What is the difference between the Systane Gel Drops and the Systane Gel Overnight Therapy?

Systane Gel Overnight is meant only for overnight eye lubrication. The Systane Gel drops are for use all day. See http://www.systane.com/

The gel keeps the eyes hydrated at night which leads to eyes which do not have pain in the morning. Hence you have a good start to the day. But no other effect since you usually put day drops during the day which washes out the film that the gel leaves.

I use the gel drops primarily at night.....the gel blurs my vision for a few minutes immediately after use. It is OK to use them in the morning, as well, though. (I do on occasion if my eyes are really dry and scratchy when I get out of bed, but I don't plan on reading or driving for about 10-15 minutes after use.

No, you will find that preservative free products are packaged in small, individual use plastic vials. SYSTANE® Preservative-Free Formula, an offering by the same maker is, as the name says preservative free and it does come packaged in the small vials. Opening the container of the drops gives a way bacteria to enter, so in my experience if the product comes in a container that is resealable, it has preservatives.

A Systane bottle containing MORE than one dose in it has "POLYQUAD (polyquaternium-1) 0.001%" as a preservative. (With any medication, all multi-dose eye drop bottles contain preservatives.) The single use Sustame vials are preservative free. However, even though I usually have a sensitivity to eye drop preservatives, I can use the multi-dose bottle of Systane drops without any trouble. I did an experiment where I used drops from a Systane multi-dose bottle in one eye and drops from a Systane single dose vial in the other eye. After 2 weeks, there was no difference in my eyes!

There is no difference I can see in the 2, all I know is they help me sleep. There are always different prices for same product online, that I have noticed since I started shopping online. It can be same seller or a different seller and more than one different price. If you're looking to sleep, this product works. That's all I can tell you. Have a good evening.

I believe they are exactly the same thing. After I tried Sleep I found the NM Melatonin w/ L-theanine. Works exactly the same for me but much cheaper.

There are similar and different ingredients in them. Both are effective in moisturizing. I've noticed that the night cream seems thinner in it's consistency and spreads easier. I use the night cream during the day also because I also put a moisturizer with sunscreen over it. I like both day and night creams and will buy both when I can afford it.

I am sorry I never used the light defining gel not sure what the difference is. Hope it works out for you

The day cream feels lighter ... not as rich in oils. The night cream, while not heavy, is richer than the day cream. In the winter, I use the night cream for both night and day protection. I live in the deep south and in the summer the day cream is light enough to wear in high humidity.

I don't know the difference but have been using the tri-core for over a year and it has really helped in reducing shoulder pain while sleeping.

I switched to Systane Healthy Tears and found that it works better for me and is much cheaper. Sorry, I don't remember what is in it but the Systane has Vitamin E and Omega 3 which are what is needed for dry eyes.

My eye doctor prescribed Sustane Lubricant Eye Drops also. She gave me a trial size to use. I have a dry-eye problem at night. At least once every night, I must use some kind of drops. My choice of drops is Refresh Tears Lubricant (not the gel). No other product has been as helpful. I'm not sure why doctors recommend Sustane over the Refresh product. I hope this help you with an annoying problem.

I have been using the Systane eye drops for about 5 years now. My eye doctor had suggested them-- I have habitually dry eyes, and they work really well for me. They don't contain drying agents like a lot of eye drops do.

I'm no expert but it seems to me that night cream is just a moisturizer, whereas the eye repair cream actually targets the wrinkles around the eye. I noticed that after using the TNS cream, the fine lines at the corners of my eyes diminished quite a bit. Hope this helps.

John, I have been taking these along with Thera Tears Liquid Gel drops at bedtime, for over two years, I honestly don't remember when I started feeling the benefits, but it wasn't too long,(the drops almost immediately). Good Luck to you. Jean
