My Exp with Systane

[Delilah]

I would have to say that Systane helps a lot better than the GenTeal drops, for me the GenTeal are too thick and just messes up my eyes even more, I found that the Systane drops provide enough moisture to let me have some relief for about an hour or 2 at the most. I like the Systane and these drops were given to me by my eye doctor here in Pocatello, Idaho for free, I am not sure how much they really are as eye drops cost and arm and a leg lol Anyway's I just wanted everyone to know my exp with Systane. Thank you Delilah

Not only do they cost and arm and a leg, but you have to throw in a kidney for good measure! They are expensive, but they really are one of my favorites. But now that I have been trying the Dwelle and Dakrina (Dwelle being my favorite), I don't use them as much as I used too. GenTeal Gel for night is good, but not during the day - you are right, too thick. The other GenTeal formulas don't work for me at all, so I don't bother with them.

You are right about this forum too. This is a great group of people and it really makes you realize that you are not alone and there is always someone out there ready to listen and offer a bit of advice, or a sympathetic ear. I can't tell you how glad I was when I found this.

Take care and don't let it get you down.

I'm glad to hear this. Dr. Sall started me on GenTeal. Sustane wasn't out then. But I understand from Kyle that those are the only two that he highly recommends.

In a clinical study in his office we had no choice during the study we had to use Refresh. During the study 95% of the participants asked if they could go back to the GenTel but for control we were denied the GenTeal until the study was finished.

I like the Systane drops also. They're really no more expensive than other eye drops: about $8-$10 at Wal-Mart.

Aren't there two types of Systane....with preservatives and without? Which type are you guys using?

I hadn't heard that I would be interested in knowing that too. I have only seen one in the pharmacy but not anywhere else.

They offer a preservative free version in single-use vials. $19.49 for 56 on drugstore.com.
