Refresh Celluvisc Lubricant Eye Gel For Dry Eyes, Preservative-Free Drops, 0.01 Fl Oz Single-Use Containers, 30 Count

I have been using Refresh eye drops for many years. Unlike drops in bottles, including Refresh, which contain preservatives that can burn, the individual applicators are preservative free so never a sting. Refresh has many different levels of drops, I use these somewhat thick drops at night and the thinner Plus during the day as needed. Everyone I have recommended them to over the years also loved them. Definitely recommend to anyone with dry eyes.

Extremely happy with this product. I thought my mom was having serious problems with her eyes and her doctor recommended these eyedrops and it has cured her extreme I dryness. She was seeing blurry. Her eyes were so dry. This product helped and she no longer sees blurry. Her sister has also started using this product and gives it five star review. They are both in their mid-70s.

These are by far the best eye drops. I am a CPAP user and my eyes dry out super easy! But these are a thicker tear which makes your eyes blurry for a moment but clears up even better if you put them in the fridge

They are designed to be disposable after a single use, and you will be hard pressed to get multiple uses that maintain an ideal chemical reaction. As such, these economic ratings are not done by milliliters, but by price per whole vial. So the vials with more fluid in them are not necessarily a better deal. That said, some vials may be designed with an unsatisfactory amount of fluid per vial for even a single use. You decide.GRAND TOTAL RECOMMENDATIONSAllergan Refresh: Recommended for evening/nighttime useBausch & Lomb: HIGHLY RECOMMENDEDBlink Tears: Recommended with reservationsSimilasan: Not RecommendedSystane Ultra: HIGHLY RECOMMENDEDTears Naturale: Not RecommendedTheratears: Not RecommendedEveryone's eye chemistry is different, and different products will affect each person uniquely. So keep your mind open and be willing to try many things. Consider also: humidifiers, night gels, eyelid cleansers, microwaveable hot pads, sunglasses, and anything else out there.

First of all, people need to research what type of eyedrop they are using! There are much thinner ones like the regular Refresh or the Systane. They have the consistency of water and add some moisture to your eyes but if you have a real dry eye problem then those are not enough. I started getting dry eye problems a couple of months ago and almost immediately got a retinal tear. I had about 30 shots of laser done to my eye to cauterize the tear and stop a detachment. Ever since then I've continued to have dry eyes and recently they have been VERY dry, to where it looks like I'm looking through fog some of the time. Out of huge concern I reached out to my ophthalmologist who treated my retinal tear. These are the exact Refresh drops that she recommended as well as the ophthalmologist recommended Bruder eye compress that is an eye mask you microwave for 20 seconds to help add moisture to your eyes and eyelids. These appear to be thin like the most known Refresh but they are a slightly thicker material and will blur your eyes for 5 to 10 minutes as they are supposed to because they are thicker/ more moisturizing! They are not as thick as the gels which some people use especially at night that is way thicker than these. You have to look at what your needs are and not criticize these because they temporarily blur your vision. Again there are eye drops for everyone's issues and these are the ones my ophthalmologist told me to get. They add noticeably more moisture to my eyes than the regular Refresh. I just wouldn't put my contacts in until afterwards if at all when you have a dry eye problem. I've always liked Refresh because you can push/snap the top handle back on and use the rest later. Someone said it makes them tired afterwards lol which is just a feeling of having something thicker in your eye temporarily making you feel like your eyes are "heavy"/ aka sleepy. Very glad I got these!

I have a lot of trouble with dryness and these drops have been the only ones that I am not allergic too and work! I wear them with my night time sleep contacts and really notice a major difference in the morning!

It’s the best non prescription moisturizing eye drops. It may seem pricey but our eyes are worth it.
