Constant work at the computer began to bring a feeling of dryness and discomfort. In the evening, the eyes have a feeling of sand, vision is blurry and indistinct. On the recommendation of a colleague, I used Slezin drops for a week. The moisturizing effect appeared after 2-3 instillations, the fatigue decreased. The tool is notable for its low price, economical in use.
Alexander, 43 years old
I work with granite chips, make monuments and sculptures. The dust constantly flies into the eyes, causing painful irritation. Sometimes, after the change, I bury Slezin drops in order to reduce the discomfort. The only drawback of the drug is turbidity after application, which prevents you from immediately driving.
Victoria, 24 years old
Slezin drops are constantly present in the medicine cabinet. I always take the solution on flights to improve my condition while traveling. They help to cope with dryness, so I don't look tired, there is no redness and itching. I liked that there are no side effects, but I have to throw out the bottle after a month, which I consider uneconomical.
