It sounds uncomfortable to have dry and painful eyes. Optive Eye Drops contain an artificial tear lubricant that can help relieve dryness and discomfort by moisturizing your eyes. However, since this medication requires a prescription, it is important to consult an ophthalmologist (eye specialist) before using it to ensure it is appropriate for your specific condition.

If you wear contact lenses, remember to remove them before applying the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in. Also, be aware that the drops may cause temporary blurred vision or irritation; if these symptoms persist, see your eye doctor promptly.
