"Many years ago I found an eye fluid with Povidone in it for my severe dry eye. They stopped selling it . Over the course of several years I tried six different drops. None of which had Povidone. My dry eye is only in one eye where I had laser for a torn retina. If I don't use drops during the night my eye dries out and I end up with double and blurred vision in the morning which can last one or two days. Several months ago my eye dr. suggested Fresh Kote. When I checked and found it had Povidone in it I tried it even though it was $44/bottle. I have not had a dry eye morning condition since. Even at that price it is worth it."

"I have used many many eye drops for dry eye. All need to be preservative free. Recently my eye specialists recommended Freshkote. It is a game changer for me. Yes there is a sting for a bit at first. I have no problem with the bottle design. I believe you can purchase individual package of vials. Some say to give this product a fair chance. I have been using it for two weeks and really like it. Fingers crossed."

"This is the second time this summer that a bottle of Freshkote has stopped working. That is $80.00 just thrown out the window.. very disappointing as this is the only drops that work for my dry eyes. Can’t afford this though!"

"This product works better than most drops I have used to help relieve dry eye symptoms, however it burns when I first apply the drops. The burning last about 5-10 seconds."

"The product Freshkote has helped but after one day of use, the dispenser stopped working. No liquid comes out. So I have to give it a 0 rating for not even being able to use it."

"I have severe dry eyes due to radiation of the left eye. This is the ONLY eye drops that has really helped. I usually use them twice a day. If I do not my eyes are very irritated. I am very disappointed because pharmacy I use has discontinued stocking them because of the cost. Many of my friends have changed to Freshkote, they are worth the extra cost. My sight is worth the cost."
