Best eye drops, lubricants & washes according to redditors

I don't have a local physician recommendation, but I can tell you that using the best eye drops post-surgery is critical.

I used these as often as my eyes needed them (as often as every 15 minutes for the couple of days post-surgery). They're very expensive, much more expensive than the big bottles, but you're spending $4k on the surgery don't cheap out on the drops. :)

Best of luck - 5 years later it's the best money I've ever spent and I still have 20/15 vision.

Here ya go boys.

Have you considered any dietary changes to see if that may help? I say this with full understanding of how hard it can be, I have been cutting things out/experimenting with what works best for my various autoimmune conditions for the last 5 years.

I have been on an elimination diet called the Autoimmune Protocol for over a year now. I think cutting out all grains and soy is the best thing I’ve ever done for my health.

I also take a medication called cevemeline to increase tear and saliva production and it helps tremendously! I added a sea buckthorn oil supplement and it does seem to help, along with lots of preservative-free eye drops. My doctor recommends those because they have the added flax seed oil to help lubricate the eyes naturally.

I hope you find something that works for you, this disease is the worst! Sending big hugs <3

Thank you ♥️ my doses were as follows:
Month 1:
20mg
Month 2 & 3:
40mg
Month 4:
80mg

Luckily I never really popped my pimples so I never got deep scars; only hyperpigmentation. I avoid the sun like the plague so that's going away on its own.

I should be taking fish oil for joint pain but I'm not lol

There's still loads more that can be done. Try the various brands of drugstore artificial tears; here's a site breaking down the different major ingredients. Like others have said, Retaine MGD is nice. Bausch & Lomb Soothe XP is similar in composition. My go-to is the Refresh Optive line (Optive, Optive Advanced, Optive Mega-3) but everyone is different.

Is Xyzal the only allergy med that works? Allegra, Claritin? I'm more of a Zyrtec person myself, and I stay far away from Allegra which my eyes hate.

If punctual plugs were only inserted in the lower ducts, they can also be inserted in the upper ducts as well. Prescription eye drops like Restasis or Xiidra. Here's a simple handout showing all the different treatment options that can be done either by yourself or by your doctor. Oh yeah, and an eye mask while you sleep.

I don't want to be too negative, but it seems like your lasik center is ignoring you and is hoping you'll just go away. You might want to go to your own outside optometrist and get a proper dry eye plan. I know you weren't planning on the extra cost (and the prescription eye drops can also get pricey) but hey, it's still less expensive than ICL surgery!

I bring contacts and these single use eye drops. They have never been taken from me. I bring contacts because in ‘14 El Chapo and the Bass Pod fire got me all at once and lost my contacts. Couldn’t see from around 12 to I got back to the room at 9am hahaha won’t happen again lol

Refresh Optive Lubricant Eye Drops, 30 Single-Use Containers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001J4BGMM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-us9AbWRAJMY5

I use the systane drops. I already used them before i started smoking for medical reasons since i have really dry eyes, but it helps with smoking dry eyes as well. These are great since they don't have preservatives, and i ususally use about a vial a day.

https://www.amazon.com/Systane-Vials-Eye-Drops-Count/dp/B014PEZR1S/ref=sr_1_7_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1466035054&sr=8-7&keywords=systane+ultra

The brand I like the best is
SYSTANE ULTRA Lubricant Eye Drops, 60 Vials, 0.7-mL Each https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014PEZR1S?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

I like blink too but I think the above brand does a better job.

Anything cold on your eyelids helps restrict the capillaries and reduces redness. You could use ice, cold wet towel, cucumber slices etc. Put an ice cube in a towel and hold for 5 mins. Buy artificial tears (saline solution), put it in the fridge and pour into your eyes. It will be gone in about 15 mins or less.

Please do not frequently use redness relief eye drops! They can cause permanent damage, and make your eyes bloodshot and dependent on them (using them everyday may turn your eyes into a slight tint of red). The active ingredient in Clearine, ie Naphazoline isn't something to play with (it is very dangerous if ingested even in small amounts), Also, naphazoline, the active ingredient in some OTC solutions, it can cause an irregular heart rate, high blood pressure, severe headache, and difficulty breathing. Plus, it may damage the blood vessels in the eyes.

