For Dry Eye Disease "I didn't connect it to the drops, but I have had burning, redness, blurred vision, and floaters since I started using Systane Ultra. I got a new prescription for glasses as I thought my eyesight had changed. I will stop using it today. I have been using this product for the last 6 months, so hope no permanent damage has been done. Avoid. MHRA should also look into the product."

"Bought this because the eye Dr. recommended it, and since I started using it, my eye is worse than ever... watering nonstop, puffy, redness, and blurry vision. Today is so bad I can't even see clearly to drive! I work in the medical field, and I will be telling everyone I can!!!"

"I purchased Systane Ultra by Alcon a couple of days ago. It did not help my dry and red eyes. It made my eyes itch worse than ever, they were really red too. It might have something to do with the preservative used, I don't know for sure. I went back to using Oculac by Alcon instead, it seems it has the same manufacturer, but it is cheaper and a little thinner."

"Ophthalmologist stated that my mother's vision was good for her age; she prescribed this medicine for dry eyes (she never complained about her eyes), but I went along with what the doctor said. After a few weeks, now it's been about two years. Into that time frame, and henceforth I noticed the redness and creamy-like substance in the eye. I thought it was normal; the nurse used to say pink eye. I said, are you sure the tip is not touching her iris, making her eye red? To this day, it still does the same thing; I have yet to relay to the doctor. I just thought when she does her eye exam, she would notice. So I too now believe there are side effects with use and prolonged use. I will let you know."

For Eye Redness "Spent over 2 years trying to find eye drops that I did not have a negative reaction to, and at last, these drops did the job without pain or redness."
