What is the difference between Opti-Free Express and RepleniSH?
There are subtle differences between Opti-Free Express and Opti-Free RepleniSH. These differences include comfort, value for money and bottle size.
Both solutions are the exact same price; however, Opti-Free Express offers better value for money as it features a larger bottle than Opti-Free RepleniSH. At 355ml, you’ll get more uses from Opti-Free Express than Opti-Free RepleniSH which features a 300ml bottle.
Opti-Free RepleniSH both utilises TearGlyde Technology for enhanced contact lens comfort. This technology reconditions the surface of your contact lenses overnight so that they are kept nice and moist for up to 24 hours.
Which is better Opti-Free Express or Opti-Free Replenish?
Opti-Free Express is a better lens solution if you’re looking for value for money as the 355ml bottle is guaranteed to last you longer.
Nevertheless, if you wear contact lenses for long periods of time and feel that your contact lens solution is essential to maintaining the comfort of your lenses, we recommend Opti-Free RepleniSH as a better solution for you.
