Systane Nighttime Lubricant Eye Ointment 3.5g Tube

I have extremely dry eye. Even though I live in a state with plenty of humidity. I use this at night and it works great. It was recommended to me by my eye doctor. It has no preservative, which is a big plus. It is a little messy for me to use, but that just me! LOL

Really helps with my dry eyes. Sometimes I’ll even use it during the day.It is a thicker gel style ointment, so it can make it a little difficult to see for a little while after application. I would keep that in mind and only use it during times when you are able to have your vision slightly impaired.It has a tube style applicator instead of a bottle because of the gel like consistency of the ointment. It can be a little difficult to get a small dose because the tube wants to push out a lot of ointment even with a small amount of pressure.It’s kind of expensive but worth it. I alternate with other drops to make them last longer.

I sliced my eye with my own fingernail one day when I was going to push my glasses up. Worst pain imaginable! Went through 3 years of a healing process because the wound kept ripping back open with my dry eyes in the morning. I've tried just about every drop imaginable. This nighttime gel is the best and helps me the most through the healing process. I also used it during the day. Expect a bit of burry vision for the first few minutes but it clears up. It's a very small tube but it last a while. Would recommend 10/10!

I like how there are no preservatives and that there are as few ingredients as possible. I would recommend. :)Relief:It really does help me cover for the lipid layer while my different glands heal up.Ease of use:I like how it keeps my eye lubricated. It makes the vision blurry so it is only recommended for at night. I use it in the morning as well because I carpool and only apply it in one eye.It is greasy and hard to apply. My eye Dr said that I could just apply it to a very clean finger and swipe it into the lower eye pocket. That has been going well. I am on my second package because I contaminated the first one by touching it to my eye due to the recommended method on the box.Size:It is a small container. It goes a long way though. Plus a smaller container keeps you from using too old of a product and risk contaminationWhy did you pick this product vs others?:Besides lanolin, it is relatively hypoallergenic

I experienced a sudden extreme bought of dry eye months after starting a job that requires me to get in and out of many many cars after driving them for only a few minutes at a time. My eye problems started at the end of the summer where I had grown into the habit of, after getting into hot car after hot car, I would crank up the air conditioner sky high and the fan speed up as high as possible, and point the fan straight at my upper body and face. Because I was only in each car for a few minutes, I had the air blasting at me nearly all day. Further, during this time we had a few weeks where it was constantly windy. This all led to my eyes becoming extremely painfully dry (which has never ever happened to me before), so much so that I had to wear laboratory goggles in my home and motorcycle glasses outside and at work. I had to shut my eyes when walking because I could feel the air hitting my eyeballs like paper cuts. It was excruciatingly painful. I got gel eyedrops but those never lasted more than a few minutes at a time and still did not help as much as I needed. Then I bought this at my local pharmacy and, even though this is a night time eye product, I had no other option than to use this during the day and at night. After doing that for several weeks my eyes began to heal. Even now I use this whenever I feel that my eyes have been or may be exposed to prolonged wind or fans, and today my eyes seem to have recovered. I’m very thankful for this product and will never go without it again. I try to carry it around with me wherever I go.This product has the consistency of Vaseline basically, so when you put it in you will have blurred vision. However, that was something I was willing to live with as the pain was unbearable and the relief this ointment provided was instant. The way I apply it is I lift up my upper eyelid, squeeze some ointment out underneath it, and do the same for the lower one, then I roll my eyes around both ways. I also put this in as many times a day as I need.Update: as of 12/18/24, the sides of the tube split open and began leaking out. I put electrical tape around it, so hopefully that will stop the leaking. I will still use and keep purchasing the product as it’s the only thing that helps me, but may handle it with more care so this doesn’t happen again.

Night time is a good time to lubricate your dry eyes. I live in the desert and Dry Eye is really a problem. Trying to find a night time lubricant in a tube is proving difficult at Target and drug stores. My latest eye exam specified using this form and after several unsuccessful trips to find it, Amazon came to my rescue. I'm dismayed to find how expensive a tiny little tube is and wonder how long it will last before I need to put myself on a regular shipping order.

This is an absolute must for me with my dry eyes. I feel it does better than regular eyedrops. But I only use at night. It is easy to use but you do have to be careful about how much you push on the tube because a lot can come out. You don’t need too much. It is effective in relieving dryness in my eyes. definitely would recommend.
