Questions and Answers:
Q- “How often can I use these drops?”
A- As often as necessary. In fact you should let your symptoms be your guide. Since these drops stimulate your body’s own ability to moisturize, you should use them again right when you first notice the symptoms returning.
Q- “How are these drops different than other eye drops?”
A- Most other eye drops are lubricant artificial tears which augment the eyes natural tears. We believe that replacement therapies such as this actually allow the underlying condition to worsen. Our drops work in the opposite direction - with the body!
ABOUT HOMEOPATHY
Homeopathic medicine can be used without danger because it is not toxic and has no known side effects. Homeopathic remedies have an unlimited shelf life. Homeopathic remedies are made from plants such as the Dandelion, some animal substances such as the venom of the bee, and different active and naturally occurring substances such as Mother of Pearl, beneficial metals such as iron and magnesium salts, and in general from substances that have a known, curative effect. A special process called “potentizing” enhances the curative effect of these different substances. It consists of diluting the original substance in steps, to reduce any potential toxicity, and by shaking the dilution after every diluting step in order to enhance its action as a remedy. Through this process the remedy not only become completely safe to use, but its healing activity is actually strengthened!
Sterilization Information
The drops are sterile filled in an ISO 9000 facility. They are pH balanced between 6.8 & 7.2. They are buffered with citrates. Polysorbate 80 is at the minimal amount of .04% as a lubricant. They are preservative free. Polysorbate 80 does have preservative and stability qualities (but is not classified as a preservative), so the the drops can last nine months to a year after opening as long as they are not contaminated, such as would occur if the dropper tip contacts the eye/lid.
