Hi.
Olopat is Olopatadine, a topical anti allergic medicine which is an Antihistamine. It is NOT a steroid.
2. Most Lubricating drops are generally good. There isnt any that is bad.Some to consider are ECOTEARS/GLYTEARS/REFRESH LIQUIGEL/LUBREX.
3.Lubricating drops like maxmoist generally dont have any side effects. So, if you are comfortable after using them, you can continue to use them.
Regards,
Srikanth.
