I used to use Blink when I wore contacts. It was my only contact drop. I just got PRK, so now I’m using tear vials every hour or so. These are much better than Systane or Refresh Plus. Blink is more soothing and more lubricating. Blink’s eye products are just better overall. Read more

I had used Thera tears for years and suddenly I was having lots of eye irritation. Switched to these and all better! Read more

LOWEST RANK IS CHEAPEST.) Allergan Refresh: #4, $0.45 per vial Bausch & Lomb: #2 tied, $0.37 per vial Blink Tears: #3, $0.44 per vial Similasan: #6, $0.50 per vial Systane Ultra: #5, $0.48 per vial Tears Naturale: #1, $0.33 per vial Theratears: #2 tied, $0.37 per vial **note: I found that almost all vials contain fluid that will deteriorate into a hardened gel (due to lack of preservatives) before I could finish using them. They are designed to be disposable after a single use, and you will be hard pressed to get multiple uses that maintain an ideal chemical reaction. As such, these economic ratings are not done by milliliters, but by price per whole vial. So the vials with more fluid in them are not necessarily a better deal. That said, some vials may be designed with an unsatisfactory amount of fluid per vial for even a single use. You decide. GRAND TOTAL RECOMMENDATIONS Allergan Refresh: Recommended for evening/nighttime use Bausch & Lomb: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Blink Tears: Recommended with reservations Similasan: Not Recommended Systane Ultra: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Tears Naturale: Not Recommended Theratears: Not Recommended Everyone's eye chemistry is different, and different products will affect each person uniquely. So keep your mind open and be willing to try many things. Consider also: humidifiers, night gels, eyelid cleansers, microwaveable hot pads, sunglasses, and anything else out there. Read more
