FAQs Answered by Pharmacists – Optrex ActiMist for Itchy & Watery Eyes
What is Optrex ActiMist, and how does it help itchy eyes?
Optrex ActiMist is a fine spray for closed eyelids that helps relieve itchy and watery eyes caused by pollen, dust, or tiredness. It works by repairing the moisture barrier on the surface of your eyes. This helps reduce itching and keeps your tears from evaporating too fast. It's clinically proven to provide fast, long-lasting comfort.
How do I use the eye spray correctly?
Before the first use, press the nozzle 3–4 times to activate it. Hold the bottle about 10 cm from your closed eyes and spray once or twice. You can do this 3 to 4 times per day. Ensure your eyes stay closed while spraying, and don't touch the spray tip to your skin. The spray works through your eyelids — it doesn't need to go into your eyes directly.
Is this spray safe to use with contact lenses?
Yes, Optrex ActiMist is safe to use while wearing contact lenses. There's no need to remove them before spraying. Just keep your eyes closed, spray the mist over your eyelids, and wait a few seconds before opening your eyes. This makes it an excellent option for contact lens wearers who want relief without removing their lenses.
What makes Optrex ActiMist different from eye drops?
Unlike regular eye drops, Optrex ActiMist is a spray used on closed eyes. This makes it easier to use — especially for people who struggle with putting drops directly into their eyes. It also helps repair the outer layer of your tear film, which prevents moisture from escaping and causing itchiness or dryness.
Can children use Optrex ActiMist safely?
Yes, this product is suitable for children, but an adult should always supervise them. Be careful when spraying near a child's face — keep the bottle at the correct distance and ensure their eyes are fully closed. If your child has painful or very red eyes, speak to a pharmacist or doctor before using any eye treatment.
How long does the spray last, and when should I throw it away?
After opening the bottle, the spray can be used for up to 6 months. Keep the lid on tightly and store it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Always check the expiry date on the bottle, and don't use it if it's out of date, even if there's liquid left.
Can I use Optrex ActiMist every day?
Yes, this product is suitable for daily use. If you often have itchy or watery eyes, using it regularly can help keep your eye surface hydrated and protected. It's gentle enough for repeated use and doesn't interfere with other eye care products. Just follow the instructions for how many times to spray each day.
