5Unlike other lubricant eye drops which can evaporate quickly, Retaine MGD provides long- lasting relief utilizing a proprietary cationic oil emulsion technology that effectively delivers ingredients through electrostatic attraction between positively charged droplets and the negatively charged ocular surface. The hypotonicity of the emulsion adds moisture by lowering the salt concentration of tears while the lipid component lubricates and protects the surface of the eye.
Directions: Instill one drop in eyes as needed for relief of dry eye symptoms.
Each box contains 30 sterile, single-dose containers
Over-the-counter artificial tears are the mainstay of therapy for dry eye symptoms.
While most artificial tears are supplied in a bottles and contain salt water, Retaine MGD is a unique emulsion that includes a critical oil layer that supports the outer vapor barrier of the tear film so that tears do not evaporate as quickly.
Each box contains 30 individual dropperettes that are free of irritating chemical preservatives.

United StatesThey have helped my daughter's dry eyes, a huge blessing.
United StatesMy daughter says these are the only drops that help. Her eyes are very dry since her eye surgery
United StatesSuperior over any other eye drops I've used. A bit expensive, but my eyes are worth it!
United States United StatesMy ophthalmologist blocked my lower tear ducts to counteract dry eyes. Suggested eye drops. These are perfect with the emulsion added. Others are worthless. I only give it 4 stars because I haven't given it a chance, but it is very promising and my eyes don't bother me as much. A little expensive but since it's single use can rationalize it.

When do you use these drops in the morning or at night???
When do you use these drops in the morning or at night??? Most professionals recommend twice daily and as needed.
How do I decide between Retaine MGD and Optase eye drops?
Both eyedrops are excellent. Retaine MGD has a small amount of oil, which is wonderful for people with meibomian gland dysfunction and rapid tear evaporation. Optase drops offer the convenience of a bottle rather than individual dropperettes. Customers have told us that both drops are exceedingly comfortable when compared with dry eye drops that contain preservative. Both of these eyedrops are available from our dry eye remedy page.
