If you’re looking for affordable over-the-counter eye drops for your dry eyes, then Eye Mo Moisturizing Eye Drops is a good choice.

It contains 3mg of hypromellose, which reduces dryness in the eyes and gives a moisturizing feeling once applied. We think this is a good fit for those who are casual gadget users that have extended screen time.

We like that it is affordable and costs less than Php 100, ideal for students who are typically on a tight budget.

Based on our assessment, these eye drops can last for weeks of continuous use. This makes it a good choice for individuals on a tight budget.

We also recommend this for people who travel and commute a lot. This is because it can be used as instant relief for your tired and dirty eyes. 

Aside from that, you can cleanse your eyes of grit and filth with this when you’re out of clean water.

We noticed, however, that it doesn’t have many active ingredients that address other problems like eye swelling and soreness.

Nevertheless, it’s still a good product since it has tetrahydrozoline. This can help treat mild eye irritations that produce redness (such as smog, swimming, dust, or smoke).

Overall, Eye Mo Moisturizing Eye Drops remain an effective option for people who frequently find themselves in front of the screen, or in smoky or polluted situations.

If you prefer eye drops with a herbal formulation, then Himalaya Ophthacare Eye Drops is your best bet.

We admire that among the eye drops on this list, this one uses an ayurvedic formulation. This means that it makes use of plants and traditional medicines in addressing some modern eye concerns.

Aside from addressing dry eyes and eye constraints, we were surprised to learn that it also works great in treating a variety of ophthalmic conditions. This includes relief for conjunctival xerosis and other infectious eye conditions.

We commend the formulation even more since there are scientific studies that used this in the treatment of degenerative disorders. And in those studies, Himalaya Ophthacare Eye Drops showed satisfactory results similar to our experience.

Upon application, it gives a cooling sensation to the eyes – just enough to provide relief instead of irritation. This makes for a great refresher for eyes strained by continuous electronic device use. 

However, we noticed that these eye drops can trigger irritation for some because of their active ingredients. Therefore, for first-timers, we recommend using this after conducting a patch test on your skin.

This item on the list also has the shortest shelf life and is only usable for a month after being opened. So we don’t recommend this for people who don’t frequently use eye drops.

Overall, we recommend Himalaya Ophthacare Eye Drops because it is quite exceptional for 10mL eye drops, thanks to their range of therapeutic ingredients.

Alcon Systane Ultra Lubricant Eye Drops is another eye drops with simple but effective formulation. Thanks to its ingredients, it’s perfect for dry eyes caused by contact lens use.

Upon trying it, we were amazed that the product has a long-lasting soothing effect on the eyes for more or less 5 hours. After use, our eyes also felt properly moisturized, proving that it is an excellent lubricant.

Alcon Systane Ultra Lubricant Eye Drops also have a prescribed shelf life after opening which is 6 months. This is fit for casual users who don’t apply their eye drops daily because other eye drops in the market have a shorter shelf life. 

We like that it also has a preservative-free formula for those that have sensitive eyes. With that variation, the eye drops come in small vials that can only be used for up to 12 hours to avoid contamination.

Users of contact lenses should definitely try this out, but it’s not a suitable replacement for contact lens solutions. Alcon Systane Ultra Lubricant Eye Drops can only be used before and after wearing contact lenses.

Overall, we’re satisfied by the performance of these eye drops. So, if you want long-lasting dry eye relief and don’t mind paying for more with a small amount of product, then these eye drops are fit for you.

If you’re looking for budget-friendly eye drops, the TGP Eyglo Moist Eye Drops is for you. 

Compared to other eye drops for dry eyes, we found TGP Eyglo Moist Eye Drops quite superior. This is because it can be used for different purposes aside from moisturizing dry eyes. 

We were happy to learn that we can substitute rewetting eye drops that are specifically designed for contact lenses with this. Upon use, it doesn’t obstruct vision or “gum up” the contacts.

It’s also a plus that it only costs Php 87. This makes it an ideal option for people who wear contact lenses and don’t have a lot of money to spend on rewetting eye drops.

We also discovered that it’s moisturizing, thanks to hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. It also offers immediate relief for irritated eyes despite having fewer active ingredients compared to other eye drops on this list.

We like that it can even cure red eyes within days of continuous use. 

The simple formulation of these eye drops also makes them gentle. This means that these will not cause irritation even for people with sensitive eyes.

However, since these eye drops are a product of The Generics Pharmacy (TGP), it’s not often seen on other drug stores’ shelves. So if you don’t have a TGP branch near you, you’re most likely limited to ordering online.

Overall, we recommend TGP Eyglo Moist Eye Drops because it has a cheap price tag. At the same time, we’re impressed that it’s comparable with more expensive eye drops thanks to its effectiveness.

ROHTO 40α Eye Drops is a Japan-made eye drops infused with different nourishing ingredients. This includes vitamin E, vitamin B6, sodium chondroitin sulfate ester, and potassium L- aspartic acid.

We like that it gives extra benefits for its users than just relieving dry eyes. Since it has vitamins E and B6, it can help lessen age-related macular degeneration.

We also admire that these eye drops have two variations for their line. It has ROHTO Cool 40α Eye Drops and ROHTO Vita 40α Eye Drops.

The only difference between the two is the effect they have upon application. Both have a stinging sensation upon first application but the Vita version is milder as it has less menthol in its formulation.

Upon application, we noticed that it gives a moisturizing effect that lasts up to 8 hours, which is great.

For us, these are the best eye drops for those who work night shifts because it has cooling effects that are stimulating for the eyes. 

Though ROHTO 40α Eye Drop is quite pricey, we still think it’s worth a try because it gives promising results for dry eyes and other eye conditions.
