Customer Reviews of Systane Lubricant Eye Drops, 1-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 2)
Customer Review: Best price is at Amazon
Summary: 4 Stars
I use these eye drops a lot, after cataract surgery on both of my eyes. Other than the warehouse clubs (which I do not belong to), Amazon seems to have the best pricing on these. Just wish they were a bit less expensive everywhere!
Customer Review: Good, but I wish they lasted longer
Summary: 4 Stars
My ophthalmologist recommended these eye drops because I have dry eyes. They work pretty well to lubricate my eyes. They provide relief and take the redness out. I only wish they lasted longer for me.Customer Review: I didn't like these eyedrops as much as I thought I would
Summary: 3 Stars
While my eyes feel great while on these, I found that they became even more red when coming off of these eyedrops. Further, they have preservatives which could actually irritate the eyes.
I've since switched to Thera Tears and like those much better although they don't last as long.
Customer Review: Not Impressed
Summary: 3 Stars
I have dry eye, and my eye doctor recommended this as an alternative to prescription eye drops. I am not impressed. The relief that I got was very good, but very brief. I find that the cheap store brand eye drops last just as long for me, and at half the price.Customer Review: My eyes don't react well to these drops
Summary: 2 Stars
I have dry eyes that require me to put drops in several times a day. At its worse my eyes were so dry that I had trouble opening my eyelids in the morning, they were stuck to my eyes. I have tried a large number of eye drops, which helped me with various degrees.
Systane lubricant drops irritate my eyes, my eyes feel hot and itchy and the eyes need frequent lubrication (i.e. much more frequent than other drops). I don't understand why this happens, I don't have any allergies. I have tried this lubricant several times, because my doctor likes it and offers me free samples at every visit.
I have tried a large number of eye drops looking for the best price/performance. Below is the list of the ones I have tried, I hope this might be of some use to someone who reads this.
My favorite eye drop is Refresh Tears Lubricant Eye drops, 1.08oz bottle. It does not irritate my eyes, it provides a long lasting effect, it does not blur my vision when it is applied. It works equally well during the day and night.
Refresh Tears Drops for Sensitive eyes single use vials work very well. They have no preservatives and are better for sensitive eyes, however they are more expensive the Refresh Tears in a bottle. Each vial has 4 drops. So I feel I am wasting the money if I use it just once. It is possible to re-close the vial for a second use the same day, but only if you can place the container somewhere it will not be disturbed, since the closure is pretty loose. I use these when my eyes are particular sensitive.
Refresh Liquigel blurs my vision, and when I wake up my eyes a covered with crusty residue of the gell. I don't like it. The packaging of Liquigel looks very similar to Lubricant drops, and at least on one occasion I bought the Liquigel by mistake after I already knew it did not work well for me. I hope this warning helps someone to avoid the same mistake.
GenTeal Librican Oitment blurs my vision after application, so I can only use it at night. When I wake up my eyes are crusty with the residue of the lubrication.
Genteal Lubricant Gen Aqua does not irritate my eyes, but the effect of the drop seem not to last. I need to reapply these drops much more frequently than Refresh Tears.
Murine Lubricant Drops do not irritate my eyes, but the effect of the drop seem not to last. I need to reapply these drops much more frequently than Refresh Tears.
Visine drops are very inexpensive and work well in my eyes, but my eye doctor told me not to use any lubricant that has `get the red out' in the name. He said it has extra medication to constrict blood vessels in the eye, and he said such drops should not be used for every day use.
On my last visit, my doctor suggested that I try taking 2 triple omega oil pills a day, as he found it really helps eye dryness. I was skeptical, but figured I would give it a try since fish oil has other positive effects. 2 weeks later I really began feeling a difference, my eyelids are no longer stuck to my eyes in the morning. I still use eye drops, it just does not feel as urgent when I wake up.