Both clearine and i-kul have stopped will slowly stop being available since Naphazoline is banned by the health ministry. You can thus use Vasozine/Visine which uses a different active ingreadient (Tetrahydrozoline). Vasozine should cost about Rs 30, not sure of its availability in Chennai.

If you are really desperate and have a lot of cash to splurge, use this:

https://www.amazon.ca/Systane-Lid-Wipes-Eyelid-Cleansing/dp/B0087PBSJM?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0

Systane EyeCleansing wipes.
Technically they're for eye makeup but I find they do a good job with my whole face and are quite big.

It's a contact solution company so they're big on sterile solutions and gentle on eyes.

I use these glasses from Amazon for when I'm on the computer.

I also use these lubricating eyedrops (I have dry eyes from Lasik). A bottle can last me anywhere between 4-6 months.

The glasses, eyedrops, and flux (as others have mentioned) together make a world of a difference. I wouldn't be able to go on the computer for so long without them. I really recommend to give the three a try!

I second this info. I worked for optometrists for several years and that is also what they all said. It is always good to get an eye exam, but here are some tricks you can try before spending too much money: 1. Take a short break for 4-5 minutes every hour to look away from your screen and bink/close your eyes. 2. Get some eye drops like Optive, Blink, or Systain Ultra (my favorite) and use them during those breaks (at least 3 times a day, more if needed). If you live in the US you can get these at a local drug store, and probably get a smaller/cheaper size to start out to see if it helps.

Well you should really go seen an ophthalmologist for a check up at least once to make sure it's nothing serious. If it's just plain dry eye you still need to find the cause. Gunk in your eyes in the morning (stringy yellow, crusted over) could be bleph, conjunctivitis, allergies... different causes have different treatments.
 

If your eyes burn or sting frequently it's helpful to do warm compresses twice a day. Terry cloth in water as warm as you can tolerate over closed eyes for 5-10 mins. If it's bleph you need to do frequent lid hygiene with lid wipes and if it's dry eye syndrome you need to determine what kind it is because not all eyedrops are equal, some address insufficient lipids in your tear film and some are merely hyperosmolar; if it's autoimmune you'll need to consider restasis or another cyclosporine eyedrop. So my advice would be to see an ophth once for a screening (for peace of mind) and see what he/she says. Then if it's nothing serious you can just carry on treatments by yourself.
 

Oh, and they have moisture chamber goggles for people who can't fully close their lids but that looks so uncomfortable. A regular eyemask can help most people (I've tried but they end up on my floor cuz I toss and turn in bed), but most are designed so poorly they hurt my ears. These kao masks are so dang comfortable you could potentially just reuse/recycle them for night use and chuck them if they get old or dirty. Eye ointments are also recommended to prevent them drying out as you sleep.

I use these wipes:
https://www.amazon.com/OCuSOFT-Scrub-Original-Pre-Moistened-Count/dp/B000PY15I2/ref=pd_aw_fbt_121_img_2/135-5832764-6374866?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B000PY15I2&pd_rd_r=4aad4724-5754-11e9-9cc9-7768f6408781&pd_rd_w=cgCI5&pd_rd_wg=96CRV&pf_rd_p=3ecc74bd-d08f-44bd-96f3-d0c2b89f563a&pf_rd_r=89V24JFV9MY3JYSYD3SW&psc=1&refRID=89V24JFV9MY3JYSYD3SW&utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app


But I only use them maybe once or twice a week. Like if I wore eye makeup (I usually only do this on weekends) I will use them, and they take makeup off so well! They might be a little drying to the skin around the eye, though I have never had red or flakey skin from them. I just think it might be a lot to use them every day.


The stye eye drops are a brand from CVS. These: Similasan Stye Eye Relief Drops, 0.33 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0082328LG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_31SPCbN0848GH

I love them. I usually use them as a preventative measure, but also they help when you have a stye. Although now I get them less because of these two products!

https://www.amazon.com/Rohto-Cool-Redness-Relief-Drops/dp/B00I9K3C12

That are in a box as shown in the link above.
I usually get mine from Walmart or maybe in a gas station.

