REFRESH P.M. Preservative-Free

GREAT! I was diagnosed by my optometrist with chronic dry eye syndrome and this really helps me feel like I have moisture in my eyes. This result is a HUGE deal for me because I hardly produce tears. Also, I am a nurse and those long 12 hr shifts and horrible fluorescent hospital lights just really dried my eyes out! I constantly had eye strain and I used to wake up with extremely red eyes and grittiness in the morning. Well this overnight ointment solved all of that & more. Immediately my eyes were whiter and felt moisturized and even had lasting effects for the rest of the day. Before, I would be constantly putting artificial tears >4 x daily and Lumify to decrease the redness that would come back from the dryness throughout the day. I’ve even tried optometry prescribed cephalosporin-steroid eye drops & punctal plugs and while it did bring down the inflammation & reduce redness somewhat, it still left me feeling dry again within a few hours. But, with this ointment I no longer have to apply as many drops a day and I am now able to taper the dose of steroid eye drops! As other reviewers have mentioned, this ointment is pretty thick and leaves a blurry layer once applied so do keep that in mind. However, I do put a tiny dot in the daytime while I work my long shifts & it seems to keep me moisturized without causing too much greasiness. On a side note, I do have lash extensions & I was worried that this ointment would cause my extensions to fall out due to the mineral oil in the ingredients, however I have not experienced no lashes fallout when applied correctly by pulling the bottom lid down and inserting the ointment along the bottom lash line. Trust me this stuff will restore moisture to the eyes!! Don’t sleep on these, I feel my eye health getting back to normal!

Best product I have used so far and I have dumped tons of money down the drain on drops, gels, etc. that do not provide relief! My dry eye leads to sticking and pain most mornings. I have tried the drops and gels without complete or sometimes any success. The Dr. recommended Muro 128 ointment but I have had difficulty with the application, as it is so thick. It worked well, just difficult, fussy and wasted product with failed attempts, and don't get me started on the outrageous price of that other product. I tried the Refresh PM and it was the perfect nighttime solution I had been hoping for! It is just a little bit thinner of an ointment and melts quickly. Instead of a glob in my eyelashes, I find it coats my eye and provides dry eye protection through the night. Anybody having trouble with other products that are too thin or too thick, I think this is the "Goldilocks" of dry eye nighttime products, JUST RIGHT and it is HALF THE PRICE!

I AM SO HAPPY to have found this product again!! I have an illness that makes my eyes very dry. This product is the ONLY relief I have ever found for painful dry eyes. BE AWARE this product is nothing like an eye drop. It is more like Vaseline, but only until it hits your eyeball. Then, it melts across the surface of your eye in no other sensation than pure relief. ALSO BE AWARE that this product WILL cause your vision to be blurry. It is mostly intended for sleep, but, if you can spare enough closed-eye time for the product to dissipate, you will be able to finish that book/project/movie with no pain at all. How long does that take?? I don't think I am the best judge because my eyes are practically tearless. For me, maybe 20 minutes?? Also, be careful with application if you no longer have much sensation on your eye. The product is applied in a thin strip along the INSIDE OF THE LOWER LID. (Not as awkward as it sounds.)

Annoying, gooey stuff that really works. I use it at night in the winter and it really helps ease dryness & itchiness. In Jan, 2025 found it was much cheaper at my Publix grocery store.

It works very well

This helped my eyes stay moist while I was sleeping. Also helped with my eyesight

When the shelves were empty for the Refresh PM eye ointment in two stores (my doctor suggested this product for my dry eyes), I was frustrated. Then I remembered about Amazon (!) and was pleased to see it was available. Taking only 3 days to arrive, I have found the drops to be effective and soothing. The only hold up is that I like to read before turning out the light and now I have to put the ointment in after reading instead of falling asleep but I can do this. It's just a change in routine that is certainly worth it.
