My ophthalmologist told me to use gel drops at night. Like you, I have to be ready to sleep. Reading is out of the question. But they do help my dry eyes. I use lubricant eye drops during the day - when I think of it.

Hi Jim, the ointment really is like a gel. I too use the drops during the day. Apparently, we blink less while reading (tech devices too) and watching TV. My glasses block blue light from TV and my devices. I also set my phone and tablet backgrounds to be much less light and to block blue light as well. Much easier on my eyes. Take care, Sunny 😊