Any without preservatives, personally I like clear eyes multi symptom preservative free eye drops because you can buy them in a whole bottle instead of single use vials, plus it's only like 8$ off amazon

Clear Eyes PRESERVATIVE FREE Pure Relief Multi-Symptom .3 fluid ounces https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BU6E7LU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_.8rvzb5MS55WG

Are you talking about these ones? Systane Ultra Lubricant Eye Drops, 60 Count,Pack of 1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014PEZR1S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_eBTTDbS25DVPQ

They do seem like they could be more long lasting, can the vials be reused?

Phenylephrine might do it, but I don't believe you'll be able to get it in eyedrop form without some ability to prescribe it.

this might be able to do it. I'd recommend against it as the dilation usually causes photosensitivity, and is painful.

Have you ever tried gel eye drops? I used them at night because I sleep with my eyes cracked open. It was causing serious dryness. Works pretty well.

this one, or whatever I can find at target

Maybe. You might have just an eyewash bottle in the first aid kit or something like that. I work in a office building and we don't really use chemicals and we have something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/First-Aid-Only-7-600-Piece/dp/B002A64SI2/

I used a gold lens for years. I would use nothing else. The only issue I ever had was, like others have noted, they scratch easily.

You think that your outer lens with its gasket will protect it. It does to an extent. However, when you are out in the field, shit gets underneath it, guaranteed! It is the nature of the beast.

My advice, always be hyper aware of how your eyes feel. Understand, even if you do not actually see a scratch this doesn't mean that there isn't a scratch. It might be extremely small and even a small scratch will let UV rays in and if that happens, be ready for a shitty night. Flashburn ain't nothing to mess with. You will want to cut your eyeballs out from their sockets to make the pain stop.

Keep extra lenses in your bucket/box/gangbox/whatever you use to carry/store your tools in. Keep them protected. If you feel your eyes start to feel dry, gritty, etc... (too late at that point but you can prevent it from getting worse) take your lens out, look it over thoroughly. If it is scratched, throw it out and replace it with a new one. Gold lenses are cheap. Cheap enough to always have a few with you at all times. Remember, you only get one set of eyes and again, I cannot stress enough, flashburn sucks... bad!

Invest in this! For real, it works! Visine is bad for your eyes... that stuff is good! Especially when coupled with those numbing drops that an eye doctor will prescribe sometimes.

The only thing I've experienced that was worse than flashburn was trying to dig the metal shavings from using a burr bit on tubes out of my eye (long story but take my advice, always wear safety glasses... even if they fall 200 feet below you while you are on a pickboard inside the firebox of a boiler)

Here is what I wrote out for this other guy,

Check our /r/diy_ejuice[1] great community lots of info and recipes!

Order the nicotine and your STARTER flavorings from https://wizardlabs.us[2]


Order either 60 or 100mg pg based(if you aren't allergic) nicotine for math reasons, they both calculate pretty even. Also the 100mg one will last a lot longer but it kind of depends on what is in stock.


For the flavors it's best to order your beginning ones there too until you know what you like,because they sell like same size ones for $1.99 (prob about enough for 80-140 milliliters depending on your preferred flavor %
once I knew what I wanted I started ordering from high desert vapes
https://highdesertvapes.com/categories/DIY/[3]
(they resell flavorings so you get a GOOD discount)


P. S. On HDV ellas=capellas (you have to order ellas sweet strawberry, my most ordered and one of my faves. I also recommend fruit stripe gum, but I forgot who made it it's a newer one I just picked up!)


Don't forget to order syringes and I accidentally ordered a shit ton of size 14 needles for them and it's really hard to pull up VG since it's so thick so get a bigger one for that. Also make sure before you use them that you put tape over the numbers because they will come off really fast if you don't.


I actually buy all of my PG and VG locally Walmart sells VG (if you are interested let me know and I'll send you a pic of what the bottle looks like) but it's in the skin ointment aisle.


Tractor supply company sells a gallon of PG for $23 best deal ever. I'm never running out! Lol
You'll need bottles as well (way more expensive than you'd think, there are some cheapish options on Amazon for like 50 10ml bottles.

that is what I use now

Download the program ejuicemeup that's your calculator. Love it.

Uhm.... I'm probably forgetting something any questions, just ask.


