Packaged in 60 sterile single-use vials, these drops provide advanced hydration and protection, trusted by doctors for over 35 years and eligible for FSA/HSA coverage. ## Description Give your dry, burning, or irritated eyes REFRESH OPTIVE MEGA-3 Lubricant Eye Drops—a preservative-free formula that provides fast-acting, long-lasting relief with one drop, providing 10+ hours of dry eye relief (Results may vary. Data on file, AbbVie, Inc. REF-136415). These artificial tears soothe symptoms with advanced hydration that nourishes the eye’s surface and helps protect your natural tears from evaporating. Plus, this formula is enriched with the inactive ingredients flaxseed oil, which contains omega-3s, and trehalose, an antioxidant. It contains HydroCell technology, a solution containing glycerin, which enables hydration and maintains the volume of cells on the eye's surface, while active ingredient carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) provides lasting lubrication to dry eyes. Preservative-free and safe to use as often as needed, you can add REFRESH OPTIVE MEGA-3 to your morning or night routine to prevent further irritation. It comes in sterile single-use vials that are easy to use when you’re on the go. Just apply 1 to 2 drops in the affected eye(s) and experience the relief you’ve been searching for. REFRESH OPTIVE MEGA-3 is FSA and HSA eligible. Depending on your plan, you may be able to use your pre-tax dollars to cover this product as an out-of-pocket expense. Trust your dry eyes to REFRESH—the #1 doctor recommended artificial tears and preservative-free leader with more than 35 years of experience (Data on file, AbbVie, Inc. REF-113774). Review: Excellent Relief for Persistent Dry Eye - I’ve tried many different artificial tears over the years, but Refresh Optive MEGA-3 stands out as one of the most effective. The lipid-enhanced formula really does make a difference—my eyes feel comfortable much longer compared to regular watery drops. The consistency is smooth without being greasy, and the “low-blur” claim is true; vision clears quickly after applying. I also appreciate that these drops are preservative-free and come in convenient single-use vials. They’re especially helpful on days when my eyes feel extra dry from screen use or when I’m dealing with wind or air-conditioning irritation. The moisture lasts, and the soothing effect feels almost immediate. They are a bit pricier than standard artificial tears, but the effectiveness and comfort make them worth it for me. If you struggle with moderate to severe dry eye or want something that supports the tear film’s natural oils, these are absolutely worth trying. Review: Easy and convenient - Super helpful for seasonal allergies in keeping my eyes from drying. No preservatives is great and the instructions on how to use are helpful ## Features - FAST ACTING: Rapid relief to comfort dry, irritated eyes - LASTING RELIEF: One drop provides 10+ hours of dry eye relief (results may vary) (Data on file, AbbVie, Inc. REF-136415) - TRIPLE-ACTION FORMULA: Lubricates, hydrates, and protects tears from evaporating - PRESERVATIVE-FREE: Enhanced with antioxidants and plant-based flaxseed oil (inactive ingredients), which contains omega-3s - ADVANCED FORMULATION: Patented HydroCell technology is an NaCl-free solution containing glycerin, which hydrates by balancing osmolarity - ON-THE-GO VIALS: 60 sterile single-use vials per carton that are easy and safe to use as often as needed - RELIABLE PROTECTION: Active ingredients provide lasting lubrication for dry eyes ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B092G6QKNV | | ASIN | B092G6QKNV | | Active Ingredients | boric acid,castor oil,glycerin,hydrochloric acid,sodium hydroxide | | Additional Features | Clinically Proven | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Allergen Information | Preservative-Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #742 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #5 in Moisturizing Eye Drops | | Brand Name | Refresh | | Container Type | Vial | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (25,362) | | Date First Available | June 1, 2021 | | Dosage Form | Drops | | Flavor | Unflavored | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00300237151606 | | Item Dimensions | 4 x 3 x 4.75 inches | | Item Form | Drops | | Manufacturer | Allergan, Inc.

In the US, some eyedrop ingredients are considered as "active" based on FDA Monograph rules. Many useful and protective ingredients are included in eyedrops, but those not classified as "active" will be listed separately on the carton. **Q: are they preservative free** A: Yes they are preservative free, but that’s not necessarily a good thing. The manufacturer says you should only open a vial, use 1-2 drops per eye and then DISCARD the vial and all remaining lubricant. The reason is that because there is no preservative, any bacteria that gets into the opened vial will multiply like crazy and within a short period of time could become enough bacteria to create an eye infection after repeated use of a vial. These drops are far better than most others on the OTC market, but they are very expensive, especially if you need to use more than one vial a day for blepharitis, etc. At $24 a box (retail price) you are purchasing just 1/5 of an ounce (!) of lubricant in 30 delivery vials — that would be a bit more than a teaspoonful of lubricant total. **Q: Do these eyedrops have flaxseed oil?** A: Yes, but as the fifth Inactive Ingredients. Active Ingredients, eye lubricants, are carboxymethylcellulous sodium, glycerin and polysorbate. BF has severely dry eyes and so far Retaine MGD has proven to be her go to drops. Nano Tears work but are only single use. **Q: can they be used during the day, to drive, will they blur vision?** A: They do blur my vision for a few (2-3 ) minutes. I usually relax with my head tilted back to really get the benefit from the drop because the drop relieves the burning immediately to my irritated dry eye. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Relief for Persistent Dry Eye *by S***S on December 4, 2025* I’ve tried many different artificial tears over the years, but Refresh Optive MEGA-3 stands out as one of the most effective.

No preservatives is great and the instructions on how to use are helpful ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helped my stye in 24 hours! *by A***R on August 12, 2024* I had a VERY stubborn stye on my lower eyelid. I was using warm compresses, lid wipes and SteriLid (hypochlorus acid spray), but the biggest change happened when I started using these drops. My stye was gone after about 24 hours! Zero irritation. They feel like a nice cool, refreshing bath on my eye balls! The hydration and lubrication lasts for hours for me. I can feel a difference from the flaxseed oil that’s added. No stinging or burning! No post-application drip or watery eyes, either. I love the single use/individual vials. I’m able to put the plastic cap back on and save the remainder; I can get about 2-4 uses out of one vial (1 drop per eye). TIP: Store the box in the fridge! I learned this trick when I worked for an ophthalmologist. It feels even more relieving when they’re cold! UPDATE: well, my stye came back after a week. I wanted to update this so people didn’t think this is a guaranteed cure for styes! I went and got some antibiotics and RX drops, and the doc said I could continue to use these for lubrication. They def feel relieving! ## Frequently Bought Together - Refresh Optive MEGA-3 Lubricant Eye Drops Preservative-Free Artificial Tears, 0.01 fl oz (0.4 mL), 60 Single-Use Containers - OCuSOFT Lid Scrub PLUS 35 - Pre-Moistened Leave-On Eyelid Wipes for Moderate to Severe Conditions - Moisturizing Eyelid Cleanser for Maximum Relief - 35 Count --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/328021904-refresh-optive-mega-3-lubricant-eye-drops-preservative-free-artificial](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/328021904-refresh-optive-mega-3-lubricant-eye-drops-preservative-free-artificial) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
