Bio True

Recently purchased some contacts and was given a sample of Bausch and Lomb's Bio true contact solution. At first glance, one notices the simplicity of the bottle and the clean design of it. It is the first solution that I've seen to have a clear bottle. Very attractive to consumers. However, I was quite reluctant to use it. Why you might ask? Well if you recall, in 2005 Bausch and Lomb had to recall their ReNu contact solution which you can read about here. Furthermore, in January of 2011, they recalled their Soothe Xtra Hydration eyedrops for developing mold.

They are now trying to bounce back by rebranding themselves. That being said, I have used that solution a few times and so far, it seems to be fine. No problems, redness in the eyes or irritation. But has it convinced me to switch from Opti-Free? Short answer is no. Why switch to a new brand when your current solution that you've used for years works fairly well?
