Doctor recommended. No–really. Heckin great results.
OK let's say that being just over 50, now it's time to have some life changes and this apparently is one of them. I thought I was losing my sight, or developing cataracts (or worse), with some semi-blurred vision at night, or the allergies I've had since forever....I thought that basic ageing and inevitability were the culprit for my eyes feeling like they did. As it turns out, the doc said that it's dry eye, and instead of recommending the other products I told him about (I'd been using Refresh lately), recommended to me in the past, he quite confidently assured me that this one would be the thing that fixed my dilemmas. Yeah, right, I thought. I was a little suspect, as I expect them to favor companies who've made it worth their while. But, I couldn't find the product for a few weeks after my appointment. Maybe he wasn't just favoring a brand? I didn't realize that this was such a hot commodity! I bought the tiny vials first, as they were the only ones I could find initially. That's the same formula, but you can bring them with you and I keep some in my coin pocket in my wallet. It's a costlier way to use this daily, but I think I've gotten multiple doses out of every vial, so it works out to be about the same as this one bottle's worth, for the money. If you didn't have dry eye, or like you only get tired eyes from soooo many hours online, that you'd likely find this formula too thick. It's a really lubricating solution. Occasionally, if I'm not being faithful with the dosage, I've gotta wait a few minutes to have my vision clear. The formula can feel goopy or oily in your eyeballs. Maybe your eyes get too dry and need to get used to accommodating moisture again? But if you use it faithfully up to 3x a day, or whatever your doctor recommends, the drops are very effective. I would say going from not using any kind of regular dosage of any kind of drops to daily use? It's a drag, but yes! It was a huge fricking difference at night, especially. There are a lot of pollutants and irritants here, and I was so happy to find that my eyes didn't hurt after the first week, and my vision wasn't blurred anymore. Yes, my actual eyeballs hurt. And I'd say it was kind of achy in the back of my eyes and into the crease of my upper eyelid. Weird, but this eye drop formula stopped that discomfort after the first 8 days, I think? Well, I mean it didn't give me nearsightedness back, but I could read the movie summaries without having to stand in front of the TV. It's helped me in the car, too, even though I avoid night time driving as much as I can. Maybe I sound stupid for being surprised that a little drop of eye product could benefit me to this extent? But, I have to say that I made sure to have a supply on hand, and when I ran out, my eyes gradually went back to feeling like I'd been on horseback for a few days, in the dusty old West. And yeah, the blurred-night-vision came back. I think it's like going from thinking you're developing cataracts to suddenly taking your annoying issues right out of the picture. My only negative is finding this particular version of drops can be difficult. I couldn't find it in any drugstores or supermarkets or even at walmart locally, and Amazon sells out pretty often. Plan ahead if you think you'll need this on hand all the time. Buy it wherever you find it. It's pretty uncomfortable when you run out and your eyeballs feel like dust again. Oh--for right now, (March 2021), they've got mfr. coupons inside the boxes. IF you can find this locally...you can actually use the coupons there
