SystaneNighttime Lubricant Eye Ointment 3.5g Tube

Buy this, it works!I was having major issues with one of my eyes, extreme pain, sensitive to light, red, itchy & irritated every couple weeks. First eye doc visit, we just assumed I scratched my cornea. By the 3rd visit was told recurrent corneal erosion. Saw someone else for the 4 day follow up & she said use eye drops as soon as you wake up, before you open your eyes...first I was like yeah right, I need to see to find the drops, if I even remember...then I felt it happen, my eyelid stuck to my eyeball overnight & ripped off part of my cornea when I first opened my eyes...yikes! But guess who never forgot again and kept her eyes closed until I felt around and found the eye drops lol. That helped but I realized my eyes were really dry & getting worse...thanks autoimmune. I'm going threw eyedrops like crazy, needing to use them like every hour because my eyes are dry & hurt. I figured there's got to be something that can help that's not full of steroids or needs a Rx. I prefer this brand of drops and after an Amazon search landed on this. I love it just has 3 ingredients, I don't love it's mostly petroleum, but felt better knowing that it's white petroleum which is highly refined to remove (hopefully) all toxins. Either way this stuff works well & I've had no issues. It's a tiny little tube but you only need a little, so it will last a long time & was inexpensive vs drops. My only complaint is when this type of tube, when it's accidentally/unknowingly squeezed when closed, it just comes gushing out when you take off the top. It seems to be better now that it's not so full. I use every night before bed & my eyes still feel lubricated when I wake. My eyes have improved significantly to the point I'm only using drops a few times a day! Yay!

Exactly what I needed. My eyes are constantly dry and itchy, and my eye doctor had suggested this at night when I went to bed to help ease some of the irritation when I woke up. The stuff is perfect. Be warned however it will make your vision quite blurry so this is something you need to put in your eyes right as you're going to sleep. (I made a mistake on the first night and realize that reading a book was not going to be possible)Additionally this works fantastic on long overnight flights when they air on the plane is dry

I experienced a sudden extreme bought of dry eye months after starting a job that requires me to get in and out of many many cars after driving them for only a few minutes at a time. My eye problems started at the end of the summer where I had grown into the habit of, after getting into hot car after hot car, I would crank up the air conditioner sky high and the fan speed up as high as possible, and point the fan straight at my upper body and face. Because I was only in each car for a few minutes, I had the air blasting at me nearly all day. Further, during this time we had a few weeks where it was constantly windy. This all led to my eyes becoming extremely painfully dry (which has never ever happened to me before), so much so that I had to wear laboratory goggles in my home and motorcycle glasses outside and at work. I had to shut my eyes when walking because I could feel the air hitting my eyeballs like paper cuts. It was excruciatingly painful. I got gel eyedrops but those never lasted more than a few minutes at a time and still did not help as much as I needed. Then I bought this at my local pharmacy and, even though this is a night time eye product, I had no other option than to use this during the day and at night. After doing that for several weeks my eyes began to heal. Even now I use this whenever I feel that my eyes have been or may be exposed to prolonged wind or fans, and today my eyes seem to have recovered. I’m very thankful for this product and will never go without it again. I try to carry it around with me wherever I go.This product has the consistency of Vaseline basically, so when you put it in you will have blurred vision. However, that was something I was willing to live with as the pain was unbearable and the relief this ointment provided was instant. The way I apply it is I lift up my upper eyelid, squeeze some ointment out underneath it, and do the same for the lower one, then I roll my eyes around both ways. I also put this in as many times a day as I need.Update: as of 12/18/24, the sides of the tube split open and began leaking out. I put electrical tape around it, so hopefully that will stop the leaking. I will still use and keep purchasing the product as it’s the only thing that helps me, but may handle it with more care so this doesn’t happen again.

With severe dry eyes I have used many eye lubricants. I truly find this to be a good quality ointment but just wish it was a little thicker so it didn’t drip out of the eye as much. It is best to use at night before bed because it does make my vision a little blurry for a half hour or so. However, it does a good job keeping the eye moist. It’s an easy to use twist cap relatively fair price. It lubricates the eyes and works but could be a little thicker. I recommend it for dry eyes.

Really helps with my dry eyes. Sometimes I’ll even use it during the day.It is a thicker gel style ointment, so it can make it a little difficult to see for a little while after application. I would keep that in mind and only use it during times when you are able to have your vision slightly impaired.It has a tube style applicator instead of a bottle because of the gel like consistency of the ointment. It can be a little difficult to get a small dose because the tube wants to push out a lot of ointment even with a small amount of pressure.It’s kind of expensive but worth it. I alternate with other drops to make them last longer.

Systane night time dry eye ointmentI love this stuff.I have used less expensive night time ointments, but this works a whole lot better. My eyes still feel a lot better when I wake up, which never happened with less expensive brands. I will definitely buy this again
