Advice & Tips
I used it for 6 days and had to quit because it made my eyes worse and I started to develop another eye infection and I just got over being treated for Episcleritis and did NOT want to go through that again! After two days of not using it my eye cleared up.

Advice & Tips
It takes about a month of usage before you actually notice a real difference in how much tearing, blurry vision you still have. I'm happy to again be able to easily read. :-)
