I don't have dry eyes but i use refresh tears every day while using contact lenses, because i like the cold moist feeling of the drops. This friend of mine told me doing so will make the eyes dependent on artificial tears and reduce the eye's ability to create normal tears- sort of like what happens if a person uses sleeping pills excessively, the body loses its ability to sleep naturally and after a while the person must take the pills to fall asleep.
Is this true? Should I stop using refresh tears?
