Dry eye treatments round-up

Clinical Practice
With most working environments now demanding long hours of screen time and with air conditioning on full blast in the summer, dry eye symptoms are often difficult to escape. Zoe Wickens reports on what products are on the market to ease the pain and asks some office staff to give them a try

Lacrifresh Ocu-Dry
