Why can't we reuse eye lubricant capsules for dry eyes?!
Question:
Why can't we reuse eye lubricant capsules for dry eyes?
There is a warning that says to not reuse and discard after opening the capsule. However, I barely use half before I have to discard so I feel like this is a big waste. Why can't I use half in the morning and the other half in the afternoon for my dry eyes?
Answers:
3 reasons:
1. The company can only guarantee the sterility of the capsule when it is unopened. The restriction may be from the lawyers.
2. It does become contaminated when opened
3. From personal experience, after my Lasik surgery, I used a lot of drops. When following the instructions and only using new capsules, I reduced the redness and irritation in my eyes. When I used half at night and half in the morning - my eyes didn't feel as good in the morning.
