Hy-optic eye drops

Pavane

Well-known member
My vet is keen on a new product: Hy-Optic eye drops. She says they not only lubricate the Cav's eyes, which do not blink completey closed, they help prevent early cataracts.

Any comments?

BTW, this vet turns out to have a special affection for and experience with Cavs.
 
Great information. I just "googled" the product, it sounds like it might be one of those items that should be kept on hand. I know dry eye is such a common condition that many of us appreciate the heads up. Thanks. Here's what I found:
