July brings to mind fireworks, watermelon, endless sunshine, and the soft chirping of crickets in the evening. It's also a month dedicated to awareness of Dry Eye Disease (DED), an all-too-common struggle for around 16 million Americans. Dry Eye Disease has many associated factors, including diet, environment, digital device usage, and related health factors.
In honor of our biggest Dry Eye Disease champions, our patients, we will feature several of our favorite methods for Dry Eye relief this month. First up is a new preservative free drop for intense dry eye relief! What's so exciting about another re-wetting drop? Well, this one is different than others that you may have seen or tried in the past. Not only is it preservative free, it does not require refrigeration and is packaged to stay sterile for up to three months! Contact lens wearers, this one is for you, too! This drop is contact lens safe, so no need to remove your contacts before taking some quick, instant dryness relief during your busy day!
