OPTASE Dry Eye Spray

found nothing better for dry eyes

I am extremely disappointed in Optase Dry Spray. The premise is that you spray this on your eyelids from 6-10 inches away. Then, you blink so it goes in your eyes. There are 2 major issues with that: 1) You are spraying with your eyes closed. The spray goes out with a wide mist. You end up spraying your forehead and cheeks more than anything else. About 20 wasteful sprays in, you finally hit your eyelids. And, it does drip down but not in your eyes!! It just drips down your face. 2) If you are lucky enough to get a drop or two of the solution in your eyes, it burns. It isn’t soothing and it does not help your dry eyes. I find that my eyes feel dryer using this spray. Then after using, I have crust that has formed on my eyes. I didn’t have crust to begin with. What is really upsetting is how expensive this is. I contacted Optase directly before purchasing this. I asked them specifically if the dry spray had the same ingredients as the Optase intense dry eye drops. I didn’t want to waste my money on this if it didn’t. They said and I quote, “The spray can be used in lieu of the drops” and implied that they had the same ingredients. See below and judge for yourselves if these ingredients are the same: Dry spray ingredients: Glycerin 1%, Citric Acid Monohydrate, Polyoxyethylenesorbitan Monooleate. Potassium Chloride, Purified Water, Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sorbitan Monooleate, Tromethamine Intense drop ingredients: Glycerin 0.2%, Hydrochloric acid, sodium hyaluronate, sorbitol, trometamol, water It looks to me like there are 10 ingredients in the dry spray and 6 ingredients in the intense dry eye drops. The glycerin content isn’t even the same! And, now I have wasted my money on this and do not have the money I need to buy the drops.

I do not like anything that has to do with touching, or putting anything near/on my eyeballs. This stuff is awesome because all I have to do is spray my eyelids and somehow it still helps with dry eye. Highly recommend.

After figuring out how to use the pump, it actually works great. Not a fan of the sprayer but overall a good product

Eye doctor recommended this product, works good

I like the product but the spray applicator is too stiff to give a gentle spray application. The particle velocity is too high and really hurts. If they could just lighten up with you can control the spray pressure/velocity it would be a game changer.

Works well.

I'm sorry to have to write a bad review. My optometrist recommended Optase many months ago. I bought one bottle from her and immediately ordered another bottle from Amazon after first using her bottle. My eyes felt wonderful. I used up both bottles and ordered another which was also good (albeit the bottle was flimsier than the other and difficult to squeeze). I received this current bottle August 27 and finished my other bottle last night. My eyes stung after using my new bottle which they hadn't using the other bottles. This morning my eyes are red. RED! They haven't lessened during the day. I never have red eyes no matter how dry or irritated they become. I wish I could return the bottle, but Amazon won't accept the return. Moreover, no other Optase other than this one is listed at Amazon. I'm very disappointed because the product had been stellar up until this current bottle. What's not to love about gentle, preservative-free eye drops? I don't know what I'll do now. Edit: I wanted to provide this edit for clarity. I did read the instructions carefully. I did use Optase with my lids shut and sprayed on the lid area only. I did not spray into my eyes; yet, unfortunately, my eyes became greatly irritated. I'm hoping Optase will return to their former product.

Un peu déçu je pensais que ça serait plus facile mais pour moi non

These do help with dry eye keep eyes closed spray about 10 inch away from your eyes

Bought this for my elderly mum to try. She struggled to use the spray mechanism and when she did manage, she often missed her eye. When someone did it for her, she said she found the Optase really good and felt it help alot. The bottle would have lasted longer if she didn't miss as often!

This spray really helps refresh my tired eyes. I use it whenever I’ve been concentrating on the screen for too long, and it brings quick relief. The only downside is that if you wear makeup, you need to hold the spray a bit farther away so it doesn’t disturb it.

This feels really refreshing once the fluid dries and lasts a lot longer than similar products once opened. The effect is quite long lasting. It is more expensive than other eye drop brands and you can use it throughout the day. Those are the good points. Now why they dropped 2 stars. You have to spray on closed eyelids. If it gets into your eyes it stings -a lot! Even if you manage to hit your closed eyelid (which isn’t as easy as it sounds from the recommended distance), when you open your eye some fluid drips into your eye so you have to NEED to use it rather than just want to. I happily use other items in this range but this particular product proved too painful to use when drops are more comforting.
