Contact problem. bad protein buildup. help!?

I started having problems with protein buildup about mid february.There wasn't just protein buildup there was some other kind of buildup. Its this weird clear stuff and any eye makeup i have on collects on and sticks to it. The makeup will come off but the other spots of stuff are still there. I went to my eye doctor and they gave me a sample of Clear Care and told me to try it and see if it works. At that point there was too much buildup and it wouldn't come it off. I threw out the lenses (i wear disposable contacts) and put in new ones and continued using the Clear Care and it seemed to be working for the first week and the the buildup came back. I went into the eye doctor again (without an appointment) and they gave me a new pair of lenses and told me to keep using the Clear Care and setup a real appointment. So i setup an appointment for the next week and continued to use the Clear Care. There was still protein buildup but the weird stuff that had been sticking to them had gone away. So when i went in for my appointment there was none of the weird buildup on it. I thought that the buildup was gone and the end of last week it came back. I haven't stopped using the Clear Care. My eye doctor recommended i switch back to my old Acuvue 2 lenses because I've been wearing the Acuvue Oasis lenses and he thinks that it might be the lenses because of the silicone in them. I tried switching back to the Acuvue 2 but they dry out and hurt my eyes. I don't sleep with my contacts in. Is there anything i can use to get rid of this problem? I've been told i should switch to single use lenses but i'm trying to avoid that because of how much more expensive they are and (i've been told) they're made of the same material as the Acuvue 2.
