Hyco San eye drops are very good. They come in a small plastic bottle with its own dispenser and are preservative free.

Hello Mr,

Do you need a prescription for these?

Hope you are well and hope we can catch up soon.

All the best,

Lynne

I take Hylo-Forte during the day. It's brilliant. It doesn't blur my vision like other eye lubricants do. I use Lacrilube at night. It's great for settling my eye down after it gets irritated.

Hi Lynne! No prescription required. I buy mine off the Internet from Optician websites. Speak soon.

After trying lots of different drops, my pharmacist recommended Soothe, they are single phials that last 12 hours after opening and preservative free. A box is under a £5 from Boots. They are the best I have tried so far and I like them.

I wa sleeping with my eye open for a few weeks after my op. Gradually the lid started to blink and I was able to close it so the discomfort subsided. After 25 years it still gets a bit dry and my doc gives me Viscortears Gel which hepls a lot if I need something. I can shut my left eye now to go to sleep but if I try to close it tight it pulls my face/mouth to the left too. Just one of the things I've got used to over the years. Keith
