I have never been a big eye drop user as I've had contacts and glasses for years without a dry eye symptom.  Last year I had Lasik surgery, which left me using a plethera of drops on a daily basis.  Because you are unable to use eye drops with preservatives after the surgery, I opted for the Allergan Optive Sensitive Eye Drops for daily use.  One of my doctors told me about putting these individual vialed drops in the refrigerator to keep them cold prior to use.  I must admit I continously do this as it is such a soothing feeling to a dry, tired eye. It's been over a year now and I use these drops as needed, which is less and less often as time goes by.  I do believe my Lasik surgery recovery went to great because of the Optive Eye Drops and their ability to actually get rid of the dryness feeling without having to reapply often. I would recommend the Allergan Optive Lubricant Eye Drops to anyone looking for an eye drop that works amazingly and eleviates any signs or symptoms of dry eye.

I used a different type of eye drops for a long time, but I was given a sample of Refresh Optive by my eye doctor, and I haven't looked back since.  At the time, I was wearing Oasis contacts with hydraclear, and I felt like the hydraclear was wearing off, leaving my eyes dry and my contacts uncomfortable.  Refresh Optive eye drops kind of feel like hydraclear or something similar.  Instead of just adding moisture like other eye drops (which always felt like I was adding water to my eye, which did no good at all), it actually lubricates  my contacts.  As a college student, I've seen a lot of late nights and my eyes are usually dry when I wake up and it's hard to make my contacts comfortable.  Refresh Optive gets rid of that dry feeling and makes my contacts fell new again, not matter how long I've been wearing them.  It is a bit pricey, but the comfort is definitely worth the price, and a 0.5 oz bottle lasts for quite a while.
