I’ve stopped flying with my contacts in because my eyes are simply too dry by the end of the flight and feel miserable. Dry eyes, I’ve noticed, contribute to my jet lag and I have therefore started flying with my glasses instead.
Although I haven’t tried it, apparently there is a very popular eye drop in Japan designed specifically to remedy such a condition. Namida Rohto i.Q. Moischarge Eyedrops have a touch of menthol in them that make your eyes water and sting before overwhelming them with a “cool sensation” that is supposed to be an incredible pick-me-up according to Douglas Krone, CEO of Dynamism, in a recent Business 2.0 interview.
Unfortunately, the American version has less menthol than the one on the Japanese market and is therefore not as powerful. Nonetheless, I’m curious. Has anyone tried these miracle drops and would like to comment?
