I've had extremely dry eyes for almost 40 years. First wore contacts and had eye drops tucked away everywhere. My car, purse, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and in my shirt pockets. Then I had LASIK twice and it got worse.I tried every kind there is. Eye drops are not inexpensive, so when my budget was tight, sometimes I just had miserably sore eyes.I've never heard of these drops, but since I am forever looking for that perfect drop, I can put in a few times a day and not give it any more thought, I decided to buy a box. Along with the other $150 in drops I purchased in the same order.These are hands down the best drops I've ever used. The white cloudy liquid was normal, but a bit odd. These are on the high end price wise (that said, they are a whole lot cheaper than the drops, gel drops, gel, and ointment in my regular order) and worth every penny and moreI'm sensitive to preservatives in most drops. I didn't think to check these beforehand, but I am happy to say I've had no issues with that.My only wish is that they come in multi packs.These are more a drop than a gel drop, so no buildup in my lashes. The cloudy color is normal per the manufacturer.They have a customer for life if they leave this product exactly as it is.I am not affiliated with this company. I didn't receive any discount or free items for this review. I'm just lucky I found these, and since I count on reviews when I buy things, I try to leave honest feedback when I have the time.

I have been having dry eye issues for years and recently was at the point where I was seriously contemplating giving up my contacts and just wearing glasses. Now...for some people this might be a minor adjustment....not for me. I am seriously near sighted and I have worn contacts for close to 40 years so it was going to be a huge adjustment. I was told that my tear film has a 2 second evaporation rate...normal is over 5 seconds. I considered plugs.....tried Xiidra (horrible stuff...felt like I had a curtain of chemicals going down the back of my throat for 24 hours..and yes...I did the pressing your fingers in the corners of your eye for a while to stop it from draining...didn't work) and my medicine cabinet is littered with bottles of eye drops that I tried and didn't like. I couldn't understand why it seemed like I was the only one in the world who wasn't able to find eye drops that worked...they all left my eyes feeling "gungky" I know that isn't a technical term but that is the only way I can describe it. I was very frustrated and pretty much had lost hope of being able to be comfortable with my eyes ever again. My eye doctor had recommended Systane Complete....gungky....and then towards the end of my visit he offhandedly gave me some samples of Retaine MGD and said he used them and really liked them. OMG!!! All I can say is this stuff is like liquid silk. I use it morning and night and for the whole day I do NOT NOTICE MY CONTACTS!! I feel that anyone with dry eyes can relate to the noticing your eyes/contacts. I was constantly rubbing my eyes...blinking...taking them out to clean them because they would get foggy etc. I am so happy that I found this product. Read more

Best eye drops on the market. About a year and a half ago, my dry eyes changed and all the previous drops I'd been using no longer offered any relief. Systaine and Genteal suddenly felt about as soothing as plain water. So I went to Walgreen's and spent about $100 buying pretty much every active ingredient combination of eye drops available. Tried them all. Well, honestly, about half of them ... because that's when I tried these. And they're amazing. Soothing. Relatively long lasting. And that giant veiny red spot I get in my left eye when it's dry and unhappy went away. It's a good thing I'm not Oprah, because my list of Favorite Things would include these drops and I'm fairly certain most people don't have dry eyes. I've had Sjögren's Syndrome for over 20 years, using eye drops for probably 15, and I've never been as excited about a drop as I am about these. Read more

A few years ago I got lasik surgery on my eyes. My doctor warned me about dry eyes, and I do live in the desert, so when I went back to him with vision issues, he tested dryness, along with all the other standard eye tests. I thought I needed glasses becase I couldn't see the boards at school, or read road signs at night, but he found that my prescription was only slight (even though I am in my 40s) and that all I needed to do was to apply eye drops 4 times a day. These are the drops my doctor recommended because they are slightly oily so they stay on the eye longer than regular drops, plus there are no preservatives. I tried these drops and another type that I bought at Costco (cheaper, you know). After a month, I decided that even though these drops can sting a little sometimes (and are more expensive), its worth it because they do stay on my eyes and improve my vision better than the other brand. (Three stars because of the price and the stinging issue. The stinging does go away within a few minutes, and it is not unbearable). Read more
