I've been using it ever since my lasix surgery. THe only drawback is that it is a very expensive drug in the US - don't know about how that goes in Canada.

In order to make it go further, it comes in little tiny vials - which if I did not use the whole thing, I put in a jigger (liquor container) on my bathroom counter for the evening use. My doctor recommended this! Anyway, it is recommended to use twice a day at first - and now that I'm pretty far away from the surgery in time, I use it once a day in the morning. It really does help, but you will also need to use dry eye drops as needed.

A teacher at school was just telling me about something like this. She has it in tiny vials. They don't sell it in the pharmacy (maybe it's only from the US) but she gets it because she's in a 'study'. She didn't tell me what it was called but it sounds the same. She said it works better because it doesn't have preservatives in it. She's going to bring me some to try.
