Have you had the opportunity to try Optase? If so, what's your experience been? Do you use other products with hyaluronic acid in them? I'm curious to know if there's something else we should try out!

Just started Optase drops. First day did eye compress and wipes (different brand) and then optase hydrate drops. Worked great. Other days varied. Question: How many times a day can these drops be used? Can other lubricating drops between in between if eyes are burning? Suggestions?

For the past three years I have undergone 2 cataract surgeries and 4 Vitrectomy’s. Since 2021 I have been using Optase gel soap, wipes and now warm compress. My BLEPHARITIS has gotten worse over the past two years and I have been wearing a bandage contact lens on my right eye since May 2023. Many days very helpful other days it’s like starting all over again. It does work for me.

I got the entire 3 step, but I gotta say that the eye drops....those are the hardest eyedops to put in. They have this little tiny opening , hard to explain, but you have to put the entire top of the top of the bottle nearly touching your eyeball.

My eye surgeon wanted me to get restasis, but totally out of my reach. I am a senior on limited income. Glad I found you!!! Thanking you in advance Have a great day!

Here’s a video I did about my preferred nighttime dry eye routine: kzitem.info/news/bejne/uouA3XamjoJ1gag I hope that helps! Usually heat then cleanse then hydrate. That helps warm up the glands then you can use the wipe to cleanse and massage the lids and help move the blocked oil out. Then drops last. Restasis is great, but coverage can be tough. There is an out of pocket option that I may make a video on soon! Glad you found me too, thanks for watching!

Eye drop with Hyaluronic Acid vs sodium hyaluronate: What are the differnce? both to control the inflammation?
@EyeSchoolwithDrD
4 жыл бұрын
From my understanding, Hyaluron is the blanket term covering both Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium Hyaluronate. While these terms are often used interchangeably, Hyaluronic Acid is the Acid form and Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt form of the molecule. Optase Intense contains Sodium Hyaluronate. Most if not all the artificial tears on the US market containing Hyaluron contain the Sodium Hyaluronate form. Hyaluronic acid is a great moisturizing agent and lubricates the eye. Inflammation is a different ballgame, we used topical steroids and/or Dry Eye treatments like cyclosporine to treat inflammation.

Hello can you advise if Optase and Blink are similar? I was thinking of trying the Optase however I have tried Blink and it seemed to help for about 2-3 weeks then my eyes gotten worse with irritation and more redness. I have severe dry eyes due to having Graves disease many years ago and have tired lots of drops/treatments that have helped for a little while then stopped. I need to find a drop that will relieve dryness and redness. I need some sort of relief and warm compresses do not help it worsens my eyes. Please share your thoughts as I would greatly appreciate. Thank you

Please discuss & demonstrate how to use the Optease eye mask for the heat aspect of dry eye treatment eg. I just tried the eye mask for the 1st time, warming it 1st in microwave for 20 seconds. If my head is facing upwards, it's extremely hot on the eyes. I think maybe with head facing forward may be less intense, or do 15 seconds in microwave. The instructions say 30 seconds & my opthamologist said 20 seconds. Please share your thoughts on this.

I am going back to my Eye Institute tomorrow (Salus U) to see how my contacts are working. I'm wearing Cooper vision daily. Thanks in advance

Should we be concerned about the TROMETAMOL listed in the (inactive ingredients)...Isn't that an NSAID used as (Ketorolac) ophthalmic, and even in small concentrations in these drops, is it an issue for long term use? Does it systemically expose your eye to this anti-inflammatory? Or is it too small to be concerning.. How do we know how much of it is in the drop or what concentration? So far they feel great, I just started using them 4 days ago.... I've used everything in the market OTC... I use autologous serum 40%, and was on Regenereyes previously, I want to avoid Cequa, Restasis, Xiidra.. Optase has really helped with inflammation and my sensitivity to light from dry eye. I suffer severe chronic photosensitivity and trigeminal dysphoria from dry eye. What are your comments on this regarding TROMETAMOL in the ingredients.

Optase products may still be a great option for you (mask, drops, spray). The only thing you may want to avoid if you have a tee tree sensitivity is the lid scrub or eyelid cleansing gel. Eyes Are The Story may be something you want to check out in terms of an eyelid wipe/scrub/cleanser. Here is a video I did all about it: kzitem.info/news/bejne/zGye1oB5cZxqiG0 There's also a link in the description where you can purchase. I would recommend looking into the facial cleanser - it's wonderful! But the towelettes may work for you as well.

Question, I live in Minnesota and it’s super super cold and dry in the winter. Will this still absorb any moisture in the air? Do you think it would be okay to sprinkle a little water on it before or after I microwave it? Just to be sure it provides enough moisture to my eyes. I’ve been using Bausch + Lomb Thera Pearl Eye Mask for the last 4 months but it’s plastic and doesn’t provide any moisture to my eyes. It’s been working a little bit but not as well as I thought it would.

Optase TTO Lid wipes contain a lower concentration of TTO than Cliradex. While the concentration used is anti-microbial, it’s designed as an everyday cleanser that can be easily tolerated for long term use. Basically the company doesn't disclose the actual percentage but they tell you it's "less" than in Cliradex. And I can tell you it smells less strong than Cliradex and patients don't have as many issues with irritation as compared to higher % formulations.

Artificial tears are widely considered to be safe for use in pregnancy. Optase drops are preservative free. You can reduce systemic absorption by doing punctual occlusion right after inserting the drops (hold down on either side of your nose at the inner corner of your eyes where tears normally drain) for 60 seconds.
