That RENU has been pulled from the market in most countries- associated with fungal eye infections (Fusarium).

I would recommend ALCON Optifree express.

Once you get used to the single focus lenses you may want to try a soft bifocal lenses. Up until a year ago they were worthless, but there is a new technology that actually works pretty well. They come as "proclear" which is monthly disposable lens (no astig correction), or as a nondisposable lens that does have an astigmatism correcting component if needed. They are both made by Coopervision. The fitting requires someone who understands how the lenses work and has experience with them (I have no proprietary interest).

EDIT- the proclear lenses are available as no cost trials from the manufacturer, although your eyecare professional may charge for his time in fitting them. The nondisposable lenses (ultraclear) have a generous (? 90 day) return guarantee from the manufacturer. So they are pretty reasonable to try.
