Eye drops, gels and artificial tears are all designed to relieve dry or irritated eyes, but they differ in thickness and how long they last.

Artificial tears and standard eye drops are usually lighter and more watery. They provide quick relief and are ideal for mild dryness or for use during the day, as they don’t tend to blur vision for long.

Many are specially formulated for use with contact lenses. They’re light and watery, giving quick relief without affecting vision making them perfect for daytime use.

For sensitive eyes, preservative-free eye drops or artificial tears are usually the safest choice. Preservatives in some drops can irritate delicate eyes, especially if you need to use drops frequently or wear contact lenses.

Eye gels are thicker and more lubricating. Because they stay on the eye for longer, they’re often better for more severe dryness or overnight use although they can cause temporary blurring after application.

Your optician can help recommend the most suitable option depending on your symptoms and when you need the relief most.

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month, the perfect time to talk about this silent thief of sight. Did you know that half of the people living with glaucoma in the UK don't even know they have it? Because it often has no symptoms in the early stages, you could lose up to 40% of your vision before you notice a change.

The good news? Early detection is a game-changer.

A simple, routine eye test can spot glaucoma years before it affects your sight, allowing for treatment that can prevent further loss. According to Glaucoma UK , regular checks are the best way to protect your vision.
