Refresh Celluvisc Lubricant Eye Gel Drops, Single-Use Containers, 30 Count (Pack of 1)

best eyedrops I’ve ever used — and it’s #4 plastic, so recyclable
UPDATE: Refresh tells me the vials are #4 plastic, and that’s something that most recycling programs accept. So…recycle them!UPDATE: the only downside for me (other than all the unrecyclable plastic) is that the gel is so thick (which I like) that it forms “sleep” in the corners of my eyes and dry flaky deposits on my eyelids, I can see them, they create tiny spots in my vision, and I’m always pulling/rubbing my eyes/eyelids/lashes to get rid of them.I’ve got dry eyes, have had several eye surgeries, often it feels like there’s a grain of sand in my eye, allergies make them itch and burn and redden, a thinning cornea in the corner post-surgery so I also have to use a doxycycline ointment – I’ve got it all.I’ve used bottled drops for centuries and they’ve never worked well for me — they just get diluted and dry up too quickly. I’ve tried the gels, which are much longer lasting, but the problem with all of these I think is the preservatives — too often the drops/gels make my eyes burn for a while after using them. This stuff does not — it feels immediately soothing, no stinging, it’s thick enough to last for hours. It does blur my vision for a few minutes.My only concern is all the plastic — I can get two doses out of each vial, so I have to use only one vial a day, but still 30 of those vials adds up to a lot of plastic. They’re the only reason the drops can be preservative-free, but I think Refresh ought to have a program where you can return the empty vials to them. As far as I know, no recycling program takes them — I can’t find any identifying triangle with a number on them, and besides they’re probably too small. Still, Refresh needs to recycle their plastic — it could even save them money.

Hydrates really dry eyes
Because my eyes can be terribly dry if i do not add drops regularly, it sometimes takes 2-3 vials of drops but truly moistens my eyes for many hours.

Incredible! Game Changer!
When I saw the eye dr a few months ago, I was told to try a product of this type. I had zero experience with gel drops. I am was impressed with the easy transition to the different system for use. Each dose is in a plastic vial and somehow holding something smaller with gel in it allowed me way better aim. The drops are soothing right away. The first use was a delight. The more I use this product, the less dryness issues I have over all. This product has been a welcome relief and a game changer for me! My dry eye impacts affected my vision entirely too much! I have so much more functionality and hope for my sight now after years of sadly resigning myself to allegedly normal age related degeneration! I really appreciate the new lease on life I feel now! Thank You For Helping Me!

Amazing product, I wish it came in one single bottle
These are a lifesaver! A few months ago, I noticed that my tears would burn if I rubbed my eyes. I also started waking up with a lot of gunk in my eyes, experiencing blurry vision throughout the day (which wasn’t helped by the fact that I work in front of a computer all day), and feeling as though my eyes were heavy and filled with sand.Concerned, I visited my ophthalmologist, who prescribed a steroid ointment, suspecting mild inflammation due to allergies.However, around the same time, the skin under my right eye cracked open. I went for a follow-up, where a doctor diagnosed me with blepharitis (chronic eyelid inflammation). I was given a regimen to follow, including eyelid wipes, eye drops for dry eye relief, and another ointment. But even after two weeks, my left eye wasn’t improving.My ophthalmologist then recommended that I see a cornea specialist—and thank God I did! It turned out I had severely inflamed eyes, blocked oil glands, and even bening tumors called pinguecula growing in my eyes. Fortunately, there was a solution: this product, along with heated eye compresses.Even after my excessive watery eye issues resolved, I continued using these drops. Since they’re preservative-free, I know they’re safe for long-term use. My doctor assured me they would work wonders—and she was absolutely right!

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.

Refresh celluvisc drops are costly and uselessThey are not your money’s worth
