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.

Product description

Dry eyes are a common discomfort - reading, stress, contact lens wear, and staring at the screen all day can dry out your eyes. We all want our eyes to feel better, but many dry eye sufferers are concerned about the chemicals found in eye drops. Traditional over-the-counter drops use chemicals to mask symptoms. Similasan of Switzerland works differently, by using natural botanical extracts to stimulate the body's natural defenses and target the root cause. Similasan products are made without harsh chemicals, so you can use them as often as needed. Can be used with contact lenses. Drops will not damage lenses but performance might be better when applied without lenses. If you have redness, itchiness or irritation, it is best to avoid lenses for a while. Trusted by pharmacists and families in Switzerland for 40 years, Similasan is a leading Swiss brand of remedies that use natural active ingredients instead of harsh chemicals to keep families healthy. Our state of the art facility located near the Swiss Alps makes over 190 popular remedies for children and adults. Claims based on traditional homeopathic practice, not accepted medical evidence. Not FDA evaluated.

• Similasan Dry Eye Relief drops provide temporary relief from dry eye symptoms like dryness, redness, burning, stinging, irritation and watering. Use as often as needed with no known side effects.
• Similasan Dry Eye Relief eye drops stimulate the body's natural defenses instead of masking dryness symptoms like dry eyes, red eyes, burning eyes, stinging eyes, irritated eyes and watering eyes.
• Similasan homeopathic eye drops are made with natural active ingredients like eyebright, not harsh chemicals. Similasan eye drops do not contain vasoconstrictors: chemicals that cause rebound effect.
• For over 40 years, Similasan has been used by pharmacists and families in Switzerland. Similasan is a leading brand of homeopathic remedies with natural active ingredients to keep families healthy.
• Similasan is a Swiss brand dedicated to helping families feel good about feeling better. Our gentle eye drops provide natural temporary relief from dry eye symptoms.

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:	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.
