What is Artificial Tears?
Artificial Tears are over-the-counter and prescription drugs or remedies that treat dry eyes and are sometimes called lubricants or lubricating eye drops. Artificial Tears typically contain a lubricant (such as water or glycerin), a humectant (a substance to help retain moisture on the surface of the eye), and electrolytes, such as potassium or sodium. Some Artificial Tears contain oil to help build the oil layer on the surface of the eye that prevents moisture from evaporating too quickly.
Artificial Tears will either contain preservatives or be preservative-free. Preservatives help prevent the growth of bacteria in the eye drops and on the surface of the eye, but they are recommended only for people with mild to moderate dry eye. For patients with more serious dry eye, preservatives can irritate the eye, so those patients should use preservative-free Artificial Tears. Preservative-free Artificial Tears are typically more expensive and often supplied in single-use packages.
Artificial Tears are not advised for people who have chronic dry eye. In those cases, prescription eye drops are required to treat the underlying problem.
