Murine Advanced Dry Eye Relief Eye Drops

This is equally as good - no, actually, I shall admit it, it's better than - the VisuXL drops I've so evangelically reviewed on here. The trouble is, of course, after awhile all medicines used daily begin to lose their exceptional effectiveness; in this case becoming sticky and cloying. So I tried Murine drops because they were on a special price, 50% cheaper than VisuXL. AND I was immensely pleased and relieved to find Murine just as good and even better. They're thinner, less sticky and much more immediately refreshing than any other drops I've tried, very cooling and soothing. And as long as you are careful not to use them more than 2 or 3 times a day, they bear daily use for an extended period - I've been using them for about 6 months now most successfully, alongside VitaPOS eye ointment at night. If you have SEVERE dry eye syndrome like me please try these drops and VitaPOS ointment at night before bed: it makes life with very dry eyes bearable :)

I have 'loose lids' and hence dry eyes that are very sensitive and vulnerable to contaminants - this product is soothing, non-irritant, applied just pre-bed so that my eyes are coated overnight, feel refreshed in the morning. A great aid for my health care and especially my eyes, meets the criteria requested by my eye doctor - recommended.

I used to suffer terribly from many of the common symptoms of dry eye syndrome, (ultimately caused by multiple prescription medications for unrelated chronic health issues). Thankfully, these Murine Professional Advanced eye drops have made a significant difference. The problems are gone for the most part & nothing else I've tried is anywhere near as effective. My eyes were constantly itchy, watery, & highly irritated. In turn, they were chronically fatigued which caused annoying blurred vision & problems focusing. I also suffered from excessive eye discharge which caused large sharp clumps of sleep to form in & around my eyes, increasing irritation further still, & it was quite painful at times. The bottle isn't the most convenient to use & these drops are very pricey indeed when compared to other products I've tried. However, some of that cost is offset as I don't need to use these drops anywhere near as frequently as those other products. (In general one drop per eye, twice per day is sufficient to keep all of the problems at bay). These drops are definitely THE best I've tried from well over a dozen alternatives, (including other products from Murine's own range). I've been using these eye drops for 7-8 months & I'm very happy with them, without a doubt things have been vastly improved. I still have to use them daily or the problems quickly return. Importantly, these eye drops also last for 90 days once opened which is incredible considering they don't contain any preservatives, (I'm assuming that the built in filtration system has a part to play there). Most of the other products I've tried have a maximum life of 45 days once they've been opened & they've all contained preservatives. Over time I've tried multiple over the counter eye drops, most of which contained Hypromellose &/or various preservatives. Ultimately, solving this problem came down to the specific ingredients. Many of the drops I tried helped in part but none of them FULLY dealt with the problems. Additionally, when using Hypromellose based drops my eyes became INTENSELY SENSITIVE to light especially upon awakening from sleep, it was absolutely awful!! None of the other products cleared up the excessive eye discharge either. After researching the problem further Hypromellose based eye drops &/or certain preservatives seemed to be a common factor which lead me to this product. The relief was literally instantaneous from these drops for the irritation & within 48 hours the other symptoms had cleared up entirely as well. (I still seem to suffer from occasional flare ups even whilst using these drops daily, however, I just temporarily increase the frequency of use & the problems quickly subside again). On average, I'm going through a bottle every 4-6 weeks & I've stopped using any other products. Supplied in full retail packaging which includes a comprehensive leaflet outlining product usage & details. Best before dates are printed on both the packaging & the bottle. The bottles also have an anti-tamper seal on the caps. Every bottle I've received has had a minimum 18 month shelf life. Excellent relief from a list of symptoms & these drops last an exceptional 3 months once opened. Whilst very pricey, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these eye drops at all & I shall be continuing to use them for as long as required. 5/5.

The drops are very good at soothing itchy, dry, tired eyes. The small stubby dispensing bottle is dreadful. It has a very short nozzle so the actual bottle is too near your eyelashes, and it can take a long time of continual squeezing the bottle for the drops to dispense, which isnt great. Usually end up with a wet face. Next time will try to source product in a different bottle.

I've used these eye drops for about 20 years. One drop before make up in the morning and one drop before I go to bed. They have been difficult to find and I was very pleased to be able to get these drops delivered. I'm rather elderly BUT I do have good eyesight - the Vision Express annual appointment has not needed new glasses for 5 years !!

The eyedrops are effective but despite the bottle being soft enough to squeeze, you have to squeeze VERY hard & takes so long for the drop to release it's a challenge to keep your eye open long enough & keep the bottle correctly aimed at your eye, so have switched to a different brand - purely because of the difficulty with the bottle

I have had chronic blepharitis ( eyelids sticky and even stick together ) for some time. Now with a cataract removed in the left eye and awaiting a similar operation in the right eye I felt it was time to do something about it. These drops are brilliant.....two drops to each eye in the morning and the same at bedtime - and so far no more sticking eyelids. Also no preservative. Only problem is the size of the neck of the bottle....it is too large to fit most eye drop dispensers....could well be thinned down to fit. Otherwise all OK.

Works well for medication induced dry eyes. No preservatives - which can cause dryness if used for long periods. If used three times a day it'll run out before it needs throwing out.