Edit: holy novel


Edit 2: I remembered something else, try and get familiar with the list of flavors known to crack tanks
http://discountvapers.com/liquids-and-tanks/[6]


Edit 3:links!


REAL EDIT: formatting, I usually use capellas but there are certain flavors that certain people do better. I'd say Capellas = fruit FW = dessert TFA = candy like Lorannes = Fruit candy like

and steeping I am really lazy and don't wait to vape and it still tastes pretty good. I'll make about 15 ml and it will just get better and better as it goes :D

I actually can't compare since I was an early adapter to DIY and I didn't ever ger into ordering juices online. I can tell you everyone I've let try it so far has LOVED it. you may want to tweak it a little for your own preferences like if you want it a little more cinnamon-y or a little sweeter but each person likes things a little different

I wish I had a good answer. I struggle with a version of this myself. I am fine all day but use eye drops at night and any time I wake up in the middle of the night.

My doctor says mine is dry eyes from digital eye strain. He says he can see the dry cracks on my eyes.

Sigh.


Do you think it’s the lack of sleep or are those other hours spent staring at a lot of blue light?

Here’s what I’m doing:

Phone on warm all the time. F.lux in my computer.

Bulletproof Eye Armour.

Microwavable Eye Mask for Moist Heat

Eye Drops with oil in them

Eye Ointment

I use this at night.

And Gunnar blue blocking lenses.


Sigh. It all helps a little and nothing has made it all go away.


My eye doctor recommends the miBo eye treatment and I’m seriously contemplating it. I live in a small town and it’s a hour each way so I haven’t quite gotten around to it buts it’s been bad enough lately I’m about to get my buns in gear. Each treatment is $150 or 200 but he does a package that is normally $600 for $450 for upfront payment. I can’t recall if it’s 3 or 4 treatments. Not covered by insurance.

Hope some of this helps. Good luck.

Have you tried Retaine Eye drops? My dry eyes stem from my eyelid oil glands not producing enough oil. Retaine essentially supplies my eyes with that oil and dry eyes during the day has gotten dramatically better. They're a little expensive, but worth it for day time relief.

Best eye drops ever

I really like these eye drops. They have a night time version too, which is a bit thicker. I use the regular ones when I’m having a reaction to my makeup or my contacts are super dry (though they don’t specifically say contact safe).

People absolutely swear by tarte shape tape concealer and urban decay all nighter setting spray . I haven’t tried tarte’s concealer because I’m allergic to literally every product I’ve tried from them lol. I do have the urban decay all nighter setting spray and I think it works super well but I’ve never tried it without powder (which I assume you’d do).

I know that this is a waterproof foundation. I have personally used this and had to stop because I couldn’t fully wash it off my face at night lol.

Makeup Forever has a line of waterproof stuff, such as this concealer. I have only ever worn their foundation stick, which I enjoyed.

The only thing I haven't seen around here is to bring individual use eye drops. My GF got lasik a couple years ago so she needs these things, especially w all the dust.

Thought only she'd use em, but our whole group was pretty amped to lube up the eyeballs, so we kept the box in the locker for all to use.

amazon link

seconding everything this guy says, though i use optive preservative free instead of the modudose. and i never leave home without the contact lens inserters, makes it so much easier and hygenic to refresh your lenses with new fluid.

Have you seen or used similisan?
https://www.amazon.com/Similasan-Stye-Relief-Drops-Ounce/dp/B0082328LG

Just posting an anecdote for anyone else who stumbles on this thread:

I've had a bad dry eye situation developing in my left eye for a few months. It's most likely due to a chalazion or blocked duct that's caused some inflammation. The eyelid doesn't close properly so the eye dries out while I'm sleeping. The lump in the eyelid also puts some pressure on the eye. For a while, when I'd wake up it would feel like someone was ripping a piece of duct tape off my dry eyeball. It would burn and sting for an hour or so before I could properly function. I got it sort of under control by doing regular warm compresses and sleeping with a headband over my eyes in such a way that it put just enough pressure on the lid to help keep it closed tightly. I've also been using Systane gel or ointment overnight. I've gone back and forth between the headband and this hydrating sleep mask. With all that I was still having flare-ups a couple of times a week when I'd wake up. I found that a cold compress (damp washcloth with water as cold as possible) helps with the pain. My eye seems to put off a LOT of heat when it's irritated. Oh, I also take 1000mg of fish oil in the morning and another 1000mg right before bed.

