Refresh Tears, Lubricant Eye Drops, 2 Bottles

If you deal with dry eyes—whether from long screen hours, seasonal allergies, or just life—Refresh Tears has probably already come up in conversation. I’ve cycled through a handful of eye drops over the years, but I keep coming back to these because they strike the right balance between effective hydration and comfort without any weird side effects. My Experience I spend a good chunk of my day staring at screens, and I also wear contacts occasionally. That combination dries my eyes out fast—burning, sandy sensation, redness. One drop of Refresh Tears in each eye and within 30 seconds it feels like I just rinsed everything clean. It’s not a heavy, oily formula (some “gel-like” drops leave my vision cloudy), so I can put these in and immediately go back to working or driving. The relief isn’t fleeting either—usually lasts me a few hours before I need another dose. Texture & Comfort These drops feel very natural. No stinging on application, no stickiness around the corners of my eyes. I’ve tried “intense” formulas that burn for 10 seconds before calming things down—these don’t do that. They’re light, soothing, and easy to tolerate, even if you’re sensitive. Use Tips & Tricks • If you refrigerate the bottle, the drops go in cool, which gives an instant refreshing effect (especially helpful during allergy season). • For contact lens wearers: I personally use these before putting my lenses in, and again after taking them out at night. That prevents the end-of-day scratchiness. • I keep one bottle at my desk and one in my bag. Since they’re small, they travel well, and TSA doesn’t hassle you since they’re under the liquid limit. Pros: • Instant soothing relief without burning or blurring • Works well for screen fatigue, allergies, and general dryness • Small, portable bottles—perfect for travel • Non-greasy formula that feels natural • Consistent quality and effectiveness Cons: • Not preservative-free, so if you’re extremely sensitive, you might want to opt for their preservative-free version • Bottle design can be tricky to squeeze when it’s near empty Verdict Refresh Tears is one of those products I don’t even think twice about buying again. It’s dependable, affordable, and just works without the fuss. If you need quick, clean relief for dry or irritated eyes that doesn’t derail your vision or feel like you’re putting chemicals in your eyes, this is a solid go-to.
