do you put the drops directly into the eye or does it have to be diluted ?

I put it in my eye, full strength, and it feels soooooooo good! I don't think they're marketing these as eyedrops but they are really great as such!

I have tried them directly in my eyes and had no problems doing so. I tried a different product - silver solution; however, I started seeing pieces of silver or something floating in my eyes. I switched to MSM drops because of your question after doing an investigation.

yes but you dilute it in water. it really isn't supposed to be taken straight

it first must state that it can be used for ophthalmic purposes...but you dilute it with distilled water and use it as an eyewash.

I have used this for years. I hold my eye open and drop the amount I want at the corner of my eye . Keep at room temperature. It takes practice and you will get the hang of it in no time. Good Luck, Debbie

Yes, the drops a sterile petroleum salve and they keep your eyes from drying out overnight. Yes, you need to use the daytime products as usual. I had a real bad problem with dry eyes after surgery. I went to an ophthalmologist who put "tear drain plugs" or also called Punctal Plugs. It took about a year for my eyes to get normal. Sorry to have to tell you that! Ask the ophthalmologist office if they do it before going if you decide to. Not all of them know how to do the procedure. It is painless and only takes 1-2 minutes. I truly believe I would still be suffering today if I hasn't gotten the tear drain plugs plus using drops. Yes, the drops a sterile petroleum salve and they keep your eyes from drying out overnight.

In my opinion it is better to dilute it yourself. That way you will be in control of how much it is diluted.

The tag says to "Hand Wash in Cold Water only w/a mild detergent". Hubby was told by Dr. to wash eyelids with baby shampoo before using a warm compress. I bought some Visine eye cleaner Pads. If you clean your lids before using a compress, the compress stays cleaner (less washing) Plus you open up your pores using a compress and you don't want dirty junk to be steamed into your open pores.

Hello. I would dilute with water. It's a very concentrated oil. I'm pretty sure it doesn't recommend applying directly to skin. I placed in a spray bottle w/water and sprayed outer layers of clothing & shoes. Works well. Recommend gloves if applying directly.

The active ingredients of Optive eye drops are carbomethylcellulose sodium 0.5% and glycerin 0.9%. No inactive ingredients are listed; no mention of preservatives are mentioned. It's my opinion that there are no preservatives. You can double check, though, at refreshbrand.com.

You can put it anywhere except the eyes and internally. Consult a doctor first.

FALSE! It comes in a plastic bottle. I have diluted it and put the diluted solution in a plastic spray bottle without any problems. However, it's full strength in the "plastic bottle" it comes in so I don't know why anyone would say it would eat through the bottle.

Treat it like lotion except dont put it around your eyes. And with me I like to pat the serum into my skin rather than rub. I feel like it goes into my skin better

It comes with an eye dropper which I use to put the serum in my hands. When it's about half gone, I put it on my hands without using the dropper.

Do you pull your lower lid down, and put the gel next to your lid. Easier than trying to put it into your eye.

Hello! According to the manufacture it's not recommended to apply near the eye. I hope my answer was helpfull :)!

It's applied to the base of the eyelashes on the lid. Just think of it as a clear liquid eyeliner. Make sure you shake it before applying and don't put so much that some may get in your eye. I've done that a couple of times, and it doesn't hurt but makes you see blurry for a bit.

It has alcohol in it, so you will want to keep your eyes closed until that evaporates and it dries. Otherwise I'm not really sure cause I haven't gotten it in my eyes. It doesn't bother me to put it in my general eye area but the alcohol vapor will slightly burn if don't keep them closed a few seconds while it dries.
