You may not be feeling the dry part YET! Did he do one of those stain tests on the lid and check your eye in the dark- they can tell if your eye is not keeping moisture in and actually becomes like dry skin on the rest of your body? If nothing else, they are finding out that the types of substances in these pills help keep eyes healthy as we age! I showed it to my eye Dr and he heartily approved of the substances in here! Good luck, and feel free to respond again if you want or need to.

I do have dry eye but if I didn't I would still take PRN because of all the health benefits. it's a quality product that supports women's health, joint health and health in general. I am a health coach and am familiar with the ingredients and the dosage. I can't speak for your doctor, I can only give my opinion.

I would ask your doctor. These have concentrated levels of god oils - much hgher than "normal" oils.

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?

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.

They work great, I work ten hour shifts with most of the time behind a computer screen. They clear my vision and were recommended by the doctor that did my lasik surgery. I also spend some time on my home computer after work and on my days off and couldn't do without them. I buy the four pack to save money and have then in various convenient places that are not too far away. Sorry to sound like a commercial but they really are that great. The gel type didn't work for me however, just the liquid.

I would ask your doctor first. I am not a contact lense wearer. I use this product anytime. I hope that helped?

These are eye drops and they worked very well for me. I suffer from dry eyes. I was using a product called no tears , I stopped using that product and I tried Similasan Irriated Eye Relief and I liked this product better.

I guess I never paid any attention. I take Vitamin C every day. My eye doctor suggested these tabs after referring with another eye doctor. I take 4 per day. 2 in the A.M. and 2 before I go to bed. I trust my doctor so I have not questioned him. At least I do not think my eyes have changed much and stayed the same. So I will be taking this Bausch+Lomb PreserVision AREDS rest of my life as long as I can afford it. My eyesite is important to me specially now at 72. Hope you get the answers you are looking for. Take care, Margaret

I've been using these for over a year and have never seen the words "sensitive", "moderate", or "severe" on the actual box. I just checked again now. It does say "soothing" and "preservative-free". My ophthalmologist recommended them to me due to the extreme dryness that sometimes results from eye medications such as Travatan Z. Before I used Celluvisc my eyes got so dry that I woke up two mornings with the top layer of my cornea pulled from my eye by my eyelid (not dangerous, but quite painful.) Since using this gel formulation I've not had that happen again. The feeling in the eyes upon administration is soothing, even more soothing than water. (The gel lasts all night, unlike simple drops, so it's not likely to irritate - the purpose is long-term non-irritation.)

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.

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 naturalpath dr prescribes this product for me. i have severe dry eye. I take 3 caps a day. Yes my eyes have improved. I'm 69yrs old have had dry eyes for years. even had the surgery to help. moving to a cleaner air to a moister one also helped. Las vegas (car immissions)gave me such a problem, moved to san diego, is dryer inland where I'am but the clean air makes an enormous difference.

My optometrist recommended these to me since they do NOT contain preservatives.

No odor. They are in a large gel cap that you swallow so you don't taste anything. I only take one a day even though the recommended dose is two a day. I think they've helped the dryness/irritation in my eyes when I wear contacts. I was wearing my contacts only three days in a row, then glasses for a couple days. I've been wearing my contacts much more since I've started taking these. I have less fluctuation in my vision too.

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.

Hello, I wear a PROSE (prosthetic rigid RX contact lens) due to chronic severe dry eye and this saline was recommended by my doctor at University MI Kellogg Eye Ctr. for my saline solution. It is not a dry eye drop, like Refresh drops. I wish you luck. �

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.
