What exactly do rewetting drops do that saline doesn't? Rewetting
drops cost $15-20 per ounce. Whereas saline is about $0.25 per ounce.

I did see a B&L Sensitive Eyes rewetting drops (without lubrication).
I read the ingredients, and they were identical to the B&L Sensitive
Eyes saline. But the rewetting drops cost $7 for 1 oz. Whereas the
saline is less than $3/12oz ($0.25/oz). Ridiculous.

I've used the big bottles. Not too convenient. I bought the little
bottles. When they ran out, wash your hands well. Pop the nipple off.
Just push sideways. Refill with saline. Put the nipple back on. I
would often do this several times, and then buy another little bottle.
