Artificial tears (replacement for natural tears)
Artificial tears replace natural tears and
are available in the form of drops and
sprays or gels. Artificial tears help to fight dry eyes. They can be
used together with contact lenses,
but it is always better to consult this with an ophthalmologist first.
Artificial tears also help to keep the conjunctiva moist and prevent corneal
dryness.
Contact lens wearers should not use oil-based
artificial tears.
