Quick tips
Your doctor has prescribed Shelon Eye Drop to reduce dryness in the eyes.
To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.
Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute, immediately after instilling the medication. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink or rub your eye.
Make sure to use it within 4 weeks of opening the bottle.
Try to keep your environment less dry by reducing excessive use of room heaters or using a humidifier.
Wear glasses or sunglasses to protect your eyes from wind and dust when out in a hot, dry climate.
Rest your eyes by taking regular breaks if you spend long periods in front of a screen.

Patient concerns
Hi I took LASIK one year back but I'm facing constant headache and severe dry eyes Also I tried eye drops like Systems Ultra and Option Fusion nothing works
Hello doctor,I am a student so I sleep late and I rarely get a sleep of more than 7 hours and there's significant usage of phone while I'm awake. My eyesight seems to be normal but when I wake up in the morning, my eyelids are heavy and I find it difficult to keep my eyes open and there is minor irritation in the eyes. It goes away as the day progresses and after I wash my eyes properly in the morning. Please let me know what could be the problem and what medicine should I take to counter it. Thanks a lot :)
