Biotrue Hydration Boost, Preservative-Free Eye Drops for Dry Eyes, Instantly Moisturizes, Rehydrates, Contact Lens Friendly, Refresh & Relieve Eye Irritation, 0.33 FL Oz (Pack of 2)

I have had dry, scratchy, burning eyes for 40 years. Hypo-Tears worked for many years until it was discontinued. Then I began the search for a replacement, which was not at all easy. It was an expensive ordeal to buy so many different eyedrops, only to find they did not work, or even made the dryness and scratchiness WORSE. I tried Rx brands Restasis, Xiidra, Miebo. None helped. In fact, the Restasis seemed to make me feel unwell in general. Did not expect a whole-body feeling of unwellness from an eye drop. I get angry when I see eye "ointments" marketed for dry eyes. They are just petrolatum (vaseline). You can't even SEE once you've smeared petrolatum into your eye. It's greasy and gross. It's going to stain your pillowcase, and doesn't provide any relief whatsoever. Ointments are junk. Unless you put it into your pet's eyes before bathing to protect their eyes from shampoo. I need eyedrops before I go to sleep, in fact my eyes are so dry that if not adequately lubricated at bedtime, they will WAKE ME UP in the middle of the night from the scratchy discomfort of REM while I'm trying to sleep. I have eye drops in every room of the house, in all handbags, at work, and never leave home without them. I tried a new ophthalmologist 2 years ago. He had some interesting advice. He said to try to avoid eyedrops with preservatives, saying that they can build up in your system, potentially causing additional problems. This I took seriously. And then I tried all the preservative-free brands. Most provided no relief. This Biotrue Hydration Boost (green box) is the best solution I have found. I seem to need it less often, which must mean it's more effective. I have pretty much abandoned my dozens of other brands in favor of this one. So it's a big deal to finally receive some relief, and to know that it's preservative-free. I highly recommend. I'm happy to find it on Amazon for a reasonable price, I buy the 2-pack. However, I HATE the bottle. The cap is not user-friendly, and neither is the bottle. Some bottles had to be squeezed SO hard to dispense a drop that they made my fingers ache. After struggling for too long, I found a slender needle, disinfected it, and poked it into the tip, which worked to allow the drops to flow more freely. I would also prefer a flatter-shaped bottle, so that it would better fit into your pocket. I hope the manufacturer sees this. Please improve the bottle!

I purchased this for occasional dry and uncomfortable eyes, and it has worked very well. Whenever my eyes feel stiff, irritated, or overly dry, using this provides fast and noticeable relief. The moisturizing effect feels immediate, and my eyes feel much more comfortable shortly after use. I also appreciate that it is preservative-free, which makes it feel gentler and more suitable for repeated use when needed. That was an important reason I chose it. The drops feel clean and refreshing rather than heavy or overly medicated. It gives hydration without leaving an unpleasant residue or blurry feeling for long. This has become one of those items I like to keep nearby at home or during workdays when screen time causes eye fatigue. Overall, this has been highly effective whenever my eyes feel dry or strained. I would definitely buy it again. Five stars.

Works great!! It's just I find that the bottle being as squishy as it is makes it difficult to control how many drops goes into my eyes, thus wasting quite a bit of it. Maybe there's a learning curve, because this is the first kind of this drop I've used, but not the first of any drops, and this is hard to control. It's like no drops or several all at once. I've gone through half a bottle and I don't feel like I should've in the time I've been using this. As far as how well it works, it works! This is the first kind I've tried, but my eyes feel better and it even whitens the whites of my eyes. I didn't know they were always more red than they should've been because they were dry, so I used the expensive Lumify. This works close to as well as Lumify but I'm not sure if it works for as long - I'll have to pay attention. I hope so because I won't need Lumify anymore for $20+ and can just use my own already-needed medication for white eyes. 5 stars for how well it works (as far as I can tell with it being the first I've tried), and 3 stars (if that) for how well the bottle controls the drops, so I give it 4 stars.

These things are great. I love the hydration boost contact solution they have. I unfortunately stopped wearing contacts for a year and only had generic contact solution in the house. I was dreading wearing my contacts every day because they would be so dry after a few hours. Usual eye drops that say they can be used with contacts often do not make a difference but these things really do work! They work so good. I keep some on me everywhere. I gave some the other day to someone at work who wears glasses that was complaining of dry eyes and they loved them as well. The size is the perfect amount of solution to apply multiple times, even after you blink and some needs to be patted away with a tissue, you still have more left over. There is no noticable difference in texture, other than it helps your eyes feel instant relief. It does not make your eyes feel grainy or oily. I will be buying these over and over again.

Getting older, wearing contacts (AGAIN), and needed some moisture even though I don’t have “dry eyes”. I had lasick 20 years ago and it worked until it didn’t. No cataracts, just “sticky lenses”. But, for some reason, lasick makes your eyes dryer. Tried the thicker - and more expensive - formulas but they didn’t do the job as well as Biotrue. I need it in the evening and it delivers relief every time. There’s no scent and no cooling (you don’t want menthol in your eyes!). The texture is more slippery than saline but not so thick you can’t see for the first minute.

Excellent eye drops. Really hydrate eyes but the bottle design is lacking. The sides of the bottle will compress and no longer reinflate about half way through using the drops and it makes it very hard to squeeze more drops into your eyes after that happens. I put up with it because the drops are doing so well for me but it is an aggravation.

There is nothing wrong with the eye drop solution itself which feels just fine. Getting a drop to dispense out of the container requires forced sustained indentation of the container to half its normal diameter such that it feels the bottle itself might just break completely open---all that effort for one mere drop. I will not purchase this product again simply because it is way too difficult to dispense.

I have periods of time where my eyes become extremely dry, sensitive, and painful. When I’ve tried other reputable or “gentle” brands for my concerns, I get a painful stinging/burning sensation (even sometimes w/ water). These eye drops are my holy grail. I can even use them when I have a scratched eye without any sense of pain. I keep them in purse for on the go relief, and of the two bottles I’ve had, they have never leaked. The price point could be better, but I have no other options at this point in time.
