Are Artificial Tears Safe?

Artificial tears are physiological solutions based on polymers that retain water on the eye surface. They can improve both the quantity and quality of tears. Artificial tears are completely safe if not carrying any preservatives and be used correctly. It is important to note that artificial tears offer only temporary relief and do not treat the underlying disease. Please consult an ophthalmologist when symptoms do not abate or recur.^1-3
