How it works
Supplements the aqueous layer of the tear film, reducing friction between the eyelid and cornea and providing immediate symptomatic relief.
Preservative-containing drops should not be used more than 4–6 times daily — preservatives can damage the corneal surface. Use preservative-free drops for frequent use.
Why strong evidence
Consistent evidence supports artificial tears as effective first-line treatment for mild-to-moderate dry eye. Endorsed by all major ophthalmology guidelines.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
