Drops to Rely On
Ragweed is up, the AC is still going, and campfire smoke always has a way to find your eyes. This part of the year hits your tear film from every angle, and most people just double down how often they use their drops just to get through it.
However, the more often you use a drop, the more the preservatives in it become the problem. This is why I recommend to patients to use preservative-free. Thealoz Duo for hydration that holds up all day. Hyabak when you want something lighter you can use as often as you need. And I-Drop Pur if you wear contacts, since it's safe with lenses in.
