@missopal from my understanding, the drops are not intended to give you any immediate relief beyond what you would get from a store bought lubricating eye drop. I think the idea is that the serum is full of nourishing factors that may help your eyes long term by reducing inflammation or possibly providing nutrients to help damaged nerves. I may be incorrect but you may not want these if you need immediate relief. Unless you find the store bought drops irritating; I know some people cannot tolerate those well. In that case, the drops may provide you with immediate relief.

Have you tried taking fish oil supplements/eating a diet with a decent amount of fatty fish in it? I have heard that helps too. I’m not sure if it works for me, but I still am trying it. Probably can’t hurt.
