Sid and All... FYI - It's important that you use the "Refresh" that contains NO PRESERVATIVES if you want to have maximum benefits of what I've found to be just about the the BEST O.T.C. artificial tears-lubricant on the market today - AND the most costly... The Refresh articial tears eye DROPS (as opposed to the ointment, which I've never known about till you mentioned 'em today, Sid!) - so far as I know - that comes in a single bottle *HAS* artificial. The little teensy-teensy bottle *HAS* the preservative, and the even SMALLER, individually packed "drop 'n a half" sized container *does *NOT* have the preservatives in each container. And you can read THAT as "tough for Parkie-fingers not to poke an eye out when attempting to get one or two drops into one's eye, and at about a BUCK a drop (give or take a few cents) ya REALLY don't wanna have them drops running down yer CHEEK instead of making it into your eyes! It's obvious that the good folks at Refresh who make this much needed (tho very expensive in MY book!) product haven't ever watched a Parkie struggle to hold their individual sized (one drop per eye in each container) and at the same time not end up with the drops on your clothing, or your cheek - all the while PRAYING you don't stick the damned container clean thru your eye!!! <DEEP sigh> Barb (squinting at the screen) Mallut [log in to unmask] ginal Message----- From: Sid Levin <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: Sunday, October 22, 2000 11:52 PM Subject: Re: eye sight deficiency in PWP >I can't follow the technicalities of the article on eye deficiency, but my >personal experience is as follows: > >My eyes were getting worse and the eye doctor said he observed "crystals" >forming in my retina.
