Eye sprays?
« on: July 30, 2007, 10:05:00 am »
I saw an ad on TV... for an eye spray .. a mist really to spray on your face to help "dry eye" ...  anyone ever try it?

I'm sure its not as good as Systance or Lacilube .. but I think it might be good to keep some in the car for use while driving..
( because you can't really get yourself eye drops while driving  ;)  or dial the phone  ;D )

err yes - I doubt its the same mix - UK vs USA etc
Yes the eye spray works quite well for minor eye dryness
its not quite as effective as the eye gel "straight into the eye"
but it does not tweak the vision quite as much either
In all cases its down to the individual to work out the best
solution (sorry..) or mix - for their condition
I suggest try it and see - but take your old stuff along as backup
- just in case ?
Best regards
Tony

I use Nature's Tears eye mist and LOVE it.  I cannot get it at Wal-mart anymore, so I purchase in 2-packs on-line from Drugstore.com.  I keep some everywhere I keep extra lip balm... in my car, purse and by my bed & computer :).  It's super refreshing...everyone in my family tries to steal it...

I can watch the road with my left eye, steer with my left hand, & pop a drop with my right hand !!  the secret: I've had to use allergy drops since I'm a young teenager, so I've gotten realllllly good at it !!
