Computer Eye Drops

Computer Eye Drops containing Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) and Propylene Glycol are lubricant eye drops (also called artificial tears) used to relieve symptoms of dry eye—especially due to digital eye strain or prolonged screen time.

🔹 Primary Uses
Dry Eye Syndrome

Provides moisture and lubrication to relieve dryness, grittiness, or irritation in the eyes.

Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) / Digital Eye Strain

Ideal for people spending long hours in front of screens, which reduces blinking and leads to dry eyes.

Environmental Eye Irritation

Soothes eyes affected by wind, smoke, air conditioning, or low humidity.

Contact Lens Discomfort (if the formulation is approved for lens wear)

Some PEG/propylene glycol drops are safe to use with lenses.

🔹 How It Works
Polyethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol are humectants and lubricants.

They form a protective film on the eye surface that retains moisture and soothes irritation.

⚠️ Common Side Effects
Temporary blurred vision after application

Mild burning or stinging

Watery eyes (reflex tearing)

🔹 Usage Tips
Usually used as needed, often 1–2 drops per eye

Blink gently to spread the drop evenly

Do not touch the dropper tip to the eye

Wait 10–15 minutes before inserting contact lenses (if compatible)
