It's very expensive, but is the best OTC product for dry eyes due to LASIK or Intralase surgery / chronic dry eyes. Highly recommend you give it a try.

Optive was given to me by my eye care doctor because I have watery itchy eyes. Within 15 minutes of using the drops I experienced uncontrollable sneezing, extreme itching, burning and redness to my eyes and ended up losing a day of work because of the severity of the allergic type attack I was having.

I was given the Optive by my Eye Dr. I have been having severe dizziness for several months but didn't think about the drops causing it. I have not been able to drive when using these drops and having Asthma could be the cause of the extra trouble breathing as well. When using anything always check the reactions before using it. This has been and awful experience because of the dizziness.

Optive was given to me by my eye care doctor because I have watery itchy eyes. Within 15 minutes of using the drops I experienced uncontrollable sneezing, extreme itching, burning and redness to my eyes and ended up losing a day of work because of the severity of the allergic type attack I was having. I did not link the Optive to my attack until I used it a second time before going to bed that evening and again within 5 minutes this time the attack came back with a vengeance. After 24 hours of non use I am back to normal. Read More Read Less
