Are eye drops good or bad for eyes?
Drops that whiten your eyes are not good at all. Any drop that contains witch hazel will make your eye look whiter by making the blood vessels get smaller. This is not good to use everyday because when you stop using them your blood vessels will relax completely and be bigger than they were initially, making the eye look redder than it did originally, a vicious circle. So, these are the type of drop your optician would have advised you against using. It is ok to use medical drops such as an artificial tear drops, which would be good for dry eyes. You can also try a natural remedy as well or instead… Get a clean flannel and dip it into hot water (not so hot you would burn yourself) then place this hot flannel over your closed eyelids. Hold there for a minute or so then gently massage your eyelids. This will help your oils glands produce the oil part of your tears that are needed to keep your eyes moist. It is a deficiency in the oil that makes your eyes feel dry.
