Eye drops for dryness

2020-09-16 10:22:45
Could you please tell me the name of artificial tear eye drops which are preservative free. Most OTC drops like refresh tears containing carboxymethyllulose also have some preservatives too looks like.  I spend lot of time on viewing computer screen. Kindly suggest me a non preservative brand and you can also confirm to me if refresh tears really has preservative or not.

Refresh tears is relatively preservative free which means the preservative evaporates as soon as the drop is instilled in the eye. So it's safe and can be used for a longer period. But do make sure to take a break of atleast 15 days after every 2 months of continuous use.
