Your doctor can suggest which eyedrops might be best for you. Lubricating drops that don't contain preservatives can be used as often as you need. If the drops you're using contain preservatives, don't use them more than four times a day. Avoid eyedrops with a redness remover, as these may worsen dry eye symptoms.

Eye drops work by replacing your eyes’ moisture when they are unable to create enough wetness on their own. This, as you’d expect, relieves dryness and irritation, while also promoting surface healing and increasing comfort. Optometrist and Founder at Ocushield.
