Refresh Relieva for Contacts

I picked up Refresh Relieva for Contacts Lubricant Eye Drops (0.27 fl oz) because I deal with dry eyes, especially when wearing contacts for long periods, and I wanted something gentle but effective that I could use throughout the day. After using these consistently, I can honestly say they’ve become a permanent part of my daily routine. The first thing I noticed was how quickly they work. The moment I put a drop in each eye, there’s immediate relief — no burning, no stinging, just soothing moisture that makes my eyes feel refreshed again. If you’ve ever had that gritty, tired feeling from staring at screens or wearing contacts too long, you know how amazing it feels when something actually helps right away. What I really appreciate about these drops is that they’re safe to use with contacts still in, which makes them incredibly convenient. I don’t have to remove my lenses every time my eyes feel dry — I can just apply the drops and move on with my day. That alone makes a huge difference, especially when you’re busy or out of the house. The formula feels lightweight and natural, not thick or goopy like some eye drops. My vision clears quickly after using them, and there’s no cloudy residue. They hydrate without making my eyes feel overly wet or uncomfortable. It’s a clean, refreshing feeling that lasts longer than I expected. I also like the bottle design — it’s small enough to toss into a bag or keep in a desk drawer, and the dropper gives consistent, controlled drops without flooding your eye. A little goes a long way, so even though the bottle looks small, it lasts longer than you’d think with normal daily use. I’ve tried several eye drops in the past, and some either didn’t last very long or caused slight irritation. With Refresh Relieva, my eyes feel calm and comfortable, even after hours of screen time or wearing contacts all day. It’s especially helpful during dry indoor weather or allergy seasons when my eyes tend to struggle more. Another big plus is that it doesn’t leave my eyes feeling sticky afterward. Everything just feels balanced and hydrated, which is exactly what you want from a lubricant drop. It genuinely feels like it restores moisture instead of just masking dryness for a few minutes. Of course, everyone’s eyes are different, but for me, this product has been extremely reliable. If you wear contacts or deal with dry eyes regularly, having something that works this smoothly makes a noticeable difference in everyday comfort. Overall, I’m really happy with these drops. They’re gentle, effective, easy to use, and provide fast relief when I need it most. This is one of those practical health purchases that quietly improves your day, and I’ll definitely continue buying it. Highly recommended for contact wearers or anyone dealing with dry, tired eyes — soothing, reliable, and absolutely worth it.

Great and effective eye drops! I find these eye drops relieve the eye irritation and burning with a cooling effect that's very soothing for my dry eyes. This product is a squeeze dropper that is very easy to use anytime my eyes feel dry for instant relief. It's also small enough to take it anywhere for quick and convenient relief. I like that the product and the retail box both have a safety seal on them for your safety. I will purchase this product again.

As someone who wears contacts for 10+ hours a day, I’ve tested more eye drops than I’d like to admit. Most either sting when they hit my lenses, blur my vision for a minute, or only give me a quick splash of relief before I’m back to blinking like crazy. Refresh Relieva for Contacts has become my new standard because it sidesteps all of those problems and actually feels like it was designed with long-haul lens wearers in mind. Performance & Comfort The formula is smooth, hydrating, and lens-compatible. The biggest win for me is that it doesn’t create that “milky haze” some drops do when they meet contact lenses. One or two drops per eye, and my eyes feel refreshed without any temporary vision fog. It’s instant relief for end-of-day dryness or those moments when AC or heat makes your eyes feel tight. Long-Lasting Moisture Compared to regular Refresh Tears, this one feels like it stays in the eye a bit longer—likely because of the HA (hyaluronic acid) and glycerin. I don’t find myself reaching for the bottle every hour. On a typical workday, I’ll use it in the morning before putting lenses in, once in the afternoon, and sometimes before heading out in the evening. That’s enough to keep irritation away. Tips from My Routine • Use before inserting contacts for a smoother lens wear experience. • Keep the bottle in a cooler pocket or bag if you’re out all day—cold drops feel incredibly soothing. • If you’re sensitive to preservatives, double-check the label, but I’ve had no reactions even with regular use. Pros: • Safe and comfortable with both soft and rigid gas-permeable contacts • No blurring, stinging, or “film” on lenses • Hydrates longer than standard artificial tears • Compact, travel-friendly bottle Cons: • Small bottle size means you’ll go through it fairly quickly if you use it daily • Slightly pricier than basic artificial tears Verdict If you wear contacts and have been stuck tolerating dryness because most drops mess with your lenses, this is the fix you’ve been waiting for. It’s comfortable, effective, and makes long days at a computer or out and about so much more manageable. Definitely worth keeping in your daily carry.

This is the best eye drops, I have used, to relieve irritation from dry eye. I did treat my eye lids with diluted peppermint oil. Got rid of whatever was causing redness, flaking and inflammation. I did repeated treatments until my eyes and lids felt normal and not itching and burning. But after I have learned, about dry eye, I can still see a few of the gland openings are clogged. This causes the dry eye. Next warm compresses, etc., but in the mean time these drops lubricant and calm my eyes. Doesn’t cause noticeable blurry vision or weird residue. Packaging is straight forward, no difficult dropper bottle. Also, it’s priced to not be so precious, that if I miss a drop into my eye, I am not bothered. Best to not touch tip to the eye, in any way. That way you “know” it’s sterile and can use the whole bottle without worry. I would recommend this for dry eye, it’s been a great experience.

