Hi everyone,
I’ve been getting more frequent dry, scratchy, irritated eyes lately—especially after long hours in front of screens or when allergy season hits. I decided to dig into what kind of eye drops are best for different issues and found a useful resource here: Eye Drops — Types & Uses
What I learned:
There are many kinds of eye drops: lubricating (“artificial tears”), anti-allergic, antibiotic, gel-based, etc.
It’s important to match the drop type to your symptom (for example: redness + itching from allergies vs pure dryness from screen time).
Some drops may only provide temporary relief, while others are designed for frequent/regular use.
Knowing your trigger (screens, environment, allergies, contact-lens use) changes what kind of drop you should pick.
Questions for the community:
What type of eye drops do you use? Lubricating, allergy-specific, gels or regular liquids?
How often do you need to apply them (just once a day, multiple times, etc.)?
Did you switch brands/types and notice a major difference?
Do you do anything else alongside drops (like blinking exercises, humidifier, reducing screen time) that helped?
I hope we can share what’s worked, what hasn’t, and help each other pick the right drops for different causes of eye discomfort.
Thanks in advance for your tips and stories!
