I used Systane Gel Drops Lubricant Eye Gel for the first time today while swimming. It. Was. AMAZING. I'm generally not comfortable swimming underwater with my eyes open because it's uncomfortable and sometimes painful even. With these drops in, it was comfortable and pleasant. After getting used to the feeling of having my eyes open, I felt more confident swimming with my monofin than when I wore goggles. After about 45 minutes or an hour, the water slowly started to irritate my eyes again, but I'm sure reapplying would fix this.
For anyone who is interested, you put the drops in like a regular eye drop but it's much thicker (because it's gel) so it kinda just slides in. Blink and roll your eyes a few times and you're covered! I'm not positive if it's the drops or just my vision without contacts, but everything is a but blurrier after application.
I would definitely recommend eye gel drops!
