Rhoto V Cool eyedrops were a write-off from the start. You can’t buy them in Canada, and they cost about double the regular price for eydrops.

But, I’m me, so I went and found them in a US Safeway. After reading a rave review, I decided these were for me – my eyes get crazy red when they’re dry and I’m tired, and I’m sick of making small children scream! (Just kidding. Sorta.)

But then we encountered a problem – the drops burn like hell! You know how it feels when you get shampoo in your eyes? Times that by five and add some random stabbing.

So, not one to give up easily (the packaging is so cute!), I tried again. Washing my hands thoroughly I put a drop on my index finger on my left hand and touched my right middle finger to it lightly, getting about 1/3 of a drop on the finger pad. I touched the rounded drop to my eye and – magic!

I wish these drops were smaller, because in small amounts they are wonderful! Cooling in a refreshing way, and they really do their job taking out redness.

All in all, I think the concept is great but the execution is bad – they should put less cooling stuff in these. But, if your eyes are less sensitive than mine, go ahead and try them! (note: they do read not for children and such, and it is stated even more so than on regular eyedrops. Normal anti-reddness are like, “not for children under six” or something, and these list “for adults only”. Do not use these if you’re young!)

Before: (This was a particularly bad day, and I’m sorry for making you see this! Enlarge it and you’ll really see what they look like, when the photo isn’t squashed – eew.)After: The results speak for themselves! Amazing!
