The economy pack is simply the larger-volume option, aimed at regular wearers who get through solution steadily and would rather not reorder every few weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePureMoist includes Alcon's HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix, a wetting agent designed to help a soft lens hold moisture on its surface once it is in the eye. Whether that makes a noticeable difference varies from person to person, and we would rather say that plainly than promise you all-day comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing it properly matters more than which brand is in the bottle. Wash and dry your hands, put a few drops on each lens and rub gently, rinse, then store in a case filled with fresh solution. Never top up yesterday's solution — once it has been used it has already done its work — and replace your lens case every three months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your lenses feel dry no matter which solution you use, the solution may not be the problem.
