Optrex ActiMist Double Action for Dry & Tired Eyes (10ml)

Product Summary

Optrex ActiMist Double Action for Dry & Tired Eyes has been specifically designed to help combat the effects of modern living, such as computer work, air conditioning and pollution.

It is a clinically proven eye spray for immediate relief from the symptoms of dry and irritated eyes, such as a dry, irritated, gritty, or burning sensation when you blink, but is not usually painful.

Dry eye will usually affect both eyes together but your vision should remain normal.

Symptoms often worsen as the day goes on.

Dry eye is often caused by:

• use of contact lenses.
• working in dusty environments.
• air conditioning. This dries out the air so reduces moisture in the eyes.
• use of computer screens or watching TV, or reading. This can cause us to stare for longer periods without regular rests, reducing the frequency of blinking. Blinking regularly will help to lubricate the eyes by spreading tears across your eyeball. The lack of blinking can therefore lead to a reduction of the protective lipid layer over the eye.
• ageing: as we get older, our tear ducts can tend to produce less tears, so there is a greater need to lubricate the eyes.
• hormonal changes during the menopause
• some medications, such as allergy tablets containing antihistamines

Dry eyes can occur when we don't produce enough tears or have a reduced oily protective tear film.

Key Features

Optrex ActiMist Double Action for Dry & Tired Eyes works by stabilising the lipid layer: the part of the eye's natural tear film which reduces tear evaporation.

Top Tips

• Drink plenty of water. This helps keep your whole body, including your eyes, hydrated.
• If you work at a computer, remember to take regular breaks and blink as often as you can.
• If possible, try turning the heating or air-conditioning down a little to avoid drying out your eyes.
• Try to keep your workplace well ventilated. If this is difficult, keep a bowl of water nearby (preferably by the heater if it's on) to increase the humidity in the room.
• If you wear contact lenses, try to apply Optrex ActiMist regularly, even before the eyes feel irritated.
• Try applying a hot compress to the eyes to help stimulate the tear ducts to produce more tears.
