Refresh Optive MEGA-3 Lubricant Eye Drops Preservative-Free Artificial Tears, 0.01 fl oz (0.4 mL), 30 Single-Use Containers

These have been a lifesaver post-lasik surgery. Love how they are small and can fit inside my purse to use on the go. The individual caps ensure they last for a long period of time while staying fresh, helps keep my eyes from being dried out. Great quality, have purchased multiple times.

Recommended by my Eye Doctor because my eyes are extremely dry. I am not particularly fond of single use eye drops sticks, but I couldn’t find these in a multi use bottle. The drops are working very well. My eyes were so dry they stayed irritated continuously. I use them several times a day and before bedtime. Easy to use and have helped with the irritation the dryness causes. They are more expensive then the little green bottles. I cheat just a little. I use a single stick for 1 day. I open a new vial every morning and use 1 drop in each eye several times a day. My eyes do feel much better and the 30 vials last the entire month. I’m sure sure everyone has their own opinion about useage. This is just mine. I do recommend this product.

I had a VERY stubborn stye on my lower eyelid. I was using warm compresses, lid wipes and SteriLid (hypochlorus acid spray), but the biggest change happened when I started using these drops. My stye was gone after about 24 hours!Zero irritation. They feel like a nice cool, refreshing bath on my eye balls! The hydration and lubrication lasts for hours for me. I can feel a difference from the flaxseed oil that’s added. No stinging or burning! No post-application drip or watery eyes, either.I love the single use/individual vials. I’m able to put the plastic cap back on and save the remainder; I can get about 2-4 uses out of one vial (1 drop per eye).TIP: Store the box in the fridge! I learned this trick when I worked for an ophthalmologist. It feels even more relieving when they’re cold!UPDATE: well, my stye came back after a week. I wanted to update this so people didn’t think this is a guaranteed cure for styes! I went and got some antibiotics and RX drops, and the doc said I could continue to use these for lubrication. They def feel relieving!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:On Accutane, EVERYTHING gets super dry — skin, lips, inside of nose, eyes. These are a must-have for me now during my course of meds, but as I generally have dry eyes, I’ll likely continue to use them after the course as well.I used to wear biweekly contacts, but my eyes started to get so dry after about a month on Accutane that was having to replace them every few days instead of every other week, despite constant application of Refresh Relieva for Contact Lenses, which got expensive fast.I switched to dailies, which helped a little, but they’d still feel scratchy by bedtime and were pretty scratchy to remove.I have used harder-core drops/gel/ointment/etc. in the past for general dry eye, but many of them are blurry or uncomfortable.These are not blurry or uncomfortable at ALL — they feel like regular eye drops, but less cold due to the oil content, and they’re safe to use with contact lenses. It’s recommended to put them in 10min before putting contacts in, but I haven’t had any issues putting them in immediately beforehand, or even with them already in if I need eyedrops in a pinch. Yay!!I find if I put these in after taking my contacts out before I fall asleep, my eyes aren’t dry & are MUCH more comfortable (like they should be!) when I wake up in the morning, so I don’t dread putting in my lenses for the day. The redness from the dry irritation dissipated in a day or two.And, if I use the drops Immediately before putting in my dailies in the morning (I don’t have the patience to wait…), I don’t usually find myself needing drops throughout the day unless I’ve been in the wind or something.With the castor oil in there, these are essentially what barrier cream is for skin (moisturizing & holds in hydration), versus typical drops (e.g. Refresh Relieva), which would be more akin to a hydrating serum (combats dehydration, but will mostly evaporate without a true moisturizer on top).Overall I highly recommend these for anyone with dry eyes who wants to maintain visual clarity, for contact lens wearers (use as advised by the box to be safe), and those on Accutane or any other medication that causes dryness. Wish I’d found them sooner!

The product itself is great. Really helps with night time dry eye problems. It's more viscous than other brands I've tried so far.But I don't understand the point of having individual dosages. So much extra packaging- for what? Other eye drops come in tiny bottles that fit in small spaces. How much smaller do we need to go? And these individual doses are really enough for 2-3 doses, so to avoid waste I try to prop up these little vials to use the rest later. But the design won't allow for that very easily, so it spills. Also it dries out because you can't recap the vial once you twist off the top. I just don't understand the need for all this. Tried to find this exact formula in a bottle but I can't find it. Maybe there is one but marketed under a different name/label?

Great for super sensitive eyes. Recommended by my eye doc when I had cataract surgery - no preservatives. Put in the refrigerator for cool refreshing feeling. She told me to do this if I had any itching after surgery - DON'T ITCH - get the drops out of the refrigerator and use them cold to calm the itch!

I have very, dry eyes and this produce is absolutely great for the relief it gives my dry eyes. I like the vials I can separate and and carry one or two vials with me so I can use them whenever needed. The vials are very easy to use; I carry one inn my purse at all times so I have one any time I need eye relief.
