Refresh is the eye care line from AbbVie, and it has been sold in the United States for more than thirty years. The range is built around lubricant eye drops in two broad formats: preservative free single use vials, and bottles you keep and use repeatedly.
This page carries the Refresh drops we stock, including Refresh Optive Mega-3 in single use vials and Refresh Optive Advanced in a 10 mL bottle. Optive Mega-3 is a lipid enhanced formula, meaning it carries an oil component alongside the water based ingredients. Optive Advanced is the bottle format, for people who would rather keep one container than a strip of vials.
Format is usually the deciding factor. Single use vials hold no preservative and are opened fresh each time, which suits people who reach for drops often or who react to preservatives. A bottle is less packaging, easier to carry, and goes further per purchase. If you wear contact lenses, read the carton, since only some formulas in the range are labeled for use with lenses in.
Cost per use is worth working out rather than comparing sticker prices, because a 60 count box of vials and a 10 mL bottle are not the same quantity of product. Your eye care professional can tell you which format fits the routine you are following.
