"After using Systane, my eyes have been hyper-sensitive to light, itchy, angry, and red. They are also crusted shut when I wake in the morning. Systane is one product to never, ever buy."

"My doctor prescribed Systane for dry eye disease. Made my eyes burn badly, eye pain, and sticky watering eyes. He then prescribed Restasis, and it has worked wonders. Highly recommend Restasis."

"It made my eyes better for the initial 3 days, and then it made them horrible. I feel I have thorns in my eyes. This is the worst medicine. I have vision problems now."

"I used this as ordered by my eye doctor. A few weeks later, I noticed eye pain, swelling, matted eyelashes, blurred vision, and foggy vision. It took weeks of going off the drops to correct my vision."

"The product itself works fine, but the new dispenser that came out in December 2022, with the flatter top, is awful. It dispenses way too much liquid and ends up all over your face."

"Only used Systane Complete once, stung then burned. I’m left with sticky feeling eyes that are more irritated than before. I do not recommend using this at all."

"Twice now I have had a burst blood vessel in the same eye. Have used Systane for a few years, one ampule, and not every night. Seems to work well other than this problem now. Could be sinus related."

"I found Systane eye drops to be useless. I used them for a pretty long time, they made no good effects at all. Its prices are increasing with no efficacy. Waste of money."
