Review: Long-lasting moisture - I've been using Refresh eyedrops for years, but the relief never lasted long. In searching for new preservative-free eye drops, I came across these. I was a bit nervous about the ideal of a "gel" (I wouldn't call them that personally; they're thicker than usual drops, but not by much). But I love them. I got these mostly for use at night right before bed, and I purchased the Extra bottle of drops from Thera Tears for daytime use. The first time I put these gel drops in, my vision got very blurry, but that only lasted for a few minutes until the drops worked their way around in my eyes. By morning, for the first time in as long as I can remember, my eyes weren't painfully dry anymore. I love these. I noticed some other reviewers mentioned a "grainy" feeling. I wouldn't say that, but I think I know the sensation I mean. On the second time I used these drops I felt a weird dryness for about a minute. It seemed to have to do with my eyelid moving across my eye where part of the eye was coated with the gel drops and part was still dry. That caused a semi-painful scratchy sort of feeling that I could someone calling "grainy." But as soon as I moved my eyes around a bit then closed them for a minute or so, that feeling went away. The drops just had to be worked around. Being thicker that can take a little longer than normal eye drops. So that could be what others are describing unless they received damaged bottles (maybe ones that were exposed to freezing temps or too much heat in shipping?) or unless they had a reaction to something in them. But my experience has been quite positive, especially now that I know how to work around that brief uncomfortable feeling. UPDATE: I've been paying more attention to that "grainy" feeling with these gel drops compared to the thinner ones. And it seems to be partly an eyelash thing in my case in addition to it taking longer to work its way around the eyes. Because the gel is a thicker drop, it seems to move the lashes around more if it comes in contact with them, and that's causing the scratchy feeling temporarily (like having a lash in your eye). It still sorts itself out quickly though. I have very straight lashes that come in front of my eyes if they're not curled, so if you don't have that issue, it might not affect you that way.
Review: Soothes dry eyes - The eye doctor recommended this for my husbands dry eyes and this seems to help alleviate the problem. Easy to use too.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Unfortunately i am sure the drops did exceed 130 degrees since our temps were in the upper 90s and it was in a hot closed in ups truck all day**
A: I had a similar issue called theratears recommende temp is 51 to 85 degrees

**Q: Is this the gel or the regular thera tears formula?**
A: It's a gel. You can tell by the way it makes your vision less clear for a few minutes. It is easy to use, but I don't think it is very effective for my dry eyes. It leaves a brownish residue and gums up my eyelashes. I have found something better without those drawbacks.

**Q: Does one single use container allow for 2 drops in each eye 3 times a day? How many drops can I expect in one container?**
A: Yes. There are about 5 or 6 drops in each single use vial. These Liquid Gel drops are for nighttime use. I try to put them in my eyes once I'm in bed and then not open my eyes again until hours later. I will reuse a vial within 24 hours if there is any left, but after that I will discard the vial. These drops contain no preservatives, like bottled drops do, so it's really not safe to reuse a single use vial for longer than a few hours.

**Q: These drops arrived from Amazon very hot exposed to the high temps for a long time, will it damage the product?**
A: As long as the temperature did not exceed 130* F then the product is good to go.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Soothes dry eyes
*by A***R on January 12, 2026*

The eye doctor recommended this for my husbands dry eyes and this seems to help alleviate the problem. Easy to use too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for CPAP users
*by J***E on October 17, 2025*

I have sleep apnea and sleep with my eyes open. I have constant dry eyes and even wearing two different eye masks at night the air from the CPAP machine goes upward under the eye masks and dry out my eyes bad. That is until I started using these TheraTears liquid gel nighttime drops. I was previously just using the regular TheraTears extra dry eye drops. Which I highly recommend those for daytime use. I have tried so many stops. Even ones recommended by the eye doctor and they either burn or just don't work. TheraTears is better than anything recommended to me ever, and is totally with the value since you don't have to use as much because they really work. I was still having a bit of dry eyes in the morning using the regular drops so I thought I'd try these out and I'm so glad I did. I do wish they'd come in regular droppers instead of all the individual plastic waste. But as irritated as my eyes stayed before and burning and itching when I woke up, I have no choice. Now I wake up so relieved and my eyes are rarely hurting. They are easy to use and just make sure you don't plan to walk around for about five minutes after applying because the gel covers the eyes and makes things blurry. So I put them on right before I put on my CPAP mask and eye masks.
