Refresh Liquigel (ocular lubricant) for Dry Eye Disease "I'm 79 yrs old and Eye Dr. told me my eyes are very dry and to use Refresh liquigel for relief. After using in each eye about three times, I wake up with swollen eyelids and rash around the outside of each eye. My skin seems to reject a few drops that tear out of the eye after dropping into the eye. I had to stop using and wait it out with ice compression and allergy medication. I am very allergic to whatever is in this eye medication. Thank God that my eyesight and eyeball were not affected, only the eyelids and under-eye."

Refresh Optive Mega-3 (ocular lubricant) for Dry Eye Disease "These are the best eye drops that I have used out of the many that I have tried. I think that there is more lubrication in these eye drops than in other brands that I have tried. I am using preservative-free eye drops. I have experienced burning and itching when I use any brand of eye drops that contains a preservative."

Systane (ocular lubricant) for Dry Eye Disease "I have allergies and my eyes get itchy so I thought I would try Systane to sooth my irritated eyes. When I put a drop in each eye my eyes became blurred over and I could not see! As it dissipated some I could not longer read the information on the box! It damaged my eyes! I flushed my eyes out three times with water and it still didn’t help! They felt itchy and sticky.. That evening my right eye had a lump that appeared on my lower lid, white is still there! And my eye sight from the eye drops on Friday are still not back to normal! How can a company produce a product that is not safe to use? I am going to call my attorney!"

Systane Ultra (ocular lubricant) for Dry Eye Disease "Crazy. My eye dr pushed these eye drops so hard and using these eye drops made my eyes dryer and dryer. It took 2.5 years to discover that I should use preservative free eye drops instead —because low and behold I was allergic to the regular drops! The reg drops caused more inflammation which interfered with My normal tear production. Thousands of dollars later, a lot of pain and suffering, two ulcers on my left eye and it was the office receptionist that suggested I try preservative free eye drops! And, within a couple of weeks my devastating dry eye symptoms were gone."

Systane Ultra (ocular lubricant) for Dry Eye Disease "I bought Systane Ultra yesterday due to supposed accolades of doctors. Used it once. Eyes became increasingly red. That night all lights had halos (maybe the viscosity of the fluid?) Eyes burned when I tried to read. I read the reviews to see if any others were having similar side effects. They were. I washed my eyes with a warm baby shampoo solution last night to start ridding my eyes of the residuals. They are better this morning. Unfortunately, the experience and the experience of others have left me skeptical of Alcon products, or at least this one."

Systane Balance (ocular lubricant) for Dry Eye Disease "Went to optometrists / opthamologist For eye exam said I had dry eyes. Gave me sample bottles said to use 4 or 5 times a day first two weeks then no less than 3 times a day. My eyes are swollen, vision blurry, I wake up with goo and gook in my eyes it is awful. I stopped today I hope it clears up soon I drive for a living."

Systane (ocular lubricant) for Dry Eye Disease "Caused horrible migraines and nausea both times using drops, within 30-40 minutes of using 1 drop per eye. First time I did not think it was due to drops, second time, 2 days later, I realized the cause was the drops. Caused a migraine both times... not a headache, but full on migraine!"

Systane (ocular lubricant) for Dry Eye Disease "I used Systane Relief for Dry Eyes about 5 years ago and felt my eyes got drier every day. The day I stopped was when my both corneas tore when I woke up and opened my eyes due to my eyes being so dry. I saw my optometrist and contacted Systane. Systane quickly sent a courier to pick up their product and never reported anything back to me. I called them and they wouldn't respond. 5 years later I am having laser surgery to repair my cornea where I had the most damage and lost 1/2 my vision in that eye."

Systane Balance (ocular lubricant) for Eye Redness "I've had chronic dry eyes for years as a consequence of an ongoing eye condition. I've used eye drops for years seeking relief includes another Systane product, generic eye lubricants and prescription restasis. This is the first product that has provided real ongoing relief. The only negative is it cannot be used while contacts are in place, but this is minor when compared to the relief provided."

Systane Ultra (ocular lubricant) for Dry Eye Disease "I started taking Systane Ultra for dry eye, and my eyes got so red and irritated, I had to quit using it. My vision became very blurry and my eyes both really hurt. I am convinced it was preservatives in them that caused my problem. I will never use these again. I hope my eyes get better soon."

Systane Ultra (ocular lubricant) "I started with regular Systane, but after a few months it was simply not enough to remedy my dry eyes, so I segued over to Ultra, which was great for a number of years. Now I don't know what changed, but the Ultra started leaving a hard crust in my eyelashes and under my eyes on the skin––kinda like sleep-sand mixed with glue. And you can't simply rub it out of your eyes; this stuff has to be picked off piece by piece. I don't know what caused this (it's only been this bad since I moved from Southern to Northern California about a year ago), but if anyone knows of a substitute, I'd be grateful for your input."

