Thera Tears Lubricant Eye Drops and Lubricant Eye Gel

Unfortunately there is a worldwide shortage of Theratears until early 2018 but this date could change again.

We recommend Thera Tears lubricant eye drops and gel to many patients because in our opinion and experience they provided the best relief of many dry eye conditions as well as being an excellent fluid for insertion of contact lenses.

• There is no eye drop or gel on the market that is an exact replacement for the Thera Tears products.
• Rather than recommending just one drop to replace it we have had to recommend some options because some patients report that one type is better than another for their particular condition.
• All recommendations are for the single use preservative free containers not the bottles of drops that do contain preservatives.
• If you experience any stinging from the drops you are trialing please stop using them and try one of the other recommended drops or please contact our office.
