I'm worried about my daughter's vision because she tends to watch TV, read books, and use her phone really close to her eyes. I tried testing her sight by asking her to stand about 2 meters away from a whiteboard to read some letters, but she couldn't identify them all. What should I do?

I'm having trouble with my eyes getting really watery after I've been staring at my screen for a long time or when I'm looking at bright lights for too long. What's causing this and is there a way to fix it?

I accidentally got some Harpic liquid on my skin and washed it off with water right away. I went out and got Refresh Liquigel as a precaution. Could you tell me how many drops I should use and how often?

If youve come into contact with Harpic liquid, it's great that you washed it off immediately. For Refresh Liquigel, usually 1-2 drops in each eye should be enough, 2-3 times a day or as needed for comfort. If irritation persists, its best to consult a doctor.
