Optrex Refreshing Eye Drops
by NicndDan
Ever since I started wearing contact lenses I have been suffering from dry eye and every since wearing the lenses I have turned to a variety of products to aid and refresh my eyes. Thus I have sampled a fair few in my time, some great, some not so great but this product has impressed me and I have been using these eye drops ever since I ... bought the first bottle in the middle of last year.
The reason I actually bought these was that a friend of mine recommended them and I had known him to suffer from really bad dry eye so if he was saying that this is a grade a product then it surely must be.I hunted it down and found a local chemist selling this for £2.99 a bottle which is about middle of the road for these sort of goods. You get what you pay for so hunting down simply the cheapest product will not work very well in your favour and you will end up buying again!
You get 10ml worth of drops which last me about 2-3 weeks. You have to use them within a month of opening so that's the maximum use you can expect but I use them once or twice per eye every night and sometimes during long days on the computer. It eases everything just fine and makes my eyes feel alive.
The drops fall into the eye and you can feel them working straight away. The mixture is not too thick and certainly not at all greasy meaning it feels smooth on the eye and if you have had previous problems entering the drops you will find this more comfortable. After a long day working with computers and paperwork, I come in, remove the lenses and can feel this working all night. My Dry Eye days are gone and this is such a good product. Theres no residue, no itching and it works with a deep refreshing feel!
I have sampled more than enough of these product to be able to call myself an expert so these are the type to go for.

Potters Allerclear Eye Drops
by rosaliecullen
==Overview==
After suffering from desperate hayfever year upon year and spending more and more time through the summer months snivvling into a tissue and mopping up my running, red, blearey eyes, I was desperate to try anything to help me out. I had been prescribed eyedrops from the Doctor's, several types in fact but none of ... them seemed to help at all. Having read an article in a Sunday paper free magazine which suggested Potter' AllerClear eye drops (a herbal alternative), I decided absolutely anything was worth a shot even if it sounded a little bit hippy at the time.
==Positives==
You get 10 in each pack, they are individual plastic 'sachets' (difficult to explain, see the photo). You twist off the top and drop them into the eye. I like that they are individual as it reduces the chance of bacteria build up in the dropper. One 'sachet' is more than enough for both eyes. The best positive however is THEY ACTUALLY WORK! My eyes really start to calm down immediately, I try to keep my itchy fingers away from my eyes too, but the Allerclear eyedrops really soothe the itching and make the burn go away. The herbal remedy within them is called 'eyebright'. They are also suitable for contact lens wearers and pregnant/breastfeeding ladies (according to the website).
==Negatives==
I can truthfully say that there is not one negative about these eyedrops, they actually truly work and soothe the eyes. I have recommended them to many hayfever sufferers and they found the same, these eyedrops are truly a gift from the hayfever-hating Gods! (Can't say the same for the Allerclear nasal spray though - review forthcoming). They are quite expensive, around 50p per individual sachet but to be perfectly honest if you suffer from itchy eyes as badly as I do, it is worth every penny.
==Where to purchase==
You can purchase these eyedrops in Boots or Tesco. Boot's often do offers where you can buy 3 packs for the price of 2, which means you get 30 sachets for £10 making them slightly cheaper. This is where I usually buy them from.
==Overall==
Don't delay! If you suffer from hayfeverish eyes, try some of these, I'm positive you won't regret it.

Clarymist Eye Spray
by karenlovesmoney
=Clarymist Eye Spray=
Over the last 6 months, I have reintroduced my eyes to contact lenses, I now wear daily disposable lenses, but find that as I do not wear them every day, my eyes feel a little dry.
Whilst most products such as optrex are for rinsing the eye, the Clarymist eyespray you can use when wearing your lenses, you ... can also have your eyes closed and you can apply it when you have make up on it.
=The Bottle=
The contents are 10ml, whilst this may not sound much, you get 100 doses from the spray. You can purchase this from Amazon although it has been rebranded to "Eye Logic Dry Spray formally Clarymist", a bottle is presently £11.90, with free posting
=use By=
I was really impressed with the use by on this product, as once opened it lasts for 3 years, although personally I don't see the bottle lasting that long, but it is good as if you use it occassionally you still have plenty of time to use it.
=To Use=
To use the spray you hold, about 1ocm from your eye, and you sprat once or twice into each eye. If you have your eyes closed the product still works, but it takes a minute or two to work, your eyes feel damp, not soaking wet that the lenses would fall out, ok i admit I thought that might happen, the feeling of extra wetness stayed with me and my eyes generally felt more moist and comfortable.
=Active Ingredients=
The brand states that the eye spray will treat the deficiency in the liquid layer of the eye which is the cause of dry eye syndrome, with no suppression of the blink reflex. it also makes the lid soft and moist reducing inflammation of lid margins
=My thoughts=
This is an excellent product, although it is on the pricer side, the ability to be able to use on an as and when basis, such as full eye make up and contact lenses.
I WOULD SAY THAT IF YOU DO SUFFER WITH DRY EYES ON MORE THAN AN AD-HOC BASIS THEN SEE YOUR OPTICIAN - ALSO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE REGULAR EYE TESTS AND CONTACT LENSES CHECK UPS
