REFRESH CELLUVISC Lubricant Eye Gel Preservative-Free Artificial Tears, 0.01 fl oz (0.4 mL), 30 Single-Use Containers

Wonderfully thick moisturizing eye drops. This is a great eye lubricant for dry eyes. Follow directions and apply last thing at night before closing eyes for sleep. Just know that it will often seep into lashes and dry, matting them closed during the night. BUT, that flakes away easily the next morning, and my eyes are noticeably moisturized during the day. Makes wearing rigid gas perm contact lenses in a cold, dry climate much more comfortable. Very effective drops, and ingredients are non-toxic, unlike many other eye drops with petroleum-based PEGs, etc.

Excellent for those with severe dry eye. I've struggled with severe dry eye since 2020. At first I was prescribed petroleum based eye ointment. However this only served to irritate my eyes. If I didn't use the ointment my eyelids would dry to the eye ball and rip cells of the eye. This not only causes excruciating pain, but impaired my vision for several days while it healed. After nearly a dozen occasions waking up to my eyelids being stuck to the eyeballs, I asked for a new option. I was recommended this glorious product. Unlike the ointment, my eyes are not irritated. However, be mindful this gel can glue your eyes closed overnight. Not a big deal. Simply wet your eye before trying to open them. Unless you could careless about ripping out eyelashes. My lashes are naturally thick and long. This could be why my eyes end up glued shut most nights.

This product was recommended by my Opthamalogist for dry eyes. I use it at night to soothe and moisturize my eyes. I love that it's thicker than just a regular eyedrop. When I wake in the morning, my eyes are free of pain and feel moisturized. It's very easy to use and lasts. Recently my son complained about dry eyes, so I purchased some for him. He immediately felt relief and has not complained since using it.

They are designed to be disposable after a single use, and you will be hard pressed to get multiple uses that maintain an ideal chemical reaction. As such, these economic ratings are not done by milliliters, but by price per whole vial. So the vials with more fluid in them are not necessarily a better deal. That said, some vials may be designed with an unsatisfactory amount of fluid per vial for even a single use. You decide.

So keep your mind open and be willing to try many things. Consider also: humidifiers, night gels, eyelid cleansers, microwaveable hot pads, sunglasses, and anything else out there.

I use this when my eyes feel super dry or tired, especially after a long day of screen time. The gel is thicker than regular eye drops, so it actually stays in your eyes and gives long-lasting relief instead of drying out quickly. It feels very soothing and helps a lot when my eyes are burning or gritty.

I have dry eye and have used many different products. This really works well.I put them in at night before I go to bed

This eye gel has been amazing for keeping my eyes hydrated during my pre- and post-LASIK treatment. My ophthalmologist recommended it, and I completely understand why. It provides long-lasting moisture and really helps relieve dryness and irritation, especially at night or after spending time looking at screens. The texture is thicker than regular artificial tears, which helps the hydration last much longer. My eyes feel much more comfortable after using it, especially during recovery. One thing to know is that right after applying it, your vision can become a little blurry for a few minutes because of the gel consistency. Personally, I expected that and don’t mind it since the moisturizing effect is so good. Overall, an excellent product for dry eyes and LASIK recovery. I would definitely keep repurchasing it.

Great product for dry eye.

I got the order before time and it was in good condition.

I've always bought eye drops bottles that have to be thrown away after a month. Because these are single use vials, I need to use only one at a time and the pack lasts long. Also, the drops are gel so they are very soothing for dry, tired eyes.

Good

The eye drops pack was very hot when delivered, so I’m concerned it may be damaged and unsafe to use. Please replace it.
