Comment:
I have been using this medication for about a month now. My overall experience has been good. I have a disorder related with my rheumatoid arthritis. My eyes do not produce the necessary moisture normally. I also use a different medication at night that was prescribed by my ophthalmologist. That medicine is a gel made of mineral oil and white petroleum jelly.

Comment:
Recommended by optometrist. Used before bedtime for only 2 nights. Reaction of slightly swollen eyes and face in morning, which went away after on my feet for awhile. Have some facial skin itching two days later. Could have been worse if I wasn't on a daily antihistamine.

For some reason crystals form on my eyelids by a.m. I have been instructed to use the drops 6 to 8 times per day.
