Systane Preservative Free Eye Drops

Does anyone use Systane Preservative Free Eye Drops?

 

The Ultra brand of this line is not available anymore at Walmart or Target.

 

Has anyone used the Systane Preservative Free that is not the Ultra label? It actually  has 4 more vials for the same price, but the ingredients are different.

 

These eye drop companies charge a lot of money and most of the time they don't work or they drip down your face and are wasted.

 

The Ultra version works well for me but now they are hard to find for some reason.

They're not hard to find if you look online.

 

the Ultra version you prefer is available online at Amazon, Ebay, Drugstore.com, Walmart.com, and Target.com, Walgreens, and CVS.

I used to use Systane, but my ophthamologist recommended Retaine.  I love them-even better than Systane.  One can purchase on Amazon or at Walgreens--select ones.

Re: Systane Preservative Free Eye Drops

Here's a tip.

 

Bend your head back or lie down.  Put the dropper in the inside corner of your eye and blink, blink, blink.  The drop will cover the entire eye with no dripping.  I have used Systane, Refresh, Blink, etc.  They are all the same.

 

I go to a Retina Specialist every 6 weeks for an injection in my eye for macular degeneration.  As I'm leaving, he hands me two boxes of sample drops, whichever is available.  When I run out of samples, I use Refresh Plus (70 individual doses).   I like those better because I really don't like using the same bottle for both eyes.

 

Again, if you throw your head back or lie down, you shouldn't have a problem.  It works for me....
