Oasis Tears and Oasis Tears Plus are excellent preservative free "high-end" drops with sodium hyaluronate. Oasis Tears Plus has been one of the most popular drops for severe dry eye symptoms for a very long time. As best I understand, it is still the drop with the highest concentration of sodium hyaluronate of any other on the US market.
So, this particular product is OTP in a bottle.
I am SO pleased that they have been able to bring it out in a multi-dose bottle. "MDPF" (multi-dose preservative-free) packaging is the latest trend amongst manufacturers in the US... it took them a long time, and Oasis was, if memory serves, the very earliest to adopt it.
MDPF bottles are not everyone's fancy. Anyone used to a conventional bottle will find it harder to use. For most people it's just a matter of learning the tricks and getting used to it, but arthritis can certainly make it harder.
I would recommend this product for anyone who currently uses the Oasis Tears Plus vials but wants a more economical and/or more planet-friendly option.
For those to whom it matters, the sodium hyaluronate in Oasis Tears and Oasis Tears Plus is plant-based.
[Note: This is a general description for both Oasis Tears and Oasis Tears Plus.]
Oasis TEARS PF® Preservative Free Lubricant Eye Drops lubricate, moisten, and relieve symptoms of dry eye disease. Symptoms can range from irritation, dryness, burning, gritty (foreign body sensation), and may have other underlying causes.
Ask your eye doctor if your symptoms might be related to dry eye disease and which Oasis TEARS Lubricant drop is best for your symptoms.
Oasis TEARS Lubricant Eye Drops coat, lubricate, and moisten delicate eye tissue. 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. This unique combination coats and recoats the surface of the eye for continued relief of dry, irritated eyes. Use Oasis TEARS to relieve dry eye symptoms, such as:
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.
Glycerin (0.25%) (Lubricant Eye Drops)
If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.
Instill 1 or 2 drops in the affected eye(s) as needed.

These drops are very soothing. Use RX allergy drops which I use first then follow 10 minutes later Oasis followed 10 minutes later by Lumify so I am not walking around looking like I have been drinking all day!

I rely on my ASEDs, which are essential for me! But I need to use them every hour, sometimes twice in an hour, -- so if I am taking a walk or going to a medical appt etc. I have been using the Oasis Tears Plus vials because they don't require refrigeration. I do have a small insulin carrying case that I bought to keep the ASEDs cold (might be a good idea for you if you use ASEDs frequently), but it is the size of a big wallet and sometimes just a little vial or bottle is much easier.
Now I will change to this multi-dose version of Oasis because I definitely like having a dispenser which is both more economical AND more planet-friendly.
BTW, if you are allergic to carboxymethylcellulose as I am, Oasis is a great option!
Only 4 stars because although the drops are good, as someone else mentioned if you have arthritis in your hands this bottle can be a bit of a challenge. And also because my eyes are pretty blurry for several minutes after using Oasis because of the glycerin -- so I can't use it at a stoplight when driving.
