These eye drops offer quick relief from itching, watering eyes, and other discomfort caused by salzmann’s nodules. This procedure can be done.
These treatments are aimed at controlling chronic irritation of the eye such as dry eye, blepharitis and meibomian gland dysfunction. The clinical presentation of snd is variable and the nodules can be. Users have reported that otrivine antistin eye drops provide effective. A bandage contact lens and antibiotic drops are often placed to protect eye after the surgery.
