Note: Packaging changed in June 2024, and there was a minor change to an inactive ingredient.

This is an emulsion (milky-looking oil based drops) and is quite popular. This is not a drop that I have used personally so I can't share my experience with it. I am stocking it because of customer requests... I have quite a few customers for whom this is the drop that is the most comfortable and the longest lasting. 

Lipid-replenishing formula utilizes electrostatic attraction to stabilize the tear film and protect against moisture loss. Preservative-Free.

Good product and good vendor

Retaine effectively soothes the dry eyes I occasionally have since undergoing cataract surgery in 2023. That it is preservative-free is important to me, as is the opportunity to buy the product, which is not available in local stores, from an independent vendor who provides outstanding customer service. I also appreciate Rebecca's commitment to making sure her customers have the latest news and information about dry eye disease and the products her shop sells. Love the "west side" photos, too!

Very effective for my dry eyes!

I've been using Hylo Forte drops for daily dry eye relief. These are equivalent or better. And MUCH easier to manage than Hylo Forte when away from home. I have not found another "vial" option that works for me. I will definitely be using more of these!

Thick and soothing

These drops are really nice. I replaced these over GenTeal Gel for nighttime care, and I like how less greasy and heavy they make my eyes feel.
