I’m pretty sure I can add Rohto Eye Drops to my list of vices. Let’s go down the list of what I subject my eyes to on a daily basis, shall we?
- Contact lenses (14-20 hours per day)
- 6-10+ hours of computer work
- Lots of reading up on and designing of baby shower invitations and other baby products
- Air conditioners (in the summer)
- Forced air (in the winter)
- Ceiling fans (one in the living room and in each bedroom)
- And now that it’s summer, chlorinated water 2-3 times per week
Needless to say, strained, dry, irritated and itchy eyes are fairly commonplace for me. I tend to worsen things by not always taking my makeup off, so I wake up the morning with colorful, glittery wads of shadow, mascara and eyeliner often in my eye. And on my tired mornings (which I have an awful lot of these days), it isn’t uncommon for me to wind up getting facial cleanser and makeup remover in my eyes.
Bottom line? My eyes are subjected to a lot. And when they get dry and irritated, they drive me nuts. So for the past few weeks, in the mornings before I put my contacts in, and again in the evenings after I have taken my contacts out, I have been reaching for Rohto Eye Drops. The company sent me all four varieties, with each variety doing something a little different, although all four have a unique cooling sensation to soothe eyes, and all provide generous lubrication for eyes.
- Hydra for general irritation relief
- Artic for eye strain
- Cool for redness relief
- Ice for the relief of burning, irritation, and itching
These eye drops ROCK. I have been using all four varieties, and all four do a great job of alleviating dryness, irritation, itching, burning, and general eye strain and irritation — two things that I unfortunately experience often. And the relief isn’t just short-term, as it often is with generic eye drops or rewetting drops. The relief and lubrication lasts for several hours. The bottles may look small, but you only need 1-2 drops at a time, so each bottle will last quite a while. One thing worth noting is that the cooling sensation, particularly in Artic and Ice, is quite strong — almost to the point of burning. The good news is that the cooling/burning sensation triggers a flood of tears, for me anyway, so there’s no more dry eyes to deal with!
You can pick up bottles of Rohto Eye Drops from any pharmacy or major retailer. Psst… you can purchase a 3-pack that contains two bottles of Cool and 1 bottle of Hydra for just $20 + $3 S&H! Get the deal here!
