Oasis Tears Plus (30 PF vials)
About Oasis Tears Plus
- Glycerin based drop with sodium hyaluronate
- Box of 30 preservative free vials
- Not sold in drugstores
Description (by Rebecca)
Excellent preservative free "high-end" drop with sodium hyaluronate.
As you'll have noticed, we do not stock most artificial tears at the DryEyeShop. That is something we're happy to leave to the drugstores. However, we make exceptions from time to time and those exceptions are almost always products that are not readily available in drugstores and which our customers are asking us to stock so that they can get them more easily, combine shipping with other items they are ordering, etc.
Oasis is one of those exceptions. I have a lot of respect for the Oasis product line based on user feedback over the years, but am particularly fond of the Plus version, as it was the first one that I ever felt, based on feedback, was really doing very well for people with things like recurrent corneal erosions and very severe symptoms. Definitely worth a try. I always tend to discourage people from thinking that trying one more drop will solve their problems - dry eye is almost always more complicated than that - so any advice or suggestions need to be taken in context.
People sometimes find the labeling confusing. The technical difference between the two drops is that Oasis Tears has 0.15% concentration of high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate and Tears Plus has 0.3% concentration.
Incidentally, for those to whom it matters, the sodium hyaluronate in Oasis Tears and Oasis Tears Plus is plant-based.
Suggested best uses
- Anecdotally, this is most popular with people who have severe symptoms and/or RCE.
- Also recommended for people who want a drop with sodium hyaluronate, which is not available in very many eyedrops in the US at this time.
Alternatives to consider
Freshkote. I am a diehard Dr. Holly's drop fan, and Freshkote is the last of those. Rumor has it they are releasing a preservative free version at last, sometime soon.

With each blink of your eye, a special substance in Oasis TEARS combines with the active ingredient, glycerin, to keep tears on the eye surface for a long time.

Oasis TEARS and Oasis TEARS PLUS Are Preservative Free
Nonpreserved artificial tears have an extra advantage over preserved ones. They may be the best choice for patients immediately following eye surgery (such as LASIK), because they are more comfortable to use, due to differences in the thickness and improved compatibility with the eye’s tissues. Preservative-free Oasis TEARS and Oasis TEARS PLUS eliminate the source of toxic irritation caused by preservatives.
