Refresh Tears Eye Drops contains Carboxymethylcellulose 0.5% w/v, a lubricating ingredient used to relieve eye dryness and irritation. However, in a 1 year old baby, it should only be used if advised by a paediatrician or ophthalmologist, because eye symptoms at this age can have different causes, such as infection, allergy, or blocked tear duct. Proper medical evaluation is important before using any eye drops in infants or young children.

Long-sightedness means nearby objects look unclear due to focusing issues in the eyes. Use proper reading glasses as advised, ensure good lighting while reading, take regular breaks from close work, and avoid eye strain. Do simple eye exercises, keep screens at a proper distance, and maintain good eye care habits. If it is affecting daily work or worsening, consult a doctor to check your vision and update the correction if needed.

Your eye pain after reading is likely due to eye strain, dry eyes, or a need for reading glasses. For immediate relief, you can use over-the-counter lubricating eye drops (artificial tears) 3 to 4 times daily to soothe discomfort. Avoid 'redness-relief' drops, as they can worsen irritation over time. I also recommend the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Because this pain occurs during focused work, please visit an eye specialist. You may simply need reading glasses to properly correct your vision and eliminate the strain.

Frequent itching and watery eyes are typically caused by allergies, dry eyes, or irritation rather than adjustments to your prescription glasses. It is possible to determine the cause and administer appropriate treatment by using lubricating eye drops and speaking with an ophthalmologist.

Allergies, dry eyes, infections, or blocked tear ducts can all contribute to sudden watering of the eyes. For a proper examination and treatment, you need consult an ophthalmologist.

The most common side effects of Refresh Tears Eye Drops are irritation, mild burning sensation, and blurred vision. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.
