I use drops rather than ointment, and usually the type that come in separate one-dose ampoules. These are more expensive, but then my dry eye problem comes and goes so I don't have to use them every day of the year. The normal drops irritate my eyes, which my doctor says is down to antibacterial products in them. The one-dose kind stay sterile without any antibacterials.

I have only used those ampoules and an allergy/itching drug for eyes prescribed by docs. I tried some of the OTC drops in a multi-use container but didn't like them. Eventually i had to quit the allergy med because it began causing a tic after 3 yrs.
So i use the sensitive-plus form of ampoules several times daily as needed and carry them with me always. Used a targ generic for quite a long time. Then got a new pack and one of the ampoules burned my eye, so back to my namebrand! When my eyes itch a lit i go ahead and use the rx stuff. I have the mentioned homeooathic stuff but haven't tried it.
In humid times i only use ampoules twice, 1st thing when i get up & right before bed. When it's drier i use them 4 or 5 times daily.
Hope everyone here knows always apply drops from outer edge one at a time alternating eyes and blinking gently a few times plus rolling eyes around a bit.
Good luck

In this context, ampoules are tiny containers each containing an individual dose of eye drops. Because of this, each dose remains sterile until opened, so they don't need to add antibacterial preservatives. For a lot of us, it's these chemicals that cause the stinging.
