Benefits of Hicool Eye Drops
- In Dry eyes: Normally your eyes produce enough natural tears to help them move easily and comfortably and to remove dust and other particles. If they do not produce enough tears, they can become dry, red and painful. Dry eyes can be caused by wind, sun, heating, computer use, and some medications. Hicool Eye keeps your eyes lubricated and can relieve any dryness and pain. They will also help protect your eyes from injury and infection.
