do you use Systane Ultra eye drops --morning or nite and when do you use the Systane Gel drops -- morning or nite?

I use the gel drops primarily at night.....the gel blurs my vision for a few minutes immediately after use. It is OK to use them in the morning, as well, though. (I do on occasion if my eyes are really dry and scratchy when I get out of bed, but I don't plan on reading or driving for about 10-15 minutes after use.

I use hem any time during the day or night it better used as a lubricant for dry eye. I hopes this helps you. It is a good product.

Yes, it does seem to leak out and help with dryness in that area, but I would not consider it an eye cream type product. It is to moisturize the eyeball. I have to use eye moisturizer products all day, everyday, and find the the Systane products are hands down the best.

Absolutely yes. I wear soft contacts. Two different ophthalmologists have stressed these are the only drops to use. Having no preservatives is the key.

Hay also.....I just noticed that Amazon has them on sale right now for $13.20! The Enisyl-F Lysine ones, that is!!! And I wondered something else for you.....my Vet, a long time ago, said that I could ALSO use a mild over the counter eye drop whenever needed. Just ask your Pharmacist, they will be able to tell you which one to use!!!

I use more than directed. I empty the dropper onto my fingertips and apply all over my face and neck, including around my eyes. I use a couple droppers. Love the product.

No, the ointment is not the same thing. Ointment is much heavier and somewhat greasy like Vaseline or Aquaphor. It can also cause your vision to blur for a while. Genteal makes gel eye drops in a tube. I don't think Systane does. I hope I helped with your question.

Good question. I have read other reviews posted they had tried this. I alternate my applications, using Affirm every other night and switch to the moisurizer on the off nights. I use only eye cream around the eye area as my skin is just too sensitive to use the Affirm there.

I have talked with the tech support on the phone and was told that all the formulas are same in terms of active ingredients, they are just labeled differently for different uses. Some people/contexts need specifically labeled products. There are differences in thickness in some of the products. There is the spray which is pure liquid, the hydrogel which is a light gel, the opthalmalgic formula which is extremely thick (and hurts like HECK in the eye, much prefer the hydrogel or liquid for the eye). Those are the ones I know. There is another question here about which formula is best for what, and that is a very valuable discussion, many of the answers contain valuable animal care insights. What I don't know is if the "Hot Spot" formula is the pure liquid or the gel (in terms of getting what they consider to be the best thickness for that use). You could call their Tech Support and ask them-- they were very friendly to me. But yes, the 16oz is the best deal and has the trigger sprayer which is so much easier to operate, especially when your hands are slippery. I also use this product on myself, they make a whole line for human use but it is ALL the same thing.

I would guess every three to four weeks. A drop goes a long way and you may find you don't use it as frequently as other eye drops you've used in the past. I use it much less frequently than I did the Systane Ultra. This lasts longer in the eye it seems.

I have no idea who Ali Julia is or what Similassen eye drops are but Systane eye drops are fantastic for itchy, dry, irratated eyes. Very refreshing. It's like giving your eyes a drink of water.

I was curious about the same thing and was just reviewing their products at systane dot com. The only 2 products that even mentions contacts are Systane for contacts (used w/ contacts in) and Systane nighttime ointment which says "remove contacts before using." I have severe dry eye to the point of needing punctal plugs, but my eye doctor has said more or less the same. Take out your contacts and use an eye ointment at night, then drops with contacts during the day. Will probably try these next.

Hi, I am sorry that I cannot answer your question since I do not wear contact lens. I, however, am getting cataracts and Systane Ultra drops arereally soothing to my eyes. I hope you find your answer soon.

If you are looking for contact lenses, I really do not know. If you are looking for dry eyes, Systane Gel is one of the best but for very dried eyes. Does it helps you?

The MGD is for people with MGD problems, which is where the tear evaporates too quickly due to not having enough oil in your tears. The CMC doesn't contain the oil as the MGD does. If you've tried standard eye drops for 'dry eyes' and they don't work, I would try the MGD.

I also do not know because I wear glasses. I also switched to Systane Ultra Lubricant Eye Drops HIGH PERFORMANCE. Made by Alcon, and I like this product much more. Very soothing to the eyes. It says nothing on the package about contacts...I agree with the other person, you need to ask the pharmacist or your eye doctor. :)

depends on what your symptoms are, I have dry eye syndrome so I use preservative free eys drops during day and at night I use the ointment, better ck with your doctor

I take fish oil and the flax oil-I have dry eye-the eye doctor recommended taking both because of the high lignan in the flax oil.
