How often should you use numbing eye drops?

4 min read
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, numbing eye drops are never prescribed for long-term use due to the high risk of severe complications, including irreversible damage. Therefore, the frequency of use for numbing eye drops is strictly controlled by a healthcare professional within a clinical setting, such as for a specific procedure or examination, not for at-home pain management.
