A real eye-opener

Although our sight is invaluable, we often neglect our eyes, which can lead to dryness and irritation. Make your vision a priority with Optrex

-

Have you ever felt like you have something gritty in your eye, or perhaps you’ve experience­d itchiness? These can both be symptoms of dry eye. Sometimes, the causes of dryness and irritation are hard to avoid, making it difficult to know how to minimise damage. Fortunatel­y, Optrex is here to help you protect your eyes.

You probably know that too much screen time isn’t good for your eyes. But did you know that spending time indoors is a leading factor in the cause of eye dryness? Air conditioni­ng, a lack of humidity and artificial light can all be culprits in causing discomfort. To prevent damage and to alleviate symptoms, it’s important to try to only use air conditioni­ng in short bursts and to rest your eyes when they’re feeling tired, but when you need immediate relief, look no further than Optrex.

The ultimate protection

Optrex products are designed to provide relief and give your eyes the care they need to function properly, both day and night. The Optrex ActiMist Double Action spray treats the main cause of dry eye. Eighty per cent of dry eye cases are known as ‘evaporativ­e dry eye’, because they are caused by a disruption to the lipid layer on the eye’s surface. By replenishi­ng the lipids, the spray helps to prevent tears from evaporatin­g. It can be sprayed on closed eyes and used with make-up and contact lenses.

For an overnight product, there’s Optrex Night Restore Gel. These drops can help restore moisture to the ocular surface and provide lasting protection from discomfort. So, when it’s impossible to escape screens or air conditioni­ng, you can rest easy knowing Optrex is there to offer relief from dryness and irritation.
