Eye drops for dry eyes

I use blink and it works great for my dry eyes. You can get them over the counter at the chemist . Optifresh also works fine. what works for one might not works for another. There are so many different eye drops for dry eyes, hopefully one might work for you. Good luck.

I use Refresh Plus- have been for years. They are effective and were recommended to me by my optometrist.

I highly recommend Hylo-Forte Eye Drop! It comes from Germany and uses a unique active ingredient. Recommended to me by a really experiened knowledgable pharmacist. Preservative free. Suitable for contact lens users. The Forte is the thicker stronger solution. It is a little gluey too.
I have bought 1 bottle, emptied and repurchased. It is better than Systane Ultra which my eye specialist recommended. Having used every preservative eye drops on the shelves, this is THE BEST!

Also for dry eyes, i suggest buying saline and doing an eye bath twice daily.
For instructions on that see.

For serial dry eyes, apply Poly Visc Lubricating Eye Ointment before sleepy. It is thick and it will blur your vision but it is going to be a godsend for dry eyes. Think of it like a intensive overnight eye lubricating treatment.

For eye drop applications:

I learnt this at the eye specialist with mom. Pull your lower lid down, put the eye drops, there is a “pocket” that contains the eyedrops, then close your eyes for a second. That is the correct way. i have always pulled the upper lid and that has failed.

🙁 damn my dry eyes.
Everthing in the photo below is for dry eyes. Ignore Chlorsig which is anti-bacteria i used recently for an infection i had.

Thanks for all these suggestions, my Mother inlaw has problems with very dry eyes. I’m going to buy the eye spray for her because of these recommendations.

I’ve used the eye spray. It is amazing and I really recommend it. Easy to apply anywhere and no running “tears” down your face. Good with makeup too!

Thanks Anita71. I will look for Blink next time. We have some from the Optometrist at the moment but a different brand.

I have dry eyes as well. I have glucauma and unfortunately for me my eye drops not only have me asthma it also made my eyes dry. I have tried different dry eye drops over the years and the one that really works for me is called blink. I use it 2-3 times a day to lubricate my eyes. I asked my optometrist as to how many time s I should used my drops and she told me if you feel like that there is something in your eyes than use the drops. It is like when you are thirsty you drink water the same principal applies to our eyes. Good luck. Hope this helps you.

I am looking at all your suggestions of different branded drops to buy. All of a sudden one eye feels like it has grit in the corner of it. I have looked but can’t see a reason perhaps an eyelash somewhere. I’ll try some of the suggestions for dry eye. Thanks.

I wear contact lenses for about 12 hours a day so my eyes can get dry easily. I haven’t had any eye infections so far! Dry eyes can lead to infection.
I use systane right now; before putting contacts in and after taking them out. Sometimes in the middle of the day if my eyes feel uncomfortable.
I also like refresh liquigel. It’s thick and keeps my eyes moist for longer.

sometimes I find trusty old saline solution does the trick
