User questions & answers

Question:	What is the expiration Date
Answer:	Mineral Oil = 42.5 and White Petroleum Jelly = 56.8%
Question:	Can these be used with contact lenses
Answer:	There is one Tube of Ointment that is 0.12 oz (3.5 g) in size
Question:	Does it have preservatives
Answer:	This is more of an ointment. I did find it somewhat difficult to apply. One must pull the lower eyelid down and squeeze a tiny bit out of the tube and run it along the inside of one's wet eyelid. Sometimes it stays and sometimes it doesn't go on. Also without eyeglasses it can prove to be hard to see to apply the ointment. However, if everything has gone according to plan it does stay through the night. In the morning, if one has dry eyes, the ointment allows one to open one's eyelids without the lid scraping over a dry eye. My alternative to the ointment is to just carry a bottle of Refresh tears in my tee shirt pocket, apply a drop onto each eyelid, open my eyelid slowly and allow the Tears to lubricate the eye. One must always remember do not open the eyelid before applying Tears.
Question:	Do the caps fit back on so it can be resealed after using
Answer:	The Velvet feels more silky than Millenium, Millenium is more watery & not so luxurious, velvet is longer lasting too.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this product preservative free
Answer:	No, this product contains benzalkonium Chloride (BAK) which is a common preservative in eye drops. Preservative free products generally come in disposable single use vials.
Question:	I love these drops so I ordered the larger size and the bottle is the exact same size as the small one. Why
Answer:	The size of the bottle doesn't change. Only the amount of eye drops in the bottle differs. The 0.08 fluid ounce and the 0.25 fluid ounce come in the same size bottle. The 0.25 fluid ounce is equal to 7.5mL (millileters).
Question:	Can Lumify and Systane be used together
Answer:	YES. The instructions say to wait 5 minutes between use of other drops and 10 before putting contacts in. I use them both, in the morning Lumify first, wait 5 mins then Systane and wait 5 more before putting contacts in. No issues at all.
Question:	Can I hide a purchase
Answer:	You can archive items in your orders list so they aren't so easily seen by others.

The kind of eye drops you're reaching for makes a difference. Not all eye drops are specifically designed to lubricate. Some drops are specifically designed to help relieve allergies. Others remove redness from your eyes. Over-the-counter artificial tears are designed to provide temporary relief to the symptoms associated with Dry Eye. To temporarily relieve burning, irritation and discomfort due to Dry Eye, reach for artificial tears, like REFRESH — the #1 Doctor Recommended Brand of Artificial Tears.* REFRESH TEARS Lubricant Eye Drops instantly moisturizes and relieves dry, irritated eyes with a fast-acting, long-lasting formula that has many of the same healthy qualities as your own natural tears.

Insufficient tears can lead to: Irritated, painful eyes Increased risk of eye infection Negative effects on vision Damage to the eye surface An estimated 25 million Americans suffer from Dry Eye symptoms. In fact, Dry Eye symptoms are commonly reported among people visiting their eye doctor. 2

