Hey beautiful sunshines!!

Lately my eyes have been getting red, tired, dry... and... in other words, they were feeling extremely uncomfortable. 

New V Rohto Plus Eye Drops

I guess you can't read what it says so let me type it out:

Indications/Efficacy:

Relives eyestrain, conjunctival congestion, discomfort due to use of hard contact lenses, minor eye irritation, remove redness of eye, refresh & soothe tired & sore eyes, eye itching, 

Directions: 

Instill 2 to 3 drops 4 to 5 times per day

Impressions

• Ouch! This stuff stings!!!!!
• Very refreshing
• Tastes sweet(?)
• Cool minty sensation
• Very effective
• Container was bulky but didn't help me instill these drops easily.

When they claim that it will be refreshing, I didn't expect the drops to be "this refreshing". It literally feels like you are putting mint drops into your eyes!! The sting was shocking at first (you will sort of eventually get used to it). There was a refreshing sensation (just like how it feels after you indulge on a mint candy cane). 

Some drops sled down my face and into my mouth and they sort of tasted slightly sweet... which was weird... since most drops are salty tasting.

dropper

I found the container quite difficult to dispense the drops into my eyes, I always end up dropping them onto my face. (such as waste of product).

That being said though, what surprised me the most is the effectiveness of these drops. After putting 2 drops into each eye, I looked in the mirror and all the redness was gone! My eyes were no longer tired and no longer itchy. The relieve of tireness doesn't last too long... but my eyes did temporarily feel refreshed.

Verdict:

I loved these drops, because they work, however, I am definitely NOT a fan of the stinging sensation... I don't know whether it will affect my eyes in the long run.

Score: 7.8/10
