Systane Nighttime Lubricant Eye Ointment 3.5g Tube

The only thing that really helped after wind burned eyes
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.

A Must-Have for Dry Eyes at Night
The Systane Nighttime Lubricant Eye Ointment has been a lifesaver for my nighttime dry eye issues. This 3.5g tube may seem small, but a little goes a long way. One tiny dab provides long-lasting relief throughout the night.What sets this product apart is its rich, soothing formula. It creates a protective layer that locks in moisture and prevents that gritty, uncomfortable feeling I used to wake up with. While it’s thicker than typical eye drops, the ointment stays in place and delivers all-night comfort.Yes, it does leave your vision slightly blurry when first applied (as expected with any ointment), so I recommend using it right before bedtime. For me, it’s a small trade-off for the incredible hydration and relief it provides.If you struggle with severe dry eyes or are looking for something to boost your eye care routine at night, I can’t recommend this enough. My eyes feel healthier and more comfortable in the morning, and I won’t be going without it!

Only thing that relieves my dry eye
I get really bad dry eye every winter. It’s incredibly frustrating because my eye becomes itchy and dry, and I get light sensitivity. I’ve tried many different drops, which help my eyes feel relieved for a couple of minutes, but then I’m back to square one. I’ve been using a humidifier, which has been helping, in addition to this, and my eyes feel much more relieved. My left eye is always much worse than my right eye, so I use it more on the left. It’s a small tube, but if you suffer with dry eyes, it’s worth it, as it soothes your eyes much longer than drops. Will be repeat purchasing.

Excellent for dry eyes
This stuff is a bit expensive, but is the best for dry eyes. I use it as I live in a desert environment. Great as a lubricant at night
