Do any of you guys use eye drops? I have dry eye, and I was instructed to use preservative free eye drops you can buy over the counter. I find myself lately though, trying to be less tired by using the eye drops. Well, no surprise, the drops aren’t giving me more energy (I thought they might wake me up). It’s a useless effort. Yet, I keep doing it. Anywho, I recommend Systane or Soothe, and always get preservative free unless your eye doctor says otherwise. My ophthalmologist told me that, but then I don’t really trust him anyway. I trust his partners though, so there’s that.

Yes, I do. I use Restasis Medicated Eye Drops for dry eyes. My eye doctor tried to prescribe Soothe and Systane but Medicaid wouldn't pay for those so he prescribed Restasis and Medicaid pays for them.
I use the drops twice a day when I wake up and before I go to bed. When I complained about my eyes hurting during the daytime, the doctor told me to get regular dry eye drops from Walmart and use them anytime I needed them otherwise. Pretty bought Equate brand dry eye drops. They also help.
Uhm... The Restasis eye drops come in little tubes that are resealable and I'm supposed to throw them away after each use but there is enough meds still in one tube that I can use the same tube a couple of days before opening a new tube...

I have dry eye too. I have drops ….but I’m a naughty girl and don’t use them as often as I should ! I have been buying them but I guess now that I am 60 and get free prescriptions I should ask the Dr about them.

Rohto. That's the brand of eye drops that I like from Japan. It relieves eye strain, dryness, and redness. it's very relaxing and cool to the yees. But I don't use it often.
There was just a period in my life when my work was 12 hours and it had to be in front of the computer.

I use them sparingly in the spring. Prescription drops for allergies.
