Could frequent use of sno-tears eyedrop, weaken eye lacrimal glands to act properly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No effect: Tears supplement the natural tears and relieve symptoms related to this. They have no effect on tear production and will not change the physiological pattern for which tear supplementation is needed. So continue to use tears as needed.
