"Two weeks after eye surgery (cataract)I went in to see my eye doctor. My vision was great. He said my eye looked wonderful and was now completely healed. I was delighted! Then he gave me these Refresh Optive Mega-3 eyedrops to use. I told him I finished the other eye drops and didn't want anymore due to the filmy cloudless they caused but he insisted I use them. So I go home and put one drop into my eye and oh, was that a HUGE MISTAKE. My eye turned red, swelled up, and it felt like someone had punched me in the eye. Watering, burning and PAIN! I returned to his office and he told me to go home and hold an ice bag on my eye for 15 minutes at a time. It's been six hours and still no relief. BEWARE OF THIS PRODUCT!"

"I'm using Refresh Optive Mega 3 with Flaxseed and it helps immensely. So far, I haven't had any side effects. I was diagnosed with macular degeneration and dry eyes on Sept. 24, 2019 and have been using Refresh since that time."

"These are the best eye drops that I have used out of the many that I have tried. I think that there is more lubrication in these eye drops than in other brands that I have tried. I am using preservative-free eye drops. I have experienced burning and itching when I use any brand of eye drops that contains a preservative."

"I’ve been using Refresh Mega-3 and I felt relief at first. Then within an hour or less, the stinging begins, itching and stinging. I want to rub my eyes so badly to stop the burn! This too was recommended by my doctor with a coupon. Im going to stop using it! Going to buy another brand because I do need the eye drops because of dry eye."
