Dr. C's Drop Decoder
Eye drops are grouped by what they do, not by brand. Some drops appear in more than one place because they have more than one job. Find your need, then explore the options.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Drops
Water-binding moisture that clings to the eye for longer-lasting hydration.
Lipid-Support Drops
Restore the eye's oily layer for evaporative dry eye and blocked oil glands (MGD).
Multi-Action Drops
One drop that covers more than one need at once.
Peptide-Based Drops
Next-generation peptide support for the ocular surface.
Glycerin & Cellulose Drops
Everyday lubricating tears for quick, as-needed relief.
Gel Drops
Thicker drops that stay on the eye longer for stronger, lasting relief.
Nighttime Lubricants & Ointments
Rich overnight gels and ointments that coat and protect while you sleep.
Allergy Drops
Calm itchy, irritated, allergy-prone eyes.
Ocular Surface Sprays
Spritz onto closed eyelids — great when drops are tricky.
Redness Relief Drops
Reduce the look of redness. Lumify is for short-term cosmetic use.
How to use this guide: It's a starting point for understanding your options, not medical advice. The right drop depends on your eyes — always follow the recommendation of your optometrist or eye care professional. Lumify is intended for short-term cosmetic redness relief only.
