I'm curious if it helps with dry eyes related to contacts? I realize its not used with contacts in place. I would use Blink or similar later if needed

I don't know. I don't wear contacts, but have a mild case of dry eye (the disease). My eye doctor sold this stuff in his office, but Amazon's price was better.

I've used Retaine MGD for over a year and it works great for dry eyes related to contacts. I use Retaine about 20 minutes before putting in my contacts and have found that I no longer need to use anything else during the day. I can now wear contacts for 12 hours without discomfort. I recommend it highly.

It's the only drops that have provided any relief for me.I don't have contacts though.

It really helps with dry eyes. I don't wear contacts though. Don't know if the source of dry eyes is important.

I don't wear contacts, but my opthamologist says he uses it and he can wear his contacts all night now. Hope this helps.

First I would say ask your eye care professional ... however, I have MGD and I got a sample of this yesterday from my eye doctor. The front of my box says all the things shown on the boxes here, with the addition of "Prolongs Contact Time" so it is possible it could help with that. I've only used it twice so far but it feels soooo soothing!

I have been taking Thera Tears for 4 or 5 years now and they do help my eyes feel better. I have really dry eyes and (in the interest of saving money) I only take two a day instead of the recommended three and if I forget to take them, I do notice a difference in the comfort of my eyes.

I have found it useless for my eyeglasses when I'm out hiking. I work up quite a sweat in our hills, and my glasses are usually covered in fog. This does not help a bit. If anyone has any workable suggestions I'd be happy to hear them!

In my experience, applied carefully does alleviate the dryness and puckering. As usual, be careful applying anything around eyes

I have worn my regular glasses, sunglasses over contacts, and safety glasses at varying times. I haven't noticed any discomfort. I use the Bilsom during leaf blowing/vacuuming and find some kind of eye covering beneficial. On the other hand, I don't do this for more than 30 minutes at a time.

I am very sorry, I don't know the answer to your question. I do not notice any difference in my eyes when I take this product. It was prescribed for me because I have age related "dry" macular degeneration. This product has been shown to help delay the onset of "wet" macular degeneration which is seriously bad for one's eyesight. I am 79 and have had "dry" macular degeneration for approximately 12 years. When my eyes are dry, I use an artificial tear product by Bausch & Lomb. Wish I could help you but only know about how this applies to me. I would think that ICaps wouldn't hurt but certainly do not know if they would help.

When I first got them in the mail, I used it for a month or so and saw no differences.My sister on the other hand, had somewhat of a result, though it made her eye itch.It works differently for everyone, so you should give it a try.

That is one of the uses I have used it for. IT was recommended to me by an eye doctor who said that there are two problems with the eyes regarding computers. One is that the the flickering lights are hard on the eyes and the brain to process. The second is that we blink less and consequently our eyes dry out. In fact, he said that most people's eye pain is dryness caused by looking at screens more that we were designed to do. Systane lasts longer than other products I have used.

I have serious dry eyes - they make nearly 0 tears (probably due largely to the lasik surgery I had). I used Restasis for a long while - it did not help. I then took TheraTears for several months and thought - but wasn't sure - they helped. I then stopped taking them - again for months - and my eyes got worst. I started again and have been taking them for several months, and have no plans to stop. I definitely feel they help. It's not a cure, but my eyes are much better.

My eye doctor recommended it for me. I have meibomitis- a chronic condition of the eye-close to dry eye problem. It helps my condition a lot.

I can't say. I tried using it, but found it irritated my eyes, so I had to stop after a few days.

I have used gel and ointment: some are thicker than others, depending on brand. Genteal for severe dry eyes works best for me, but it is thick enough that I have to blink several times to clear my eyes. Try several kinds to find what works for you.

I have been using this product for a couple of years now. I have no problem using it with eyeshadow. I haven't worn contact lenses since I have been using it but it absorbs really well and I don't think you will have a problem. I've been very happy with this product.

I have been using the product all over the eye applied in a circular motion. So far so good and I wear contacts.Hope that helps.

I have noticed the little lines at the corner of my eyes decreasing. I know it would work better if I used it morning and night. I have just been using in the mornings and they are getting smaller!

I just started my 2nd bottle....started out taking 3 for 2 days....worked great. Thought I'd save some money and just take 2 per day...worked enough so I could get my eyes open in the morning without much effort, but ultimately I decided to take 3 a day again and I have NO more dry eyes. They're completely normal again.
