Eye drops in first trimester?

Hello everyone!

I suffer from dry eyes normally from being in front of the laptop for so long! I try to take breaks etc but can still end up with headaches.

I'm in my first trimester and I'm just wondering if I'm OK to use dry eye drops? (I used to use them before pregnancy)

The ingredients are hyaluronic acid 0.30%, disodium educated and phmb.

Thank you

They're just to moisten the surface of the eyes. Absolutely fine.

Yes I think it’s only prescription dry eye drops you would need to not use - cyclosporine/Ikervis.

There are certain over the counter drops that aren't meant to be used in pregnancy for some reason, I work closely with opticians and when I was pregnant they said to switch to hycosan drops...something to do with preservatives in some of them? Hycosan doesn't have any preservatives in it apparently.
