Choosing the Best Eye Drops for Dry Eyes
Choosing the right OTC eye drops for dry eye is important in managing the symptoms of this condition. In summary, milder cases of dry eye may do well with occasional use of preserved OTC formulations. In more advanced cases, considering a higher dosing frequency, a more viscous drop, a preservative-free formula or a hyaluronan-containing formula might be better. By evaluating your symptoms, disease etiology, and considering the many types of drops available, you will be able to choose something that will fit your own personal needs.
