Flarex Reviews
"I’ve been using Flarex for about 3 years. I was suffering from extreme dry eye syndrome due to extensive screen use, so an ophthalmologist gave me a prescription. I’ve recently started to get a cataract in my left eye. I remember once being told by the doctor that Flarex can cause cataracts, so I went off them. Prior to going off them, my eyesight in my left eye was very bad and very blurry/cloudy. It has been 5 days since I stopped it, and every day my eyesight is getting better and better in that eye. So the only thing I want to do to prevent the original condition from returning is to cover all my devices with anti blue light screen protectors, wear anti blue light glasses and take frequent breaks between screen use. Thank goodness I found out what was causing my cataract. My eyesight is so much better now."
For Eye Redness "It made me feel sick especially when I ate food, made me feel nauseous all the time like I was going to vomit. I will ring my doctor in the morning to see if I should continue these drops"
"Always works for my iritis very well but the iritis can return if you don't wean your eye off the drops very slowly."
For Eye Redness "When I get an episcleritis outbreak, these eye drops do okay in reducing the redness in my eye. The mercury based salve thatI used decades ago was the best, but is no longer available."
