Allergan Refresh Eye Drops
by MrMonochrome
I first used Refresh eye drops when I had laser surgery to correct my short sighted vision. To help the eyes heal and to relieve the temptation to rub them when itchy after being sliced open the surgeon gave me a couple of different types of drops, Refresh being one of them.
I've kept a pack handy ever since as they do a ... great job of lubricating sore eyes after a day of staring at a computer screen at work or for flushing out any dust/grit etc that gets in your eyes.
The box contains 30 individual single use vials of 0.4ml, one of which is enough to do both eyes. Each vial is sealed with a twist off cap that keeps them sterile until opened and has an eye dropper end so just squeeze the bulb part and out it comes a drop at a time.
I especially find them handy to take out during the summer. Getting any small particles in your eye from a bit of a breeze on a dry dusty golf course or down at the beach can be cleared out with a few drops per eye without the potential for damaging the eyes surface from rubbing.
From my local chemist they are just under £9 for a box, so at 30p a go I think they are well worth it for the comfort they provide.

Allergan Refresh P.M
by NicndDan
Since wearing contact lenses, as mentioned in other reviews, I have developed dry eye and it is particularly bad on a night time. I came across this Allergan Refresh product by accident in store a year or so ago and have been using it ever since to relieve the irritation and it has worked a treat!
Basically this product is a ... liquid eye drop designed to help combat dry and irritable eyes overnight. You simply use the tube and squeeze 1-2 drops per eye and continue as normal. For about a tenner you will get a 12ox pack and this will last you some time dependant on use. You don't have to use it every night and it is designed to be used only when eyes are feeling sore but I tend to use it once every other night to keep the dryness away.
The liquid is light, non oily and slips into the eye with ease and pain free. It is comfortable and doesn't cause any pain. You can actually feel it getting to work straight away as it soothes the eye and within minutes the dryness is gone. One of my pet hates with eye drops its that you can feel them in your eye for ages and the drops sting your eye, but no in this case. They work a wonder and I wake up in the morning with my eyes feeling refreshed and as good as new!
In all this is one of the finest products of its kind that I have had the pleasure of using and if you have dry eye or itchy eye whatever the cause or whatever the scale then using this product will certainly sort you out! Feels great after a long day with lenses in to use this is refresh my eyes ready for the next day!

Allergan Refresh Eye Drops
by NicndDan
When I first started using contact lenses I overused and was told to cut down by my optician. One of the side effects of this has been that I seems to have developed Dry Eye on a regular basis. It comes at unpredictable times but the lenses are definitely the cause of the dry eye and Allergan Refresh Eye Drops are one of the many brand ... of eyes drops I have used to cure this.
I must say that these Allergan Refresh Eye Drops are perhaps the better of the brands I have tried. There is very little difference and when selecting eye drops its going to more about personal taste and different drops will suit different eyes. These suit me fine though and my Dry Eye clears quicker and doesn't come back so soon when using these.
Normal eye drops come in a small bottle with the mechanism for dropping it into the eye already built in. With these Allergan Refresh Eye Drops what you get is 30 small, sterilised tubes to drop it into the eye. Ideal for portability but this comes with a few issues.
I feel that having a small bottle with the same quantity lasts longer someone. If you use on a daily basis the £5.99 or so you will pay for these means you will get two weeks worth if using on both eyes. Not as good a value as elsewhere!
I however feel the effect makes up for the cost and these drops, intended to get rid of dry eye and irritation, seem to make my eye feel normal and moist. Some eye drops are very "heavy" and make the eye feel sore, itchy and as if theres something in it. This is a lighter fluid which drops into the eye causing no pain or irritation and you feel it working straight away. Unlike some eye drops too you tend to forget you have put it in as it doesn't stay around in the eye as some do.
All in all this product gets rid of my dry eye in an instant and has made my eye feel healthier the next day and it has eased my contact lens use as my eyes don't dry up so quickly. Ideal!
