A fresh perspectiv­e

It may be hard to avoid using screens, but Optrex can help refresh and protect strained eyes

-

Between phones, laptops and the TV, it’s easy to lose track of how much time we’ve spent staring at screens each day. This is especially true at the moment, when more time at home has meant a significan­t increase in virtual activity for many of us.

If your eyes are feeling more tired than usual, then you may be suffering from screen fatigue, which is thought to affect 90% of computer users. Symptoms can include frequent headaches and blurry vision, which can make it difficult to concentrat­e for long periods of time. According to one study, eye strain has increased by more than 60% in recent months, which is likely a direct result of remote working and learning.

Thankfully, screen fatigue doesn’t mean permanent damage, and there are simple steps you can take to help protect your eyes – such as using Optrex’s ActiMist for Tired and Strained Eyes.

How does it work?

When your eyes feel tired and strained, it can be because their protective lipid layer has become damaged. The Optrex ActiMist Spray for Tired and Strained Eyes helps restore the lipid layer by replenishi­ng the tear film with moisture, providing cool, soothing relief for up to four hours at a time.

This handy, preservati­ve-free solution comes in a pocket-sized bottle and can even be used when you’re wearing contact lenses or make-up, so you can benefit from fast-acting relief wherever and whenever suits you, without having to touch your eyes.
