Best Eye Drops?

[Johnnyt]

I notice a lot of players carry eye drops in their case. Anyone know some of the better brands? Thank you. Johnnyt

I use Similasan. This was recommended to me several years ago by an optician. There are probably others that are equal or even better, but I have been using this one for a while and its fantastic.

I myself use visine , but not very often tho only when we have to go to this one bar to play for APA , I kid you not there is a layer of smoke almost like fog in this bar and it's unbearable so I'm always usig eye drops .

You should avoid visine or anything that "gets the red out". They do so by causing the blood vessels in your eyes to contract, which gets the red out, but also dries out your eyes in the process. I use a brand called refresh which was also Dr. recommended.

I was a Visine user when ever I had to work a 12-8-4 double and my eyeballs were burning up. After reading what sokaiba wrote, I'll also be reviewing the material in that link!

My favorite is Systane, though if you have chronic dry eye ask your eye doctor to perscribe Restasis, you use it twice daily. My eye doctor gave it to me after I had Lasik. I use it in conjunction with Systane Preservative Free Eye Drops

After years of using Visine, I was told not to, it wasn't good for your eyes. My wife's ophthalmologist said to use Artificial Tear Eye Drops. I usually get Wallgreens or CVS brand and I have been using them ever since.

You definitely don't want to use products like Visine on a regular basis. They temporarily get the red out but over time, they'll make the redness much worse.

Instead, use products like "Refresh" or artificial tear drops. Target and WalMart sell generic equivalents for about 1/2 off the name brand product. Check the ingredients on the name brand product and buy the generic instead.
