Alcon Opti-Free Express "No Rub" vs. ReNu MultiPlus Multi-Purpose

Alcon's Opti-Free Express "No Rub" sounds convenient as it removes the rubbing step. However, the advertisements fail to mention the mandatory second rinse step after soaking. You need to rinse your lenses a total of 40 seconds.

Proper compliance could triple your patient's cost of lens care.

Alcon Opti-Free Express "No Rub"

  1. Thoroughly rinse each side of lens for 5 seconds
    (20 second total rinse time)
  2. Store lenses in the closed lens case overnight for at least 6 hours
  3. Before wear, rinse each side of the lens for 5 seconds to remove any debris (20 second total rinse time)


ReNu MultiPlus No Rub Formula does not require a second rinse step like Alcon Opti-Free Express No-Rub does, resulting in a more convenient regimen with a higher compliance potential.

No Rub, No Worry, No Compromise Lens Care.

ReNu MultiPlus No Rub Formula

  1. Thoroughly rinse each side of the lens (for 5 seconds)
  2. Place cleaned contact lenses in the lens case, fill with fresh ReNu MultiPlus solution and soak for at least four hours.
