Side effects of artificial tears

2017-06-28 06:47:59
I consult a opthalmologist before, he said that I'm having dry eyes. He told to me to use hypromellose, artificial tears to get rid of this. 4 times a day, I'll use it in one week.But I didn't obey what he said. Sometimes, only 2 times a day I used it because I notice the side effects of it. Like now I have a big eyebags which I don't have before.

If the diagnosis is correct do persist with the treatment as advised. - in fact you can increase the frequency of the drops. The bags under the eyes are a side effect of dry eyes not of the medicines
