There are too many bottles in this package, but the idea is there. The bottles shown are what they look like. They generally run $8.00-$15.00, depending on the store and the size. Some of the stores also sell a two-pack version for a cheaper price. Mom and I usually use the green box.
It's not a prescription or anything, but it may take a little while to get used to. It's clear and feels like water, but there's a clean and comfortable feeling after the use. I am not too sure how many times you're meant to use it. I use it on occasion, and my mom uses it daily. A one-time thing.
I am not too sure which sightedness I have, but if I were to look at something up close and personal, perfectly fine. But... if I were to stand outside and look down the road, big signs are blurry. If I cover my left eye, my right eye is perfectly fine. If I cover my right eye, the left eye is super blurry.
I have glasses and a prescription in the left eye, but I don't wear them. I should. :x
E: I am not too sure about the contacts-thing. I know you're meant to put the drops on the eye itself. Lemme go read the bottle. Sec
E2: Bottle says nothing about contacts. It merely says to put the drops in the affected eye/eyes. It also says that there's more instructions on the box itself, but we don't have the box anymore.

I know the struggle....
My eyes were always itchy and dry. I was told it depends on the quality of contacts you're wearing as well. I wore FreshLook Toric (because of my astigmatism) for years. As a result, my eyes were always red, dry, and to be honest completely bothersome.
After my last visit to my optometrist, he recommended I switch to Acuvue Oasys in addition to using eye lubricant. The different contacts helped my eyes breathe. I used the eye lubricant right before bed to help with the dry eyes. You can buy it at any pharmacy store and it's actually quite common for just a few bucks. Almost overnight, my eyes were white and the new contacts felt like I genuinely didn't have anything on!
So, I suggest you look at other brands that might be of better quality and start using eye lubricant to help with the dryness and redness.
