Question: Isn't it harmful to instill a tear substitute in your eyes 5 - 6 times a day?

Answer: If there is a preservative in the drops, it can be harmful. When using drops more than 3 times a day, then you need to choose drops without a preservative. With an excess of any drops, crusts of active ingredients may appear on the eyelids, so it is better not to drip more than one drop at a time. It happens that such crusts dry out on the eyelashes and do not interfere, but if a tear gets on them, then the active ingredients instantly dissolve and irritate the eye. So it is best not to pour too much solution.
