It really helps to reduce inflammation and produces more natural tears for both of us! Having a kid and working from home is stressful enough and I'm grateful that we found something that works to mitigate those eye symptoms.It's an immunosuppressant, so it comes with some potential side effects, but I've managed to avoid any major issues.
