i have read on other boards that moisturizing drops can throw off the balance in your tear composition.....and, when i think back....the times when i was not using any drops were times when things were actually quite better.....should some of us not be using drops?
I use the drops when my eyes are dry - I think it helps. I also take
Thera Tears Nurtrition for dry eyes and they really help me. They are
a blend of omega 3's, vit e and flaxseed. I get them at CVS.
My Opthomologist recommended I use Refresh brand natural tears. He wanted me to use them as often as I needed them, which at times can be up to 6-8 times a day. It is worse to have your eyes irritated and constantly inflamed.
Some brands of natural tears have preservatives in them. You might want to take a look for one that doesn't.
I asked the pharmacist who said that these drops have made some folks' eyes produce fewer tears naturally. she says it can be a problem long term. her description was that it made the eye "lazy." who knows.
do moisture drops make things worse?
