Biotrue Hydration Boost Eye Drops

I have had dry, scratchy, burning eyes for 40 years. Hypo-Tears worked for many years until it was discontinued. Then I began the search for a replacement, which was not at all easy. It was an expensive ordeal to buy so many different eyedrops, only to find they did not work, or even made the dryness and scratchiness WORSE. I tried Rx brands Restasis, Xiidra, Miebo. None helped. In fact, the Restasis seemed to make me feel unwell in general. Did not expect a whole-body feeling of unwellness from an eye drop. I get angry when I see eye "ointments" marketed for dry eyes. They are just petrolatum (vaseline). You can't even SEE once you've smeared petrolatum into your eye. It's greasy and gross. It's going to stain your pillowcase, and doesn't provide any relief whatsoever. Ointments are junk. Unless you put it into your pet's eyes before bathing to protect their eyes from shampoo. I need eyedrops before I go to sleep, in fact my eyes are so dry that if not adequately lubricated at bedtime, they will WAKE ME UP in the middle of the night from the scratchy discomfort of REM while I'm trying to sleep. I have eye drops in every room of the house, in all handbags, at work, and never leave home without them. I tried a new ophthalmologist 2 years ago. He had some interesting advice. He said to try to avoid eyedrops with preservatives, saying that they can build up in your system, potentially causing additional problems. This I took seriously. And then I tried all the preservative-free brands. Most provided no relief. This Biotrue Hydration Boost (green box) is the best solution I have found. I seem to need it less often, which must mean it's more effective. I have pretty much abandoned my dozens of other brands in favor of this one. So it's a big deal to finally receive some relief, and to know that it's preservative-free. I highly recommend. I'm happy to find it on Amazon for a reasonable price, I buy the 2-pack. However, I HATE the bottle. The cap is not user-friendly, and neither is the bottle. Some bottles had to be squeezed SO hard to dispense a drop that they made my fingers ache. After struggling for too long, I found a slender needle, disinfected it, and poked it into the tip, which worked to allow the drops to flow more freely. I would also prefer a flatter-shaped bottle, so that it would better fit into your pocket. I hope the manufacturer sees this. Please improve the bottle!

I purchased this for occasional dry and uncomfortable eyes, and it has worked very well. Whenever my eyes feel stiff, irritated, or overly dry, using this provides fast and noticeable relief. The moisturizing effect feels immediate, and my eyes feel much more comfortable shortly after use. I also appreciate that it is preservative-free, which makes it feel gentler and more suitable for repeated use when needed. That was an important reason I chose it. The drops feel clean and refreshing rather than heavy or overly medicated. It gives hydration without leaving an unpleasant residue or blurry feeling for long. This has become one of those items I like to keep nearby at home or during workdays when screen time causes eye fatigue. Overall, this has been highly effective whenever my eyes feel dry or strained. I would definitely buy it again. Five stars.

Product works great, but the dispensing method is not great. It does not do well creating droplets, mainly makes a stream. Sometimes it doesn't do anything when I squeeze it. My eyes are doused by the time I actually can get a drop or two in the eye. My wife loves their products for contacts, so gotta give them at least that. Maybe I'm just not figuring out the method, but it shouldn't be this hard to do. Just a warning to anyone who could have the same issue. Eyes feel great once I get some in them!

No preservatives, yet they last for months. Inexpensive, so an excellent value. They lubricate without any problems. They aren't oily, they don't dry and leave sharp crystals in your eyelashes (ouch!), and they keep your eyes comfortable for a while.

These things are great. I love the hydration boost contact solution they have. I unfortunately stopped wearing contacts for a year and only had generic contact solution in the house. I was dreading wearing my contacts every day because they would be so dry after a few hours. Usual eye drops that say they can be used with contacts often do not make a difference but these things really do work! They work so good. I keep some on me everywhere. I gave some the other day to someone at work who wears glasses that was complaining of dry eyes and they loved them as well. The size is the perfect amount of solution to apply multiple times, even after you blink and some needs to be patted away with a tissue, you still have more left over. There is no noticable difference in texture, other than it helps your eyes feel instant relief. It does not make your eyes feel grainy or oily. I will be buying these over and over again.

Excellent eye drops. Really hydrate eyes but the bottle design is lacking. The sides of the bottle will compress and no longer reinflate about half way through using the drops and it makes it very hard to squeeze more drops into your eyes after that happens. I put up with it because the drops are doing so well for me but it is an aggravation.

The eyedrops themselves, when you can get the solution into your eye, are great - however - if you're purchasing these eyedrops for someone with hand weakness, tremors, mobility issues in general - I (unfortunately) do not recommend buying this. :( 1. It's NOT like the standard Visine style delivery system where you barely squeeze the bottle and you've got drops everywhere (and one or two are guaranteed to hit the target). You must REALLY SQUEEZE HARD before even one drop comes out. 2. While you very firmly squeeze the bottle for quite a few seconds until a drop is released - if you have unsteady hands, and can't stand with head tilted back for more than 5-10 seconds, this will be difficult for you. 3. The cap does NOT "lock" on - you cannot tell if the cap is secure.. If you're going to put these drops in your purse, be sure to put them in a ziplock baggie to avoid the probability that the cap will come off if the bottle is loosely in a side pocket, etc. The drops are nice - they are soothing & seem to work ok. But the package design is so awful, I'm on amazon today trying to find another similar product with an easier-to-use dispensing bottle. Bummer. **Updated with a photo** Just used the drops to flush some dust out of my eye - and decided to include a photo to illustrate what the core of the problem could be. The tip is SO TINY and "barely there". With other eyedrops, you have something you can see that physically points to your eye (those of us who are blind without glasses on will "get" this lol). When you hold this away from your eye - I swear it's impossible to hit your eyeball with the drop, so you have to move it closer to your eyeball. And even then you can't get the drop to fall onto your eyeball. It needs to have an adequate-length tip that you can accurately aim at your eye to deliver the drop.

Works really well. My son puts it in his eyes every morning to keep his eyes refreshed throughout the whole school day and when he gets home, he sometimes puts in 1 to 2 more drops just to make sure his eyes didn't dry out in the afternoon becuase when his eyes do get dry, his vision gets blurry and it is uncomftorable for him. Additionally, he said that it is very easy to put the drops into his eyes. He also took the eye drops, and then put like 10 drops into one of those travel kits into the bottle that has a small nozzle so you can just drop it into your eyes while somewhere else because the eye drops could not fit into the kit. It has been 2 months and he still is using it. I bet it will last a lot longer because it is still pretty full. Though I do really wish that the eye drops lasted the whole day, not just half.