Last week I had a really bad flare-up in the middle of the afternoon not anywhere close to when I'd been sleeping. The compress only helped a little bit. It was burning like fire and it felt like there was a gigantic splinter or something in my eye. It finally calmed down after an hour or so but it was low-level burning the rest of the day. The next day it started up again in the morning and took hours to get under control and continued to burn for most of the day. That's when I found this post.

I started the regimen described in the link on Friday morning and have been doing really well so far. I saw my cornea doctor this morning (I'd last seen him about three months ago when all of this started) and he said that most of the erosion is healed and that he's never seen such a drastic improvement before. My eye feels mostly better - I've been sleeping with the hydration mask on for the last few nights and I haven't had any flare-ups since I started TheraTears. I do feel like there's a slight burning from time to time, and every once in a while when I'm doing a compress I do feel the "foreign body sensation" a bit, but not as severely as I had before. My eyes still feel pretty dry when I wake up but as soon as I start the TheraTears regimen they feel more comfortable. I'm still doing compresses as close to 3x per day as I can, and still scrubbing my eyelids with baby shampoo every day as this hopefully will help prevent more duct clogging.

I'm cautiously optimistic. It does seem, right now, that TheraTears is as effective as OP says. I will also say that this is the most frequent eyedrop regimen I've ever embarked on/stuck with, so it could also just be that more regular lubrication is working wonders, regardless of the brand. I don't know, but I'm sticking with the TheraTears for now.

Here are a couple of other products I've been using:

Eye compress/mask. This is nice because you just put it on your head and don't have to sit there and hold it. Stays hot for about 8-10 minutes and pretty warm for another 10 or so after that. I heat this up for 23 seconds and listen to a podcast or something while it does its thing. Goal is 3x a day but I often can only manage 1 or 2.

USB heated eye mask. As many people have pointed out, this doesn't put out enough heat to be a substitute for other compresses, but I figure some heat is better than no heat, right? Sometimes I put this on at bedtime, set for 30 minutes. At some point later if I wake up after it shuts off, I switch to the hydration mask.

Systane overnight ointment. I put a blob of this in after the last TheraTears round for the day, right before sleep.

Genteel Severe Gel. I hit it with this any time it's feeling a little dry and/or fatigued, and I'm in between TheraTears rounds. I use this one if I can afford to have a blurry eye for a few minutes, but if I'm really busy I just go with regular Systane Complete drops.

If anyone is experiencing anything similar to what I've described, try this stuff. And with all of the treatments I've talked about (drops, compresses, lid scrubs), BE CONSISTENT. I know they are a pain in the ass and take up a lot of time but when I look at all the times things have gotten out of control with my eyes (I've had issues with chalazions for almost 20 years now) it's usually when I'm not being good about routines and hygiene.

I use these ones, and I think they're great.

Avoid ones that are for redness relief, as those can actually end up drying your eyes out more. Make sure you go for the lubricating eye drops.

Was looking through my old comments and thought I would be right on time with this comment. :)

Refresh Optive

It is stupidly expensive, but also the best eyedrops I've ever used. Avid gamer, all-day computer user (work), and having had Lasik...my eyes get dry and I've tried a lot of brands. I have not tried the generic of this (CVS)...may work just as well.

+1 for celluvisc. I use it everyday along with addipak saline. I find it to be more comfortable than just saline alone

Last visit at the eye doctor, he said that the celluvisc makes the solution more viscous (thicker) which makes it harder for dust and other irritants to get under the lens. I have heard other folks say it helps with fogging as well.

Try this and wear a sleeping mask. It's possible your eyes are getting dried out causing irritation.

Tears aren't just water but also oils. You might have watery eyes without the proper lubrication of the oils.

On the rare occasions that I use eye drops, I prefer this

These are random to pretty much everyone... but me... I use them a lot. I make aromatherapy stuff.

pretty California

Phrasing!

Edit: Okay, I think I was just happy to see my first Archer reference of the day. I'll try again.

Do they make Quietus for elk?
