Soothing dry eyes

Dry eye treatments work by replacing the water missing from the film of tears which keep your eyes moist and healthy. Eye drops are perfect for this, as they are quick to use and often only require a couple of drops to ensure your eyes stay comfortable.

For those with more sensitive skin, an ointment or gel can be applied to your eyes that’s kinder to your eyelids. Products such as Blephagel and Blephasol are ideal, quickly soothing itchy eyes without inflaming your skin.

Which are the best eye drops for dry eyes?

For dry eyes, lubricating eye drops will provide the best relief. Also known as artificial tears in some cases, these will help supplement the natural moisture already in your eyes and quickly soothe any irritation.

It’s worth avoiding any drops that are advertised as a decongestant. Rather than soothing your eyes, these are designed to make them look less red and could worsen dry eye symptoms in the long run.
