The Chemistry of Eye Care Products
I recently ran into a patient at a Crossroads art gallery who I had not seen since last Spring. During our conversation, she mentioned using an over-the-counter eye drop to help with discomfort.

As is often the case with patients, she asked what the difference was between it and other eye lubricating drops. |
