[Combining artificial tears---are they always synergistic?].
We report one case of thick, sticky, palpebral and conjunctival deposits following administration of artificial tears in a patient treated for dry eye syndrome. Experimental data confirmed clinical observation. The association of Refresh artificial tears and Dacudoses or Dacryoserum used as a washing solution should be avoided.
