Quick answer: If your eyes feel dry, tired, or irritated from screens, air-con, or contact lenses, these seven brands are worth knowing. Alcon’s Systane range is a go-to for extended hydration, Allergan’s Refresh line is gentle and preservative-free, and Optrex handles environmental irritants well. For contact lens users, AMO’s Blink drops are designed with sodium hyaluronate for all-day comfort, while Eyemo and Senju offer reliable, straightforward relief at different price points.
Not all dryness is the same. You might be battling office aircon, post-laser discomfort, contact-lens friction or seasonal haze—each calls for a different kind of relief. The right eye drops match both the trigger and the texture you can actually tolerate, so you are not blinking your way through the afternoon. Here is how the major brands available in Singapore line up against those real-world conditions.
Best Doctors & Specialists in Singapore is the parent list here, with 40 guides covering everything in this area.
Alcon
Alcon is a global eye care heavyweight with a strong footing in Singapore, known for putting serious science into every bottle. Their Systane range—especially Systane Ultra and Systane Complete PF—uses nano-droplet technology to coat the eye surface evenly, so moisture stays put longer. That is a real plus when you are parked in front of a monitor all day or wearing contacts in air-conditioned offices.
Both formulations are designed to handle the particular cocktail of humidity and indoor dryness we get here. Systane Complete PF goes preservative-free, which is a good call if your eyes tend to get sensitive after multiple applications. For anyone whose screen time is off the charts, this brand is worth a serious look. If long hours in front of a monitor are causing your eye fatigue, you might also appreciate our list of Visionary Displays—good monitors can be kinder on the eyes.
Systane suits the long-haul screen user who wants one application to last through back-to-back meetings. The nano-droplet delivery pays off when you cannot pause for a midday refresh—think auditors, designers staring at fine details, or anyone booked solid from nine to six in central aircon.
Where to get it: Alcon is widely available at pharmacies and clinics across Singapore.

Allergan
Allergan’s Refresh line is one of those quiet, steady performers that just works without fuss. Refresh Tears and Refresh Liquigel are both preservative-free—they mimic your natural tears, so the eye takes to them almost immediately. If you have tried drops that sting and then gave up, this is the brand many people circle back to.
The Liquigel version hangs around a little longer, which helps when your eyes feel gritty again two hours after the last application. Both are gentle enough for daily use in our climate and simple enough for anyone just starting to add eye drops to their routine. No special prep needed, just blink and go. And if you are thinking about general health, our guide to Podiatrists in Singapore can help keep you on your feet.
Refresh appeals to the sensitive-eye reader who abandoned drops years ago after too many stinging episodes. The preservative-free, tear-mimicking formulation lands gently, making it a natural first choice post-LASIK or during a flare-up when even blinking feels like a negotiation.
Where to get it: Available at major pharmacies and online retailers.

Optrex
Optrex has been around long enough that your grandmother probably remembers it, but the formulas have kept pace. Their Rehydrating Eye Drops and Multi Action Eye Wash are built for eyes that feel properly parched—the kind of dryness you get after a full day in air-con with a fan blowing straight at your face.
The eye wash is a bit different: you get a separate solution to rinse out whatever dust, pollen, or general city grime has settled on the eye surface. Both products are compatible with contact lenses, which makes them a practical pick if you switch between glasses and lenses depending on the day. After a long week, that cooling sensation when the drop hits is a small moment of relief that feels well-earned.
We compile these ourselves and take suggestions. If your business belongs on this list, tell us why.
Optrex comes into its own for the full-face dryness scenario—the kind where your cheeks feel tight and your lids are heavy by 3pm. The separate eye wash in the range is especially practical for flushing out particulate matter after a motorcycle commute or a day at a dusty worksite.
Where to get it: Pharmacies, supermarkets, and online platforms.

Bausch + Lomb
Bausch + Lomb addresses dryness and irritation with a range that covers both lubrication and cleansing. Moisture Eyes Lubricant mimics natural tears without leaving a greasy film, which is a common complaint with heavier formulas. The Advanced Eye Relief Eye Wash is their dedicated rinsing solution, handy if your eyes feel clogged after a dusty commute or a day outdoors.
Contact lens wearers in Singapore’s active lifestyle tend to reach for this brand because the drops stay comfortable under the lens and do not cloud vision. The Harboufront office handles inquiries, but you will find the products in most Guardian and Watsons outlets, so access is straightforward.
This range suits the active contact-lens wearer juggling sweat, sunscreen and Singapore’s humidity. The lubricant drops stay lightweight while the dedicated eye wash earns its place after weekend outdoor duty—gardening, trail running or simply a long walk under pollen-heavy trees.
Where to get it: Widely stocked in pharmacies islandwide. More branches available here.
Address: 3 Harbourfront Place #09-04, Harbourfront Tower Two, Singapore 099254

