Try one: None of them is best. Just try one and if you don't like it, try another.

Trial and Error: Without a specific eye problem, when it comes to the OTC artificial tears it is comes down to which one works best and feels most comfortable to you. If the problem is serious or they do not help you should discuss this with your eye doctor.
