Had dry eyes, was taking tear drops

Question

Asked for Male, 21 Years

I had dry eyes and consulted a doctor a few weeks ago. He suggested Flogel 1% eye drops but I had Tears Plus (polyvinyl alcohol + povidone) eye drops which he said that can be used. My eyes feel better now. Should I continue using the same drops or change to Flogel? Are there any differences between them? I was using the drops 4 times in a day, should I change the frequency now? For how long should I keep using the drops?

U can put tear plus eye drop if it suits u . Both are equally good though different composition. Continue if you still have problem . U can reduce the frequency from 4 to 3 times per day since u are better than before . If u are completely fine , u can stop but otherwise also there is no harm in putting this kind of lubricating eye drops they are absolutely safe and doesn’t have any side effects. If you are a computer worker of more screen time , then better continue !
