Refresh Tears instead of Flogel

2021-07-06 17:05:21
I am a Software Engineer and I have dry eyes. I consulted a doctor on Practo and he advised me to use Flogel 1% 4 times a day. The medical store had only Refresh Tears. Should I take these drops or should I go for Flogel only? If I can use Refresh Tears, should there be a difference in the number of times I should use it?

Refresh tears is carboxymethyl cellulose 0.5% And flogel is 1% In dry eyes due to computer you need atleast of carboxymethyl cellulose 1% 4 times a day and if not available carboxymethyl cellulose  0.5% 6 times per day 1 drop at a time. Also there is one Refresh liquigel which is carboxymethyl cellulose 1% Besides you also have to follow 20 20 20 rule, that is staying away from screen after 20 min of computer use for 20 seconds and see 20 feet far if possible and blink as many times as possible.
