Can I use this solution for keeping my eyes moistured?

First I am not an eye doctor. According to the bottle the Unisol 4 saline solution is for rinsing after cleaning and for heat disinfection of soft contact lenses. I don' t think you should put this directly in your eye. Try Refresh Optive lubricant eye drops. It works great.

Hello, I wear a PROSE (prosthetic rigid RX contact lens) due to chronic severe dry eye and this saline was recommended by my doctor at University MI Kellogg Eye Ctr. for my saline solution. It is not a dry eye drop, like Refresh drops. I wish you luck. �

Have used for occasional need to lubricate eyes while wearing contacts. I'm not sure about regular daily use.

depends on what your symptoms are, I have dry eye syndrome so I use preservative free eys drops during day and at night I use the ointment, better ck with your doctor

I wouldn't use it under your eyes---have never done it but would think it could be very drying in that area

Dry eyes is one reason I purchased it for my office at work. My eyes have been watering for several hours in the morning, which can be caused by dry air. I have only used this unit for one week so don't know the results yet, but it certainly can't hurt since it will add moisture to the air.

Yes it helps a lot in moisturisig the eyes. I am using it frequently and sometimes 2 to 3 times a day and has given much comfort without any side effects.

I've been using these for dry eyes, but even though the package says "steam", there's no moisture in the mask that I can see. My doctor recommended I use hot wet wash cloth, but I never seemed to find the time to do it. I use lubricating eye drops and put the mask on before going to sleep. It falls off during the night. I asked my eye doctor about it and he said if I used it it was better than not doing the other method. With the eye drops, there's moisture and it soothes my eyes. I like that it's virtually weightless. I wish they were less expensive since I use a couple of boxes each month. It probably would be best to take the mask off immediately after the heat stops so the paper doesn't dry my eyes, but this routine works for me.

Yes. I use it on on my under eyes, the corners, and eye lids daily with no ill effects. Keeps the eye regions comfortably moisturized quite well.

I purchased the Thermalon Dry Eye Compress and was disappointed with the product. It did not produce any moisture and actually made my eyes drier. I threw it away. I use a moistened hand towel, heated in the microwave for a few seconds and that works great for me.

Absolutely yes. I wear soft contacts. Two different ophthalmologists have stressed these are the only drops to use. Having no preservatives is the key.

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.

You may not be feeling the dry part YET! Did he do one of those stain tests on the lid and check your eye in the dark- they can tell if your eye is not keeping moisture in and actually becomes like dry skin on the rest of your body? If nothing else, they are finding out that the types of substances in these pills help keep eyes healthy as we age! I showed it to my eye Dr and he heartily approved of the substances in here! Good luck, and feel free to respond again if you want or need to.

Hello Rockstar, we appreciate you asking this question. The pads are intended to be used per the directions printed on the label, and detailed in the listing: "Wipe gently over face and neck area using circular motions and avoiding contact with eyes and lips. Do not rinse. Tighten cap on jar after use to prevent pads from dying out . Can be used twice daily." So if you are asking whether the active solution should be left on your face to dry without being removed, yes. If you are asking about actually finding some means to hold a pad in place over night, we would not recommend that to you. If you think about it further, if the pad was somehow atached to the face during sleep, it could perhaps get dislodged in some way, you would then have no control over wher it may end up. You would not want to wake up with the pad resting in your eye for example. Fondest regards, Cherie :)

It really helps with dry eyes. I don't wear contacts though. Don't know if the source of dry eyes is important.

Definitely. I use this at nite because my eyes dry as I sleep. You might want to try Gen Teal Gel Drops too. I use the drops in daytime when my eyes feel dry & scratchy. My eye dr recommended this product & it has worked better for me than any other drops. Hope it works well for you.

Hi G, My husband actually uses it as a rinse for his soft contacts but I have read other reviews on other websites reviews saying you can. Here is one such review: Best Price on the Internet!! 8/19/2013 Customer review by Chihuahuakook 5.0 stars by Chihuahuakook Because I wear Prosthetic Eye devices (PROSE contacts), this is the only preservative free Solution available. Unisol 4 is SO gentle and AMAZING, I love it. And Walmarts price is truly out of this world! I go through a bottle every three days, so you can imagine I need the best value. I use it for rinsing after cleansing my hard contacts. Then I use it again before inserting the lenses. I hope this helps you G.

I use this very very sparingly on my eye lid and don't get it too close to my lashes. I would be sure it gets absorbed into the skin and you should be OK.
