Yes it works instantly and since it is jel it does not run out but stays in eye.

I have found that it gives some relief when applied, because it feels soothing, but in my case (chronic dry left eye that doesn't produce tears & always feels gritty), after using it steadily for at least a couple of months, it really didn't make much of a long-term difference. I kind of thought that its homeopathic properties would work the opposite of the way it did - that I might not feel any difference right away but after time it would help my body to alleviate the condition on its own. This didn't happen, but I still use it because it feels good when applied, and I will continue to give it more time to see what happens long term.

For me it didn't work instantly. I believe this is because I have a problem with total closure of one eye. But like with any product the solution lies with the individual.

Honestly, the device is wonky sometimes and typically takes a minute to work. Afterwards it'll work without a hitch, though!

it does not turn on instantly, but turn on right away, there is a hesitate about half or one second.

Probably a minute or two. A new product by Oasis is "Glue Dots." They are instant, I believe.

It takes a few seconds after pressing either the on or off button for the mechanism to move the light switch. It does not bother me that it is not instantaneous.

It will work if you give it time. It said the something when I plugged in. But in a few minutes it worked,

I bought this and it takes forever to work. Over a week! It does finally work but that was too long for me. I threw it away and bought something else that works in 24-48 hours. I hope this helps!

I am sure it varies, but it's quick. Usually in the first 24 hours, in my experience.

It works but it takes time. No overnight results. I used it for spot treatment and I was very happy I used it twice a day

I usually don't wait more than a few seconds. The color doesn't seem to change the longer I wait and the color pad will change colors as the area dries. Hope this helps.

It takes less than a sec but you need 2amps to work it correctly or else its slow

It should work right away, I think it's broken. Need to return it. I had to return the first one that I bought and had it within a few days.

It might take 20 minutes. If you're looking for fast, this is not going to be fast. If you want to use it at home it works great.

If you are in need of a quick response this is not the one for you...it takes over three or four minuets for it to register.....do not know if I have a defective one or not...cannot get a response to talk with anyone about the problem...I would suggest that you look for a better one....Joyce r.

In my experience, it starts to work within minutes of chewing. I keep it in the car and use it whenever I feel sleepy. It perks me right up.

It took about 12 hours before I started seeing any results, then for the next 3 days I was constantly finding them around. Since then, there has been no other bugs. It does work and I am very satisfied, best product I have ever found.
