GenTeal Gel

[Gaye]

Hello everyone - I was in Walmart today and saw that GenTeal Severe Dry Eye Gel was back on the shelves - finally. This is great news for all of you who need it but have been unable to find it. I am sure it will slowly reappear everywhere again.

[Missy]

Yea! I found some of this at Wal-Mart today. I've been using what Gaye sent me, but mainly during the day... I haven't tried it by itself at night yet. It doesn't seem thick enough to last. How much do you use?

GenTeal Gel

Hi Missy - I put a small glob in each eye just before I close my eyes to sleep. For me, that does the trick for the whole night.

[Missy]

When I put the gel in my eyes it seemed to liquify and run out. I don't know how much was actually staying in there. Is this how yours does?

[Gaye]

GenTeal Gel

It does pretty much do that, so don't use too much. For me anyway, it coats my eyes and gives me longer lasting protection through the night. Kind of goopy, but decent relief.

Is it (Gen Teal) gel or is it ointment?

Hi Missy - I put a small glob in each eye just before I close my eyes to sleep. For me, that does the trick for the whole night.

A small glob sounds like an ointment to me. Either way since my eyelids apparently don't stay tightly closed when I sleep(thank you LASIK procedure), I wake up at odd times during the night with 1 or more eyes in some amount of pain. No matter what I have spackled, or dribbled into my eyes before sleep. I am still looking for the silver bullet.

GenTeal Gel

is a GEL. Not an ointment. Comes in a tube......Think of jello for consistency. You can't do a "drop" of jello. It would be a glob.

GenTeal Gel

Thank you Lucy for helping clarify my description. Ointment would be a strip or line.

[Rebecca Petris]

Sounds like we need to add a dry eye encyclopedia entry for "glob". Just above the one for "goop".

Juninho ( you have to be from the boro )

I have been advised by Gaye to look for some Genteal gel for night time use, which you also seem to have found works.

Interested that you had to get yours from Oz, is it not available in NE England as that is where i am from and am about to start searching for it.

Perhaps there are simular products ?

cheers

GenTeal Now?

I know there was a "recall" on GenTeal Gel just recently after being basically "unavailable." Now that the recall has been completed (I'm guessing) is anyone finding GenTeal Gel on their local shelves? Every time I'm in the eyeball section of any store, I always look to see if they have GenTeal Gel. I have yet to see any.

I am not a heavy user of GenTeal, but I like to have a tube on hand with my other dry eye stuff. Cindy sent me one several months ago and I'm still rationing it!

I've seen it at several CVS's.

I saw you can import it to the UK for $64 from medichest.com not going to tring this then!

Tell the pharmacist: Genteal Gel

I had the pharmacist at my local Walgreen's order it about 3 weeks ago. She kept saying "it's not available" (still going on the previous situation up until October, I guess it was). I told her to check with her supplier, and she found out it was available. After she ordered my 2 tubes, she got another 15 tubes for the store. You have to tell the people running the stores--they get busy, and they don't know that it's now available.
