A member asked:
I was just given systane ultra for dry eyes. after i put them in do i need to close eyes? or should i be blinking a lot to get it all around

Normal blinking: You will always blink a few extra times with the first application of any drop. This will spread it over the entire eye. You do not need to close the eyes unless it simply makes them feel better. Rely on your normal blinking to keep the eyes moist with the additional moisture of the applied Systane which is a terrific tear supplement.
