ReNu on sale, quite cheap. I just opened the package on Sunday. :rolleyes:

Agh! :eek: I'm so glad that I use Opti-free........

Eek! Thanks Kay! I used to use it...until it was causing problems and the doctor actually told me to switch.

I can't use it because I am allergic to it, or something. It leaves my eyes bloodshot for hours and leaves bright red trails down my face and around my eyes where it touched my skin
