Eye drops for dry eyes

[scottp]

Looking for recommendations for eye drops. I am experiencing a bit of dry eyes lately.
I do wear glasses, no contacts.
Yes I'm over 50. Looks like there are a lot of products out there.
What I found so far are drops with and without preservatives.

Any recommendations?

Hoping to find a safe reliable product.
Thanks!

After Lasik surgery, my doctor said to use preservative free drops and recommended these:

Amazon product ASIN B073V3N3PM
They work great and the little vials are convenient to keep in your pocket. The little top you twist off to open them can snap back on. Each vial is good for several uses if you keep them closed that way.

I use Genteal.
There’s a nighttime jellyish tube and a regular drops product for daytime.

Yep, these. Use them during the winter when contacts get dry.

And seems basic, but drink water. Hydrate. I’ve used Blink as well.

I totally agree, I do keep very well hydrated and appreciate your input.

Apply directly to dry eyes. Guaranteed to help promote the production of the body's natural tears.

I'm pretty sure this is what I was going to recommend.

I like just pure saline in individual packages.

Blink is good. Systane drops are better (recommended by my eye doc). Got them from Amazon.

Hi Scott

I use Thera Tears all the time for dry eyes my eye doctor told me to use it and I always have some of it on hand.

Soothe XP made by Baush + Lomb is a good one also it has a bit of mineral oil in it. Your eyes will be a bit blurry for a few seconds but it lasts along time I will use it first thing in the morning really like it.

My wife used to work for an eye doctor and he recommended both of these eye drops And I have been using them both for a pretty good while.

FDA warns consumers not to purchase or use certain eye drops from several major brands due to risk of eye infection.

I use Clear Eyes. I’d stay away from store branded eye drops. All of the drops on the FDA list are the store brands.

I get dry eyes from time to time and I use Systane Ultra. I've tried a number and this one is my fav. eye doc also recommended them to me

Dexterity Health Liquid MSM drops have worked great for me. Get em on Amazon.

Be careful! But none of the ones mentioned here in this thread appear to be on the recall list:
