Optrex 10 ml Moisturising Eye Drops: Contact Lens Safe, Relieves Irritation, Soothes Inflammation, Hydrates, Provides Comfort for Dry and Sensitive Eyes

​I was previously prescribed a different brand of eye drops for dry eyes, but once I had to start paying for my prescriptions out of pocket, I looked for a more budget-friendly alternative and found this 10ml bottle of Optrex.​When comparing the two, this was an absolute no-brainer. Not only is the price significantly cheaper, but the concentration of the active ingredient is actually stronger than my previous brand, and you get a very decent amount of product.​The instructions on the bottle advise using 2 drops per eye (unlike my old brand which was just 1 drop), despite this being a stronger solution. When I initially tried doing 2 drops, I found the formula to be very thick and slightly oily, which is actually fantastic for severe dry eye relief. However, because it is so thick, the second drop would just slide straight out of my eye and run down my face unless I sat and waited a couple of minutes between drops.​Because of this, I adapted my routine. I am perfectly happy doing just 1 drop per eye, 3 to 4 times a day. It works brilliantly for me and makes the bottle last even longer.​The first week was a bit of an adjustment period; my left eye in particular felt extra dry and "stingy" as it got used to the new formula. But once that phase passed, the results have been amazing. My eyes feel incredibly lubricated and comfortable, and as a massive bonus, the tension headaches I used to get from eye strain are 10 times better.​A superior formula, better price, and fantastic long-term relief. I won't be going back to my old brand.

Comforting for when my eyes are dry

Great, do the job, I would recommend

It does the job as expected, however, this is the best price that I can find anywhere and beats chemist's and supermarket prices.

Is fine, but need like twice a day doesn't last too long.

Handy for sore eyes.
