My eye doctor prescribed this to me due to my visual demand and after an hour, my eyes felt drier than before, and needed to re-apply. Is this normal?

Hi, yes it can happen with balance from my experience as it has preservatives that can irritate the eye. If it still bothers you I suggest asking your doctor if you can use Refresh Optive eye drops made by Allergan (there are different types so ask him which one is best for you). For dry eye this will probably feel better but balance is also very good for stabilizing the tear film. Hope this helps.

My eye doctor prescribed Sustane Lubricant Eye Drops also. She gave me a trial size to use. I have a dry-eye problem at night. At least once every night, I must use some kind of drops. My choice of drops is Refresh Tears Lubricant (not the gel). No other product has been as helpful. I'm not sure why doctors recommend Sustane over the Refresh product. I hope this help you with an annoying problem.

I use them for chronic dry eye and my doctor has me use them up to four times a day. at first i had the same problem but now they work better. do not put more than one drop in at a time if you use more than that is when you run into problems. i hope this is helpful :)

I cannot explain why this is happening to you and suggest you ask your doctor or even your pharmacist. Meanwhile, due to Lasik upcoming surgery, my ophthalmologist now is recommending Oasis Tears. Guess even the center finds Oasis Tears a good replacement for Systane Balance which they had been recommending.

I find you have to use it two or three times a day for best results and it takes several days to get maximum results but if you run out and miss a day or two you have to start all over again.

I use it 4 times a day. If I am outside in the wind or anytime I have air blowing directly into my eyes, I have to apply more often. Also if you are reading, using computer, etc., you do not blink often enough, so your eyes dry out. How often I apply, depends on what I am doing. The longer you use it, the better the results are.

Both my wife and I have used Systane Balance Restorative Formula for several years.We do NOT have a problem with our eyes getting drier after one hour. Most of the time we apply it in the morning and evening, and eye remain moist most of the day.

My eye doctor recommended PURE MOIST. Admittedly, I have not tried it yet because I bought Aquify here when it was around $4 cheaper (which is still outrageous, and I should have had better sense). I have Air Optix Night and Day contact lenses, but I never wear them at night, and use Clear Care every night. I use Aquify only if I take them out for a while during the day.

Looks like R. Jensen answered your question. I can only add that I checked with my eye doctor to ensure it was safe for my eyes and he said no problem since it was in the blue green spectrum. It has worked wonders for my SAD issues! I just went to Costa Rica and was able to get over jet lag and adjusted to the new time zone very quickly.

I had my prescription added to mine. I also had tint added, so I am not able to answer your question.

Actually, this was suggested to me by my opthalmologist for aging eyes. What you may have is an eye allergy and I would see a doctor about an appropriate eye drop. BUT: iCaps is a very important component for good health and has extra elements that other vitamins don't have; Lutein is one and so is xeanthinan *spelling?*

Definitely. I use this at nite because my eyes dry as I sleep. You might want to try Gen Teal Gel Drops too. I use the drops in daytime when my eyes feel dry & scratchy. My eye dr recommended this product & it has worked better for me than any other drops. Hope it works well for you.

I noticed that the first or second times it comes out in a long 'drip' like you describe but after that it comes out like a thick blob. I use 2-3 drops in each eye at night. Just hold the tube over your eye and squeeze gently.

Yes Yes Yes!! I had severe dry eye. My eye doctor prescribed a very expensive "well advertised" eye drop. I just couldn't afford it, especially long term. Soon after taking ProOmega I started feeling a change. I have NO problem with my eyes now at all!!

No, this is a gel and affects your vision significantly. It is best used while sleeping.

Hi! Personally I enjoyed some darkness after a week or so and the ingredients seemed to help with conditioning right away. (Getting older and not really caring for my "eyelashes", haha.) I think mine were really dry and now being supple have softened and lengthened, so I would have to estimate for me really visible in 3-4 weeks.

I only waited about 10 minutes. I wish I could keep using it, but it dries my eyes out too much. When I used it I had beautiful results, though.

The Ultra has a higher viscosity ("thicker"). I find it much more soothing, and don't have to apply it as often. There's also an Ultra gel drop that is even "thicker" and really great when the air is really dry, or indoor heat or air is blowing. Nice to have options to choose from! Btw, my ophthalmologist recommended Systane Ultra, and my eyes feel much better.

Eye gel is more concentrated in content, should be more effective than eye drops. My mom who is 76 is using the eye gel recommended by doctor too

Dry eyes is one reason I purchased it for my office at work. My eyes have been watering for several hours in the morning, which can be caused by dry air. I have only used this unit for one week so don't know the results yet, but it certainly can't hurt since it will add moisture to the air.

Yes, my lashes returned to their sparseness when I stopped using. My lashes and brows look great when I use it, but it dries out my eyes so much that it becomes very difficult to wear my contacts. My eyes are so dry, they are really painful.

Yes, I was having headaches and it helped me not get them as frequently. But if your having blurred vision or anything else you need to get your eyes checked ASAP

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.
