Is using eye drops for dry eye safe?

Question:


My mother has diabetes and I just got her Refresh tears eye drops, can she use it safely without any problems?
Thanks for help

Answer:

People with diabetes tend to get dry eyes even more often than non-diabetics. The best treatment is eye drops to keep the eyes lubricated.

Also,you have to be really careful that your eye drops aren't too old. Old
eye drops can have contamination and land you in the ER.
