These eye drops are lubricants and help moisten your eyes. The electrolytes and preservatives present in artificial or artificial tears work to repair the surface of the eye, which helps prevent the growth of bacteria. Artificial tears treat dry eyes in most people and are inexpensive. They also help in reducing the drying of tears.