User questions & answers

Question:	Can it relieve visual fatigue after studying on computer
Answer:	Staring at a computer often means we don't blink enough. This can lead to eye fatigue and irritation, so I would say, "Yes." I, too, use the drops for this reason.
Question:	shelf life for thera tears
Answer:	I ordered my bottle of Thera Tears on 1/31/14. The expiration date on the bottle is 11/2015. So it looks like the shelf life is close to 2 years.
Question:	Can I use this while wearing contact lenses
Answer:	Hi Yi W., that’s a great question! We recommend trying our “TheraTears® Contact Lens Comfort Drops”, which are FDA approved for use with daily wear and extended wear soft and rigid gas permeable contact lenses.
Question:	Looks like they changed the formula when they recently changed the packaging...Is this still preservative free? I can't find where it says that on box
Answer:	This whole "preservative free" business is very strange. I have been purchasing the "old" packaging for several years now and purchased it specifically because it was PRESERVATIVE FREE as recommended by my Ophthalmologist. Now the new packaging doesn't say Preservative Free on he front of the package but if you take time to look all over the outer box it says that it is PRESERVATIVE FREE IN THE EYE. What does THAT mean. So I called the number on the package and was told by the person who answered the phone that it is the same formula but it can't be preservative free in the bottle because you are always taking the lid on and off the bottle. So it is preservative free as it hits the eye. Figure that out. I can't. The "old" bottle which is what they say is the same formula doesn't say anything about not being preservative free as it hits the eye. So I went to the website where it says, "NOW you can get preservative free in a bottle." WHAT? I thought it was the same formula. Was it not preservative free before, but just said so on the package? What they are claiming now is that the only TRUE Preservative Free eye drops are in the individual vials which of course you can purchase. I used to buy those before they changed the vials so that now you cannot put the top back on if you don't use the entire amount. I don't know what everyone else thinks, but this whole thing sounds very "fishy" to me. I haven't opened the new box I just received from Amazon and don't think I will do that until I get an answer from my Ophthalmologist to see if she can shed any light on this situation.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would you recommend this for eyes that are dry and tired after computer strain
Answer:	Yes, very much so. They were recommended to me by one of my eye doctors for MY dry eyes. Most of the over the counter eye drops contain alcohol, or some other drying agent that initially feels good, but after a little while your eyes become as dry or dryer than they were before using them. These Systane drops do not contain any of these drying agents---alcohol or other. It is also better to use these more often than not, as dryness can & will create minute scratches on the eye-- again--as told to me by my eye doctor.
Question:	Is this preservative free
Answer:	A Systane bottle containing MORE than one dose in it has "POLYQUAD (polyquaternium-1) 0.001%" as a preservative. (With any medication, all multi-dose eye drop bottles contain preservatives.) The single use Sustame vials are preservative free. However, even though I usually have a sensitivity to eye drop preservatives, I can use the multi-dose bottle of Systane drops without any trouble. I did an experiment where I used drops from a Systane multi-dose bottle in one eye and drops from a Systane single dose vial in the other eye. After 2 weeks, there was no difference in my eyes!
Question:	What is the difference between this and the regular one, what does ultra do extra
Answer:	The Ultra has a higher viscosity ("thicker"). I find it much more soothing, and don't have to apply it as often. There's also an Ultra gel drop that is even "thicker" and really great when the air is really dry, or indoor heat or air is blowing. Nice to have options to choose from! Btw, my ophthalmologist recommended Systane Ultra, and my eyes feel much better.
Question:	Do you get 2 10-ml bottles with a Pack of 1 ? The listing is confusing
Answer:	Yes, this is a twin pack, so you get 2 bottles of 10 ml each. All the information is on the picture of the cover of the box.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the ingriedience
Answer:	I have never used rhoto's 12 hour relief. My eye doctor asked I use Soothe XP and it works for me.
Question:	how do I set this order up for auromatice re-order
Answer:	Lists polyquaternium-1 (preservative) on the side of the box. The picture of the box side is on Amazon.
Question:	What are the ingriedience
Answer:	The "thin hair like layer" they refer to is the lipid covering produced the meibomian glands at the rim of the eyelids. In severe dry eye, these glands don't produce enough of these lipids to prevent rapid evaporation of the tears. These eye drops replicate this "layer" by including a similar lipid in the formulation. So, there isn't a "replacement" in the sense that it removes and replaces something but rather a duplication of the body's normal lipid production for people who don't produce enough.
Question:	Are the boxes wrapped in plastic
Answer:	It is the oinment brand. I've had problems with my eyes being so dry that my cornea(s) are a little scratched,just got back from my eye doctor and was told that he has seen a big improvement in my eyes. This product has made a big difference in my eye sight. I would recommend it, of course always check with you eye doctor first and see what he recommends.
