The dry red eye syndrome can last into the next day sometimes. I like Rohto they have some kind of menthol that really give a rejuvenating feel.

Thank you, Doctor! Very useful video and I don’t have to spend a lot of money just for the eye drops for my dry eyes.

No doctor has helped me with an explanation of all this. Thank you.

This channel is such a gem! Thank you, Dr. Tai!

Thank for the information! I suffer from chronic dry eyes 🥺

I used to use Tears, Naturalle for years but they seem to have stopped manufacturing it now. I have to use Systane these days. Glad she recommends these drops. I feel safer now. Thank you.

Thank you for all your knowledge you share about these eye drops.

Thank you for your informative videos. Eye health is a significant concern for me and I appreciate your presentations.

Very informative. Never knew the significance of non preservative solutions and possible interactions from taking drops too often

I like all of the Refresh eye drops. I also have to use Muro 128 and an eye pad that you heat up twice a day. Those have made a huge difference.

Yes, Systane is available in Malaysia..Thank you for this educational info.

Seeing you is like seeing my sister as we are Chinese overseas. Much obligated for your excellent talk.🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍

Wonderful thanks for posting! 😊

Thank you Dr.Tai. Very helpful & informative.

I am a 69-year-old male and have had dry eyes (only at night) for many years. I have been using Bion Tears when I wake up nearly every night for years and find those drops very comfortable.

Thank yo for posting this helpful video!

God Bless Doc Tai for all of your wisdom to help all of us.

I am 75 years old and I have suffered from acute dry eyes (at night) from the time I was around 30. I have tried many brands of drops with very limited different results between them. Being affected with irritable bowel syndrome, I have gradually removed many foods from my diet. It is when I stopped consuming milk products that my eyes suddenly stopped being dry to my amazement. Since then, I have been able to link the condition to various foods which I avoid. Nowadays, I seldom use my bottle of drops.

I have dry eyes at night due to year round allergies. I am allergic to dust. I have found cold compresses and drinking lots of water helps. I think the eyes swell at night. My post nasal drip gets worse at night. I have tried all conventional allergy treatments with very minimal help. The drugs make the eyes drier.

Freshkote came to me recommended by an Ophthalmologist. It contains polyvinyl alcohol 2.7% and povidone 2% and is preservative free. It is expensive but seems to work well. Appreciated your time Doctor and particularly the explanations and diagrams of how these products work on the different elements of the eye physiology.

Dr. Tai, we have something in common. My Chinese family name is Tai. Really enjoy your videos. Informative and interesting. Thank you.

Thank you, Dr. Tai!

Its amazing.. i am over 50, am far-sighted and have an astigmatism.. i noticed for long time i had blurry and hazy vision.. i could not look at a computer screen, my phone or even a restaurant menu without squinting. i was frustrated thinking that it was just a limitation of my eye issues.. so, i would wear my prescription glasses all the time to compensate , and i hated it! i then tried the refresh and systane eye drops for a week or so, and i could not believe the improvement! it was night and day.. i now hardly ever wear my prescription glasses or squint. it has made all the difference in my vision..

I have one severe dry eye - caused through traffic accident. Allergan Celluvisc is the one that works best for me. Been using it for 30 years. In summer, when it's hot and dry, I need to use more.

Very informative, going to try some of the products and see which is best. I have severe dry eyes in the mornings, because of hard lens usage.

I bought Systane Ultra PF. I think it is good for my dryness. Thank you for your recommendations.

The best one I now use after using Refresh Complete for some time until preservatives started to burn my eyes, is preservative free Refresh Optive Mega-3.

Dr Tai ,Thank you so much for your videos ! I am using REFRESH OPTIVE MEGA-3 with flaxseed oil for my dry eyes. Just enough for low blur Hoping you can do a review on this one.

Thank you so much for this video.

Great information. I would like to get information on migraines of the eyes? My first experience I went to an eye doctor and basically he said if you don't have any pain then don't worry. Thanks

I recently had an eye exam and the Dr. said my eyes were healthy but extremely dry! I told her I use Similasan eye drops. She said for me not to use thIs because there are ingredients that are not good for my eyes. She gave me a sample of Blink geltears. My daughter suggested the Refresh, which you have recommended. We live in a dry climate which doesn’t help plus I had Lasik surgery years ago. I listened to your video and trying to figure out which one is best to use. You didn’t mention Blink, so I may not be using that. I try to go the homeopathic route but the drops I was using were not working! Thank you for your input!

