Millions of Americans suffer from dry eyes. Dry eyes commonly result from not enough tears being produced or tears that dry up too quickly, resulting in dryness and irritation. Luckily, Refresh Tears Lubricant Eye Drops are at the ready with fast-acting relief to soothe dry eye symptoms. Designed to act like your own tears, these artificial tears instantly lubricate and moisturize to temporarily relieve mild and occasional dry, burning, irritated, and uncomfortable eyes. This original-strength formula is safe to use as often as needed and features a gentle preservative, Purite, that breaks down into natural tear components—like oxygen, water and sodium and chloride ions— when applied to the eye. To use Refresh Tears Lubricant Eye Drops: 1. Tilt your head back and look up. 2. Pull your lower eyelid down away from your eyeball to create a “pocket” for the drops. 3. Hold the bottle upside down with the tip just above the pocket. 4. Gently squeeze the bottle and let the eye drop fall into the pocket. Refresh Tears is FSA and HSA eligible. Depending on your plan, you may be able to use your pre-tax dollars to cover this product as an out-of-pocket expense.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Refresh Tears help me get through an 8-hour screen day without eye strain distraction?
Many office professionals use Refresh Tears proactively during the workday to combat screen-related dryness. Applying drops before long meetings or focused work blocks helps maintain comfort and reduces the urge to rub irritated eyes.
Can I keep a bottle at my desk and use it without disrupting my workflow?
Yes. The 30 mL bottle is compact enough for a desk drawer or monitor shelf, and the original-strength formula applies quickly without blurring vision, so you can return to work almost immediately.
Does Refresh Tears help with computer eye strain specifically?
Refresh Tears does not treat the cause of digital eye strain, but it relieves one of the most common symptoms: dry, irritated eyes from reduced blink rate during screen use. Pairing drops with the 20-20-20 rule maximizes productivity benefits.
Will the drops blur my vision after applying them during work?
Refresh Tears is designed to spread evenly and clear quickly. Most users experience only momentary blurriness that resolves within seconds, making it practical for use between tasks.
Is Refresh Tears a good fit for someone working from home all day?
Absolutely. Home office workers often report more eye strain because of longer continuous screen time and less varied lighting. Keeping a bottle at the workstation is a simple habit that supports sustained focus.
Can Refresh Tears help me stay focused during long study sessions?
Yes. Students and lifelong learners often experience dryness that breaks concentration. A quick application of Refresh Tears restores comfort so you can return to reading, writing, or screen-based learning.
Is this drop compatible with my contact lenses during a full workday?
Refresh Tears is contact-lens compatible, so you can apply it without removing your lenses. This makes it ideal for professionals who wear contacts from morning until evening and need occasional re-lubrication.
Should I choose the 2-count pack for a busy work environment?
The 2-count pack offers better value per bottle and ensures you always have a backup. Many professionals keep one bottle at the office and one at home to avoid running out midweek.
How does Refresh Tears compare to a humidifier for office eye dryness?
A humidifier addresses ambient moisture while Refresh Tears directly hydrates the eye surface. They work well together, but drops provide immediate relief while a humidifier's effect is more gradual and environmental.
Is Refresh Tears better than blue light glasses for screen-related eye strain?
They address different issues. Blue light glasses may reduce certain visual fatigue cues, while Refresh Tears directly treat the dryness caused by reduced blink rate. Many heavy screen users benefit from using both.
I don't want to apply eye drops during a meeting — is there a less disruptive option?
Refreshing your eyes during a brief break, before a meeting, or after a call is generally unobtrusive. The original-strength formula is fast-acting and clears quickly, so it is one of the least disruptive comfort options available.
Will I become dependent on eye drops if I use them at work every day?
Refresh Tears is not a medicated drop and does not create dependency. It simply supplements your natural tears, so daily use is safe and can be tapered if your underlying dryness improves.
Is the cost of a 2-pack justified for someone who uses drops daily at work?
For daily users, the multi-pack reduces cost per bottle and ensures uninterrupted supply. Compared to a single bottle purchased more frequently, the 2-pack is more economical and convenient for routine workplace use.
How do I apply Refresh Tears correctly?
Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket, and squeeze one or two drops into the eye without touching the dropper tip. Blink a few times to spread the drops, then recap the bottle immediately.
How many times a day can I safely use Refresh Tears?
Refresh Tears can be used as often as needed throughout the day. Users who apply drops more than four times daily may prefer the preservative-free single-use variant to minimize preservative exposure.
How should I store Refresh Tears?
Store at room temperature, away from excessive heat and direct sunlight. Do not freeze the product, and keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Discard the bottle according to the expiration date on the packaging.
Is Refresh Tears compatible with contact lenses?
Yes. The original formula is contact-lens compatible, so you can apply it without removing your lenses, making it convenient for all-day lens wearers.
Is Refresh Tears compatible with makeup and other eye products?
Yes. You can use Refresh Tears alongside makeup, eye creams, and other cosmetics. Apply drops before eye makeup or after removing it for best results, and wait a few minutes between drops and other topical eye products.
What comes in the box when I order Refresh Tears?
Each order includes the selected number of 30 mL bottles (Pack of 1 or Pack of 2). Preservative-free variants come in boxes of single-use vials. Instructions for use are printed on the carton and bottle label.
Is Refresh Tears safe to use every day long-term?
Yes. Refresh Tears is designed for daily use, with a long safety record spanning more than 35 years. The original formula with Purite preservative is gentle enough for routine application, and the preservative-free option is available for long-term frequent users.
Can Refresh Tears be used by children or only adults?
Refresh Tears is generally formulated for adult use. For children, consult a pediatrician or eye care professional to confirm the appropriate product and dosage.
What is the difference between Refresh Tears and other artificial tear brands?
Refresh Tears uses carboxymethylcellulose sodium 0.5% as its active lubricant and Purite as a preservative that breaks down into natural tear components. Many competing drops use harsher preservatives like BAK. Refresh is also the #1 doctor-recommended brand with a 35-year track record.
