Reviews about Strix Kids
Reviews about Strix Kids, found on medical sites, are far from unambiguous. Many parents note that their children, after taking a course of the drug, stopped complaining of eye fatigue. The supplement also helped relieve the redness and gritty eyes that schoolchildren have after completing all their homework. The positive effect of the drug was especially noticeable against the background of restrictions on the load on the eyes, including a ban on watching TV and playing games on the computer. In some cases, after the treatment, an improvement in visual acuity was observed.
At the same time, there are many reviews in which parents point to a complete lack of therapeutic effect as a result of taking a dietary supplement. Some consider the drug to be a common vitamin complex, not intended for eye treatment. However, sometimes doubts are expressed about the safety of using the drug in children, since it is not a drug.
