Description (by Rebecca)
Same old same old. That said, this is a very practical staple for a ton of people and with good reason. It's fairly 'watery', not thick, gummy or oily so it doesn't muck up your vision. Just a pleasant bland drop. It won't last long enough for those with moderate to severe symptoms - but a lot of them prefer it anyway just because it's comfortable.
