I was having issues with my eyes being very sensitive and getting tired easily as I work at a computer screen every day. I feel like this has helped me significantly. I have tried a few other products that were priced similarly but this seems to be more comprehensive, which seems to make sense as it has produced better results. I started noticing more improvement after the first month. I think it is totally worth it and would suggest you try it out if you have any issues with your eyes.*