Thank you very much for the invaluable information. I do annual eye check up at the Singapore National Eye Centre and my doctor never bother to ask me about dry eye symptom and provide advise for a suitable eye drop.

I ordered the GenTeal gel to give it a try. My eyes get dry at night after using the Bimatoprost drops prescribed by my eye doc. I don’t use artificial tears very often but when you need them, you need them! Thank you for the very helpful video!

I have found Genteal gel tears very good, but Systane also has a nighttime gel that seems better yet, slightly more substantial or thicker. Gel drops are so much better than liquids or ointments.

For me I think Refresh Optive Advanced works a bit better than Refresh Digital. They have the same EXACT ingredients. Digital has the nano Tech thing, which appears to be the only difference. Both work for me, but Refresh Optive Advanced seems to last longer in my eyes requiring fewer doses a day. I usually use drops 4 times a day.

The problem I have with Refresh Relieva PF in the multi-use bottle, is that you can't tell if the product has changed color. The bottle appears to be white opaque. My current go to drop is Systane Hydration PF.

Wonderful doctor. I have dry eyes. Using refresh tears, eco tears and refresh liquigel.

In trying back contacts in on day 3. I tried Blink and that appears to sting my eyes. I just picked up the Refresh Digital PF. So we shall see. This far today, i did put the Refresh Relieva drop on my contact before putting it in my eyes and it's been 6 hrs and i have not needed any drops. Also I'm making sure I'm blinking since i work at a computer. Also, i didn't take my Allegra which i thought might be contributing to my dryness... we shall see....

Itching burning and scratchy eyes are daily but by far the dryness is the worst waking up 3 times a night with what feels like sand in my eyes.

Thank you for the question. Although I can’t give you individual medical advice on this platform, in general many people use OTC artificial tears long term without serious adverse effects. I do recommend that people who have dry eyes and need to use artificial tear eye drops long term have regular eye exams for monitoring.

At the Princess Margaret Cancer Center, we would prepare Albumin Eyedrops for our cancer patients who suffers from meibomianitis, KCS and DED after receiving certain types of chemo. I was involved in the Albumin eye drops research ten years ago. The results were quite promising that we decided to prepare them in-house in our inpatient pharmacy.

My optometrist didn’t tell me if I have mild, moderate if severe. He just said I have really dry eyes and prescribed Cequa0.09% op soln. I wanted to try otc first because I’m afraid of side effects of the cequa.

I have sjogren's syndrome and have tried many eye drops over the years, including some autologous ones made by the blood bank here in Australia. Unfortunately the autologous ones had a very high saline content and I could not use them on a regular basis. Liquids seem to actually dry the eye in most cases, although I have tried Hyloforte recently and they don't seem to dry. I always return to Visco-tears gel by Novartis (U.K.?). Usually in the 30 pack. The tube has some preservative. The carbomer seems to work fairly well to retain moisture and they are soothing. They are also cheaper than some if I buy online in bulk.

I have had severe dry eyes for the majority of my adult life. I have personally tested at least 30 of the top brands of eye drops from both the USA, Europe, and Japan, and there is only ONE brand that I believe is "the best," which is *Systane Ultra.* After using every kind available, I have found that only the non-preserved ones are good for long-term use, and all of the "secret ingredient" varieties are nothing more than regular drops with additional chemicals, or simply adding greasy substances like mineral oil. I have also tried every steroid, antibiotic, drug, and "cure" for dry eyes on earth, including using my own blood plasma, but nothing works better than Sustane Ultra. Take it from someone who uses them every 10-minutes, 24/7, for the past 20-years.

I have moderate to severe dry eyes which have worsened as I've aged. I've tried just about every lubricating drop out there: Refresh, Genteal, Biotrue, Optase.....and that's just in the last couple of years. The list goes on and on. They are all helpful...until they arent. Usually what happens is after a while they all causing severe itching (not just after application, but as the day or night wears on). It's mostly in the medial corners of my eyes. And the gel ones not only ooze out onto my cheeks while I sleep, but glue my eyelids shut. They are soothing for a while though. My opthalmologist recommended Systane Zaditor for the itching. However, it doesn't help much AND it contains BAK preservative which makes me uncomfortable due to its controversial toxicity. Any recommendations?

How many times a day should I use Systane complete?
