2. Sante Medical 12 (サンテメディカル12)
Eyestrain is a very common symptom in modern days, and Japan produces lots of eye drops for it. Out of 100s, my recommendation is this Sante Medial 12, which is slightly pricey than others but really effective. The drop contains 12 different active ingredients which will ease the strength on eyes.
