These artificial tears soothe symptoms with advanced hydration that nourishes the eye’s surface to help protect your natural tears from evaporating. Plus, this triple-action formula is specially crafted with HydroCell technology and enhanced with plant-based oils, like Flaxseed Oil, and antioxidants, like Trehalose (inactive ingredients). It’s designed to lock in moisture and prevent further irritation so you can enjoy MEGA relief that lasts. Preservative-free and safe to use as often as needed, 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) as needed and experience the moisture-rich 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 preservative-free brand with more than 35 years of experience. (Data on file, Abbvie, Inc. REF113774) Review: 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: 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! ## Features - FAST-ACTING: Rapid relief to comfort dry, irritated eyes - LASTING RELIEF: Soothes and prevents further irritation - 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 HYDRATION: Innovated with patented HydroCell technology that enables rehydration - ON-THE-GO VIALS: 30 sterile single-use vials per carton that are easy and safe to use as often as needed - TRUSTED: From the #1 doctor-recommended preservative-free brand with over 35 years of experience (Data on file, AbbVie, 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***S on 4 December 2025* I’ve tried many different artificial tears over the years, but Refresh Optive MEGA-3 stands out as one of the most effective.

The drops are comfortable to use and are not thick and greasy like other dry eye drops we’ve used in the past. And they’re very effective. ## Frequently Bought Together - Refresh Optive MEGA-3 Lubricant Eye Drops Preservative-Free Artificial Tears, 0.01 fl oz (0.4 mL), 30 Single-Use Containers - Refresh Celluvisc Lubricant Eye Gel Drops, Single-Use Containers, 30 Count (Pack of 1) - Systane Nighttime Lubricant Eye Ointment 3.5g Tube --- ## 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.co.uk/products/253309574-refresh-optive-mega-3-lubricant-eye-drops-preservative-free-0](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/253309574-refresh-optive-mega-3-lubricant-eye-drops-preservative-free-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