Systane Ultra (ocular lubricant) for Dry Eye Disease "Dr told me to use this 2 times a day for dry eyes every 12 hrs 1st day it seemed to help had a bad headache 2nd and 3rd day by 4th day my right hurt and was so irritated and my eyes were so blurry after reading these reviews. I stopped the Systane. My eyes are still bothering me but I’m 100% sure my eyes are more blurry and irritated then they were. These drops might help some people but I wish I would have never used them"

Oasis Tears (ocular lubricant) "I have been using it for a month and my eyes are a mess. I just thought maybe I had really bad allergies all of a sudden and that my eyesight was starting to go bad due to age. Then on top of the watering and blurriness, my eyes started burning and I finally put two and two together. I will stop using it immediately and hopefully there is no permanent damage."

Systane (ocular lubricant) for Dry Eye Disease "I actually just did a search “Systane causing grainy residue” and I was shocked to find that other people have had side effects from these drops. I have also experienced worsened itching, burning and blurred vision. I will not use these. I will inform Optometrist who recommended it."

Lubricant Eye Drops (ocular lubricant) for Dry Eye Disease "I'm 50 and I've used other drops all my life with no problems. After a few weeks of using these drops my eyes started burning and I noticed my vision would get blurry at night while trying to watch TV. I never had these symptoms before using these drops and it was getting so bad I finally decided to look at the reviews... sure enough, I saw a lot of other people are experiencing the same exact horrible side effects. I just threw mine in the trash... I just hope it didn't do any permanent damage."

GenTeal (ocular lubricant) for Eye Redness "I have extremely dry eyes due to Sarcordosis. Have used GenTeal gel for many years but I have not been able to find it for at least a year. I am now trying GenTeal night-time ointment at night. I prefer the gel. The GenTeal gel has a pointed tip and is so great for day and night. I can use just a small amount during the day and it doesn't blur my vision. I have tried so many eye drops but nothing compares to the gel."

TheraTears (ocular lubricant) for Eye Redness "I had used numerous other eye drops in the course of 3 years prior to being diagnosed with Sjorgen's Syndrome. The only succesful drops were the Theratears (single usage-no preservatives). Unfortunately it has been just in the past 8 months or so that I have not been able to purchase this product at any drug store located in South Central Ontario Canada. Once again I needed to try some other drops that where accessible to me. No success and much frustration. I decided to take the big step and order on-line directly from the company. (Never thought I would do something like this but I was desparate) Thank you ever so much for shipping this product because it is indeed a life saver. Thank you Theratears."

Lacrisert (ocular lubricant) for Dry Eye Disease "I have been using Lacriserts for at least 20 years, I have dry eye from sjogrens disease. Like other people say they are a God send. I have not been able to get them this last month and I now get to be totally miserable with my dry eyes since they have absolutely no tears. This is the third time his has happened to me. It is a necessity for me. Can someone please tell me why they are not available? I am in a lot of pain and so far this is the only medication that works for me, OTC or prescription"

Lacrisert (ocular lubricant) for Eye Redness "My eyes are painful if I open them too quickly. Sometimes even when just blinking, they stick closed. The Lacriserts are a God send. The only major drawback (well, minor in relation to the benefits) is that I have to remove the inserts within 10 hours or they become like a glue and actually add to the pain. But during the 10 hours it's like a miracle!"

Refresh (ocular lubricant) "This review is for the PM ointment. The idea of putting ointment in my eyes is disturbing. Very disturbing. I’m not good when something gets close to my eyeball, so it took a lot of self-talk to put the ointment in my eyes. Before, I’d go to bed with burning and/or gritty eyes and wake up with burning eyes and/or sticky eyelids. I have none of that now…it’s so nice! It causes blurry vision, but it doesn’t matter because I use it right before going to bed. It’s a little hard to put in because too much pressure is needed to get the product out of the tube. An ointment eye product is still unsettling to me, but it works extremely well, so I keep using it. If they made a non-ointment product that was just as effective and lasted all night, I’d be the first in line."

Systane (ocular lubricant) for Dry Eye Disease "Gave me swollen and puffy eye lids. I quit using Systane lid wipes and Systane complete drops as they made my eye lids puffy. Now I see that Drugs.com lists this as a side effect. Don't take a chance with your eyes. Costco may have to stop stocking this product."

Refresh PM (ocular lubricant) for Eye Redness "Put one drop of a plain natural tears formula in each eye. I usually use Visine Tears. The 1/2 oz. bottle is easier to hold and control the number of drops than with the 1 oz. Next, pull down lower lid of each eye and apply 1/4 inch of a plain lubricant eye ointment. I use Refresh P.M. Do this first thing in the morning and last thing at night. You will forget you have dry eyes! Just remember in the morning to wipe off with a tissue any excess ointment under your eyes. Also, the slight blurriness after application lasts only a few seconds."

Systane Ultra (ocular lubricant) for Eye Redness "My ophthalmologist recommended Systane for dry eyes, so I tried them out. Though the compound does lubricate reasonably well, it is so viscous that it tends to cause burring for awhile before the eyes start clearing up. Hence, the only time I can use them without being forced to deal with that nuisance effect is before I go to sleep. Any other recommendations?"

Systane Ultra (ocular lubricant) for Dry Eye Disease "Been using Systane Ultra for 6 days for my dry eyes and I didn’t feel any of the beneficial effects of the drops. It actually made it worse. My eyes got too sticky and after 5 min went dry again. Now I have this burning sensation and decided to see the reviews and realize Systane is the problem. Will stop using it and hope my eyes get better!!"
