Artelac Allergy Eye Drops, Protect, Protection Against Allergens and Reduces Eye Inflammation and Irritation, Preservative Free, Contact Lens Friendly, 10ml

I bought these for moderate dry eyes that are sometimes aggravated by allergies. My usual ones were out of stock so I thought I'd give these a go. As eye drops they do the job well, are good at soothing and lubricating my eyes and I have no complaints about them at all. What I have to highlight is the awesome dispenser on the bottle! When I first got them I wasn't entirely sure how to use it as I'd never seen anything like it - I'd always had bottles that you either have to squeeze firmly or some kind of thing at the top that you press in that works half the time but also gets stuck. This has a dispenser that is super easy to use and lets you hold the bottle really steady to get the drops out in a controlled way. You also need very little pressure to make it work perfectly every time. This made it really easy to use exactly the right dose. If you have ever struggled with annoying bottles where you either can't get it out or end up with lots of extra drops, then this is the one for you! I will probably buy this product again now over my regular brand due to the dispenser.

These drops should last 6 months when opened. I purchased them in December 2024 & they are use by April 2025. However they have worked better than other eye drops to soothe itchy, sore & runny eyes caused by histamine intolerance.

Works well

Been amazing soothing my endless itching eyes. Used every day, sometimes more than once for a couple of weeks. Now only used when required. Will be stocking up on these for my allergies.

Not easy to use, I wish I’d gone for a normal bottle - I end up squirting half the bottle each time. The drops in themselves are soothing.

The eye drops (both Protect and Night) have been working great for me, what initially influenced my choice besides customers' input was: no preservative and are good for 6 months after first use. I haven't regretted purchasing those which I have been using for the past couple of years. The applicator may (has for some) be a bit awkward to get used to at first but once you get the hang of it, you should be good to go from then on. There is however an issue with some batches expiry dates, and I've had the exact same problem than the 2 previous reviewers prior to me, and the picture in one shows the exact same batch number and expiry date I've received today, and the second actually name the seller which I've realised when looking at my order, is the exact same one I purchased if from, though fulfilled by Amazon. That was my mistake when ordering since I did not pay attention and ended up with a product from an another seller rather than Amazon directly. Mistake learned. Issue reported and as Amazon is looking to it, but word to the wise: you want to purchase it directly from Amazon as, since I was told they have a strict policy regarding expiry dates, you are less likely to end up with this type of issue. It would be a shame people be put off by this issue, and so given the pattern here with expiry, best to stick getting them directly from Amazon, not to say it can never happen but less likely to with products with a limited shelf life. Update October 24 22: oh the irony, the drops I've received today and which I've made sure were sold by Amazon directly have an expiry date of 03/23. So that's 2 months less use as, given there are no preservatives, you do not want to take the chance to put those drops in your eyes beyond the expiry date, even if there is generally a small widow of the product perhaps still be OK to use.

This dispenser works but I still have the fear that I'll poke myself in the eye because of the shape and the method of releasing the drops. The daytime ones are better, in my experience, than the nighttime ones. These clear more quickly and don't leave my eyes blurry or sticky which the nighttime ones do.

really impressed with these drops, also cheaper than Hycosan, I will definitely re-purchase
