Most Australians have experienced dry eye1 and know there’s no ignoring the attention symptoms demand.

  • At first it may be the sensation of dryness or grittiness, like your eye lids are dry wipers on a windscreen without water
  • There may be redness resulting from irritation of your eye’s surface
  • And your body may set in motion a flood of tears in a desperate attempt to soothe those sore eyes, making it even harder to see

If you see or feel the signs, it’s time to take action.

                               

Some tips to maintain eye health

  • Protect or avoid exposing your eyes to pollutants like smoke and from wind and air conditioning that may dry them out. Keeping your home humidified can help prevent it from being drying on the eye.
  • Reduce digital eye strain with regular breaks from screen time.
  • Protect your eyes from ultraviolet exposure with appropriate sunglasses when outside.
  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water each day.
  • Give those eyes some down time by getting plenty of sleep each night.

                               

When it’s time for a trip to your doctor or local pharmacy

When these measures aren’t enough, it may be time to visit your doctor for advice on how to best manage your symptoms. Your local pharmacy can also provide advice on over-the-counter eye drops to help relieve dry eye. But not just any eye drop will do because there’s more to be done than just flooding the eye with fluid. 

To help relieve the gritty, stinging discomfort and help protect the delicate outer layer of the eye, OPTIVE FUSION® has a triple action formula, including sodium hyaluronate to not just replace tears, but help add back in moisture.

  1. From DRYNESS to HYDRATION to help replenish lost moisture and maintain hydration of the eye surface thanks to sodium hyaluronate. 
  2. From VULNERABLE to PROTECTION from further irritation with a protective layer that helps lubricate and keep moisture in from carmellose sodium and glycerin. 
  3. From IRRITATED to COMFORT from dry eye symptoms that’s fast and long lasting. 

The range is compatible with contact lenses and is available in a multidose bottle, or preservative-free single-use containers.
