@schumacv The ingredients for thera tears is Sodium carboxy-methylcellulose and for Systane Complete PF is Propylene Glycol. I'm not a pharmacist but they don't look the same, but I could be wrong. What I was getting at was the delivery of the product, presenting the eye with medicine by way of a brand new sterile tip delivering the contents every few days, instead of one that encloses the product in a non-sterile environment at room temperature for weeks or months depending on how many times a day you rehydrate.

@steve161 I believe Systane can be purchased with that same delivery method. The reason for my personal choice of the bottle is cost control. The tip is made in a way to prevent contamination. I've not experienced contamination issues after many refills. Your delivery choice is a valid one.
