OPTASE Dry Eye Spray

At first I thought how can eye drops work with eyes closed. But it really does. Seems to work best and I’ve tried them all. It’s challenging to get it working properly but once you do I really like product. Will keep buying.

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.

I love this spray. My Doctor recommended and I am so happy thay I can buy it on Amazon when mine ran out from my doctor

This is the brand I always use, but not a fan of the spray. Much prefer the drops.

As ordered. Has greatly helped my dry eyes I love that it is not drops

Just when I started to get the hang of aiming it to my eye and not missing, it stopped working.

Optase spray is so comfortable and easy to use. Just apply to clean, closed eyes and relax for the prescribed amount of time. Be sure to read the instructions. You do not apply spray in your eyes as you would drops. Easy and effective.

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.

Fantastic product. I buy multiple when I purchase because I do use 3- 4 times a day. The pointy snout is useful in the night, if I have to use without putting the light on, you know where to point the spray.

Would have been been if the pump worked properly! It didn't spray out smoothly.Therefire not as helpful. It did help eye relief. Would have been ok if it worked Helped stickiness. Nite value for money as it didn't work

I bought this because I get tired irritated eyes watching TV. Works really well refreshing my tired eyes.

Recommended by my Optician at a recent eye test. They arrived quickly and are easy to use - making sure I spray my eyelid, instead of my nose or cheek, is a different matter 😉

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.