Works perfect. Keeps my eyes from tearing up

This is a combination review of a handful of preservative free eye drops. This is by no means extensive nor thorough. There are many others on the market that I have yet to try, but these were the ones I believed to be most relevant to my needs, which consist of relief after PRK surgery. Drops reviewed: Refresh Relieva for contacts Systane Gel Drops Systane Hydration PF Biotrue Systane Ultra PF Oasis Tears Plus I will cross post this on each of the other drops' pages. I will review the drops based on relief, perceived longevity, consistency, ease of use, and relevant features. At the time of this review, I am at exactly one month post surgery. I will be rating each of these drops 5 stars on their relevant pages because they all do exactly what they're designed to do and don't have any glaring issues that warrants fewer than 5 stars. The in-post reviews are relevant to comparing between these drops. Refresh Relieva (5 stars): These drops are fantastic. I find that I want to reach for these the most often when I'm looking for good eye lubrication. These drops spread over my eye very quickly without feeling like they stick to the edges of my eyes or eyelashes. Out of all the drops other than the gel, these drops feel like they last the longest in between drops. I use this the least often and find great relief for about half an hour before I want to use them again. These drops feel less slimy than the other drops except for Biotrue. Out of all of the other bottles, it's the most traditional dropper and easiest to use, but due to the design, it may be most susceptible to contaminants and early expiration. It's the only bottle that I'm able to fit my nanodropper onto and that will potentially mitigate the potential contamination and as a result, will prevent early expiration as well as extend the number of drops due to the smaller drops the nanodropper creates. Overall, these are my favorites drops. Systane Gel (3 stars): Out of all of the drops, I reach for these least often. I thought I might try them to see if they last longer and provide the longest lasting relief. If that's what you're looking for, these drops are great, except there are drawbacks that cause me to not use them. They're sticky. If I fall asleep with them in, my eyelids get a little glued together and I sometimes have to pick the gel out of my eyelashes and that can be very uncomfortable. They provide a great deal of relief for the longest period of time and that's the saving grace for these drops, but I'd rather not deal with the slime I get all over my face when I inevitably rub my eyes due to the uncomfortable residue that sits on the edges of my eyes and eyelashes. This dropper is very easy to use and on par with the Refresh dropper. I have no complaints about the amount it drops and the ease of use. Systane Hydration (5 stars): These drops are a very close second to Refresh overall. The relief is only noticeably less than Refresh because the Refresh feels so good. These are exactly what I would expect from a high quality drop and would not be disappointed if these were the only drops available to me. They last about 20-30 minutes and are easy to use. The consistency of these drops is pretty thin. They're only ever so slightly thicker than Biotrue, Ultra, and Refresh. The dropper produces a slight bit of waste if you don't stop squeezing at the right moment but is otherwise very easy to use. Overall, my second favorite drops to use. Biotrue (4 stars): The relief that these drops provide are comparable to Refresh except they don't last as long. I end up having to use these fairly frequently because they don't last very long. I've been using these drops just to get through the bottle. These drops just feel slightly inferior to Systane Hydration in almost every aspect. They go on very nicely and don't stick to my eyelashes or the edges of my eyes as much as Systane, but they don't last as long, provide comparable relief, and the bottle is far more difficult to use. The consistency is the thinnest out of all these drops. This bottle has a special technology that requires a great deal of force to squeeze out a drop. Despite that, the bottle creates a significant amount of waste no matter how you squeeze it, and you have to squeeze it pretty hard. This bottle is my least favorite to use even if the drops are pretty decent. Overall, these are my second to last choice only beating the gels. Systane Ultra PF (5 stars): I think that if I had gotten these in a bottle, they'd be my second favorite to use. They're my go-to for when I'm on the go and need portable drops. They provide a great deal of relief and give about 30 minutes of lubrication. I almost always grab a few of these if I'm going to be out of the house for an extended period of time. The consistency is thin and far less slimy than Hydration. I find that they coat my eye very well and don't stick to my eyelashes and the edges of my eyes. My only issue with these is that they create a significant amount of waste compared to the bottles. I also end up dropping them or losing them when they drop out of my pockets, but they serve a purpose. There's always some product that gets stuck in the twist off cap, so that's a problem too. They're great for transport though, and if I had a bottle, I'd probably prefer it over Hydration. Overall, I really like these drops but I feel bad about the waste. Oasis Tears Plus (3 stars): I feel like these drops are the standard for high quality drops. They provide a fair amount of relief, they last a fair amount of time (roughly 20 minutes), and they're the second most thick drops only less thick than the gel. I don't think I'd get these drops again with these other options. I don't dislike them, but they just don't provide the same amount of relief and longevity as some of the other options. It's also smaller than the Ultra so I get fewer drops out of them. They seem to be smaller so they produce less waste, but not by much. They're very easy to use, but all of these disposable drops produce waste of materials and some product gets stuck in the twist cap, so there's always waste there as well. The Ultra is no different. Overall, I'd probably never use these unless they serve a particular purpose that I'm unaware of.

These are by far the best lubricating eyedrops I've used for contact lenses. I wear color contacts a lot of time and theyre thicker than regular contacts and unfortunately dry out quicker and aren't as comfortable. These eyedrops are a game changer! They are almost like a gel but not quite and have given me superior comfort with my lenses. This is all I'll be using to refresh my lenses going forward. Yes the bottle is small but a little goes a long way.

The drops provide great relief when looking at screens all day!
