Can we continuously use lubricating eye drops for prolonged period of time
Dr. Richa Jain

Yes u can. . If it's preservative free
I got Lasik done on 3rd May 2016 and I'm still experiencing the post-lasik dry eye. I have been prescribed by the doctor Systane Ultra" eye drops 4 times a day and I'm willing to go for a lesser expensive alternate - Ocumoist. Please suggest if it is okay to use this alternative - as I also worry about intoxicating my eyes with preservatives."
Dr. Richa Jain

U can use it. Systane ultra is preservative free. U can use refresh tears eyedrop which is also preservative free