AMO
AMO’s Blink series is a contact lens user’s best kaki when the lenses start feeling like sandpaper halfway through the day. Blink Contacts and Blink Intensive Tears use sodium hyaluronate—a moisture-retaining molecule your body already produces—to pull water into the eye surface and keep it there. Both are safe for all lens types, which takes one worry off the table.
If you wear lenses for long stretches, you know the sian feeling of irritation creeping in just before a meeting. A couple of drops and the lenses settle again, without that blurry moment some other brands cause. The Beach Road office serves as a local touchpoint, but you can grab Blink drops at optical shops and pharmacies pretty easily.
Blink’s sodium hyaluronate formula is calibrated for the moment lenses start gripping instead of floating—that telltale mid-afternoon graininess. It is a steady companion for shift workers and anyone who hits the gym straight after the office without removing their lenses first.
Where to get it: Optical stores, pharmacies, and online.
Address: 150 Beach Road, Gateway West, Singapore 189720
Phone: +65 6292 2548

Eyemo
Eyemo is the kind of brand you grew up seeing in your parents’ bathroom and never thought much about—until your own eyes started acting up. Eyemo Regular and Eyemo Moist handle the everyday stuff: a bit of itchiness, some redness, that scratchy feeling after you rub your eyes too hard. The formulas are simple, nothing fancy, but they do the job without drama.
For Singapore’s tropical climate, where pollen and haze can pop up uninvited, having a bottle on hand is just practical. Eyemo Moist adds a touch more hydration, so if regular drops feel a tad thin, that one gives a little extra cushion. The brand’s long run here says something about its reliability—it has been a mainstay for a reason.
Eyemo handles the low-grade, everyday irritation that does not warrant a specialist visit. Keep a bottle in your desk pedestal for the days when haze readings creep up or after a particularly aggressive eye-rub leaves things looking pink. Simple enough to use without overthinking the dose.
Where to get it: Pharmacies, supermarkets, and convenience stores.

Senju
Senju’s Mytear range brings a distinctly Japanese approach to eye drops: you get to choose your coolness level. Mytear CL Cool Hi is the one for a real shiok, menthol-like wake-up call, while the milder options suit eyes that prefer less intensity. All are compatible with contact lenses, so you do not have to remove them mid-day.
The drops work by supporting the eye’s own metabolic processes, which means the relief builds rather than just landing and fading. It is an online-only purchase for Singaporeans, so you will need to order through their local distributor’s site. If you enjoy that crisp, fresh feeling behind your eyelids—almost like a cold shower for your eyes—Senju is worth a try.
Senju’s Mytear coolness scale lets you decide how much sensory wake-up you actually need. The mentholated version doubles as a midday reset during a heavy-lidded afternoon, while the milder end works for readers who just want lens-safe moisture without the frosty kick.
Where to get it: Online-only, delivered within Singapore.

How to choose
Start with why your eyes are uncomfortable. If screens are the main culprit, look for longer-lasting hydration—Alcon’s Systane Complete PF or Allergan’s Refresh Liquigel make sense. For gritty, irritated eyes from dust, haze, or air-con, Optrex’s eye wash plus rehydrating drops can clear and soothe in one go. Contact lens wearers have two strong paths: AMO’s Blink range is built specifically around sodium hyaluronate for lens compatibility, while Senju adds a cooling option that some people really like.
Preservative-free matters if you use drops more than four times a day or have sensitive eyes. Both Systane Complete PF and the Refresh line skip preservatives entirely. If you only reach for drops once in a while, preservative-containing ones are generally fine and often cost a bit less. Check the bottle: single-dose vials are preservative-free by nature; multi-dose bottles may or may not be.
Price is not a huge differentiator among these brands—most fall within a few dollars of each other in a pharmacy. Expect to pay roughly $10 to $20 for a bottle, with preservative-free options sometimes at the higher end or sold in boxes of single-use units. Eyemo tends to sit at the more accessible end, while Senju’s online-only model and imported nature may place it a little higher.
If you have a diagnosed dry eye condition or post-surgery needs, your eye doctor’s recommendation trumps any list—take this as a starting point, not medical advice.

Summary

Frequently asked questions
Which eye drop brand is best for long screen hours?
Alcon’s Systane range, especially Systane Complete PF, uses nano-droplet technology that holds moisture longer and comes preservative-free. Allergan’s Refresh Liquigel is another good choice for extended comfort without frequent reapplying.
Do all of these eye drops work with contact lenses?
Most are safe for contact lens use—Alcon, Allergan, Optrex, Bausch + Lomb, AMO, and Senju specifically state compatibility. Eyemo does not specify, so check the label or ask your optometrist before using with lenses.
Are preservative-free eye drops worth the extra cost?
If you use drops more than four times a day or have sensitive eyes, preservative-free formulas like Systane Complete PF or Refresh Tears reduce the chance of irritation over time. For occasional use, standard bottles are generally fine and lighter on the wallet.
Can I use eye wash solutions daily?
Optrex and Bausch + Lomb both offer eye wash solutions meant for occasional cleansing when eyes feel dirty or irritated. Daily use is possible, but if you find yourself needing an eye wash often, it is wise to check with an eye doctor.
Where can I buy Senju eye drops in Singapore?
Senju is sold online-only through its local distributor’s website. You order there and have it delivered within Singapore—no physical store pickup.
How much do these eye drops typically cost?
Most single bottles range from about $10 to $20 in Singapore pharmacies. Preservative-free options in multi-dose bottles or boxes of single-use vials can sit at the higher end. Eyemo tends to be on the more affordable side.
