    Luckily, there are many eye drops that are available over-the-counter. A lot of them are great drops, and lot of them I would avoid. The benefits of using preservative free eyes drops are: likely less irritation without a preservative in the drop, can use them with contact lenses, and you can use them more frequently. The 7 dry eye drops mentioned in this video are just a few that I like.

    Wow, thank you so much for all your information! My Eye Dr. said I have dry eyes and told me to get preservative free eye drops so I did and the two brands I tried both irritated my eyes which were not cheap. I then bought Equate brand Dry Eye Relief lubricant drops from Walmart which has a preservative but is very soothing and didn't irritate for daytime use and also Equate Lubricant Eye Ointment which does not have a preservative for night time use. The night ointment really helps if my eyes are really dry. I also know that a long time ago someone recommended baby shampoo for washing eye makeup off because it doesn't irritate the eyes and keeps eyelash mites under control. Also, the vitamin Ocuvite is recommended for dry eyes and eye health in general. Thank you for all these recommendations, I'm interested in the ones with castor oil in them because its suppose to penetrate deeper into the cells.

    I highly recommend Systane Complete PF drops. I've tried various other brands without success. I have had dry eyes for 2 yrs following cataract surgery in 2021. Also have developed in both eyes MGD and blepharitis. Since starting Systane Complete PF (only a month ago) all my system are gone. No more watery, itchy & blurry eyes. I noticed immediate relief after the first drop!

    I've had dry eye issues for years with various treatments including a 3 month round of Oxervate. Unfortunately, the cause has yet to be found. However, I want thank you for this info. Been using Sustain Complete PF for the past year, but it hasn't helped. Nice to find out there are other options that contain castor oil. Recently have become a fan of using caster oil warm pack treatments because of the tremendous amount of soothing they seem to be providing.b Thanks again!

    • @LauraB.335
      @LauraB.335 2 месяца назад +1

      The cause is often insulin resistance and the junk we eat. I stopped eating as many carbs and processed food and mine went away altogether. Processed foods, carbs, grains, and seed oils really do a number on our eyes and often lead to cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.

    I've tried so many and they all cause a great deal of pain--so much that it takes three days to recover from my new purchased preservative free new brands that I try. My new doctor put me on Prednisolone for one week and I wanted to stay on it because I finally had relief, but I had to stop due to the side effects it can cause. The new doc does research on dry eyes so he calls me his research project--says I'm producing tears, but this became super bad immediately following cataract surgery. Now, it looks like there's a few you listed I haven't tried, so I'll try them, but it gets expensive to try these only to find out they leave me in so much pain that I only use them a couple times and give up.

    • @brettwassum3423
      @brettwassum3423 6 месяцев назад

    I had cornea transplants on both eyes. I wear scleral contacts pretty much the whole time I’m awake, from 630am to 12am!!!! Within the past 4 years there was a gradual and frustrating change that was due to “dry eyes’ though i mostly experience it in my right eye. One thing i noticed as soon as i woke up and didn’t put some type of eye drop, was “rings” around any type of light sources. I’ve tried everything, and still no change. But now I take D3 Fish oil in liquid form (faster and better absorption than the pill) in addition before I sleep, nighttime eye gel, when I wake up Retaine MGD. The Retaine MGD looks similiar to the Hydration Complete PF, which I have already ordered (which after seeing this video was sold out very fast on Amazon!!!) I see the eye dr on Monday and will ask for the dry eye test to pinpoint what it is am experiencing.

    BETTER BE CAREFUL----- I LOST ONE EYE with Artificail Tears..... I was being treated for retina issues- and cataracts-- had the surgeries- and was told to use Artificial Tears for dryness-- and had for a year.. Then, one day i opened a NEW bottle and thank God I put it in the left one first... (it was the ALREADY bad eye for almost no vision).. and I put ONE DROP in and it was like ACID in my eye. I literally SCREAMED out loud for 2 full days-- then Sis managed to get off work and take me to the hospital (she didn't know sooner- because I hurt so bad couldn't get to the phone to dial)... They did everything-- blood tests, cat scan- etc. and i was told it was fine- except the OUTER protective layer of my eye had been literally BURNED OFF!!. Went to my doc that Monday- (another two days of pain and screaming). he said nothing he could do-- went to specialist in JC and they took one look and said " OH MY GOD- this is a MESS- we cna't even fix this". They removed it-- I LOST that eye due to that drop.!!! A month later-- CDC sent me an email and a form to fill out about it-and I"m one of the 4 people they have on record that actually LOST an eye due to the drop. IT is ARTIFICIAL TEARS the brand and were contaminated and they wouldn't even tell me with what. They said they had found out what it was and that it was ok now-- but I"M NEVER USING that brand again. They are from INDIA-- never use anything from India- EVER!!!!

    I have used and been happy with the Refresh Digital PF drops for some time. Dry eyes are a huge problem in the Mojave Desert, especially in winter.
    After LASIK, my doctor recommended the Systane Complete PF drops. I can't really compare them to the Refresh drops because it's a special post-surgery situation. I will say that I'm having a horrible time with blurry vision 7 weeks after the surgery and the only thing that really helps is the steroid drops that I was supposed to stop using 3 weeks ago. The Systane drops only help if I put in 2-3 drops, spaced 5 minutes apart. I might get some of the Refresh Digital drops and see if they do better.

I've experimented numerous times with other things, hoping to get some additional improvement, and always came crawling back to Systane Ultra PF. It's frustrating because I still have glare and blurriness despite sticking with the "best" lubricant eye drop for me. Might Systane Hydration work due to the hyaluronic acid, which is good for corneal epithelial repair? It seems promising, but given my history, I'm honestly nervous to try it.
    Thanks ahead of time for your thoughts!
    EDIT: And yes, I do use Muro solution 4x daily and the ointment at night.

    Thera Tears didn't make the list. They were the first ones I could use that didn't sting. I'm curious what it is about them, and I'm thinking I should probably switch. But most importantly, I should use them more often than "only when I'm annoyed at my eyes"

    My eye doctor put me on Systane balance because my dry eyes is caused by MGD. After using that for a couple months I noticed it was making my dry eyes worse so she told me to use any eye drops that are preservative free so I got hydrasense preservative free eye drops. Greetings from Canada !

    Hi there, I have been told by my optician that i have blepharitis and Meibomian Gland Dysfuntion. Sounds much worse than it is!!
    I have been given advice on good personal care and hygiene for this condition. I have noticed, though, on a chat forum that DIY Manuka honey treatments work by dropping diluted honey into the eye along the lid margins and also massaging in the honey!!! What are your thoughts because apart from the thought of really sticky eyes and fingers I am not sure if there is real science behind this? Hope you can help. Thanks muchly. Jaci from the UK 🇬🇧

    I'm trying to find another PF eye drop. I bought the Systane Complete and my eye has been much drier which I don't understand. I'm having cataract surgery in July so want to make sure my eye isn't dry for the lens measurements. I could never understand why I couldn't wear contacts and now realize it's because my eye dries out so fast. Do you have a recommendation to try?

  • @24tommyst

    Thanks for the video. Just bought the Systane on Amazon so we'll see how that goes. Are some people bad at tolerating the oils in these for some reason? I feel like I tried one with oil before and it was irritating for me. Could have been just a bad brand/blend, I guess.

      I’m taking Restasis, too, for dry eyes with Sjogrens. I don’t think it’s working very well (after 2 months) and it often stings for 15 minutes after I put in the drops. There is apparently a much more pricey brand that works after several months but my insurance won’t pay for it. Wondering how you’re fairing on Restasis?
