I've used these drops before on the advice of my optician, because they can be used with soft contact lenses. I f them to be long lasting and left my eyes feeling silky smooth if that makes sense. They seem to last much longer than standard eye drops.
I needed some quickly, so went to Amazon. Prime meant I got them next day, but unfortunately, like two other reviewers, the packaging on the bottom of the box was damaged and the security clear tape was broken.
They were despatched in an Amazon letter/book sending style cardboard envelope, so maybe they became squashed in there and perhaps that broke the seal somehow?
However, because there is no seal on the applicator, I have no way of knowing if these have been tampered with or used for three reasons:
1) When I shake the bottle, I can't hear or feel any contents sloshing about - which I could with the one bought from the optician after I'd used it a while (can't remember what it was like when first purchased)
2) It took several pumps to prime the applicator nozzle which to be fair, the Optician did for me previously, so I can't remember if it needs lots of pumps to get it going
3) There is a sticker with a barcode on the side of the box which bizarrely says:
Hycosan Extra
New
Why on earth would anyone sell eye drops that weren't new?
Hence two stars.
I'd welcome some comments from the seller or the manufacturer. In the meantime I am contacting Amazon.
