Eye Drops - G Xailin Fresh

[Tokki]

For a while Bugs has been having trouble wearing contact lenses - she found it very hard to remove them. I think the time has come to revert to glasses but my suggestion did not go down well.

I wrote to the eye surgeon and he replied very quickly, backing me up almost but (and this is the point of this) prescribing some artificial tears. Our pharmacy is a group of 4 and none of them stock it as a matter of course.

I don't know if it is new or costly but hope it will help. If anyone else has similar problems, it might be worth asking GP etc about it.

The US has it on it's shelf for anyone to purchase...you do not need a prescription.... If

walgreens is over in the UK, ask where the eyedrops are and you should find what you're looking for.

Goodluck

Thanks, here it is by prescription only in the UK. Why?????

Just under 3 weeks now to the midsummer solstice and we still have our heating on. I am sure someone will announce soon how many shopping days until Christmas!

Just had a look on Amazon. They sell them. Why do medics say prescription only? Did not think to ask - more learning.

I cannot buy thickener off the shelf at one pharmacy, must ask the pharmacist for it...(I don't need a script) and at another pharmacy, I can just pick it up and buy it with my other stuff....wierd!I do hope you find what you are looking for.
